Cell phone and particularly smartphone industry is booming and growing very fast - reports Gartner research group. Global sales of mobile phones in first quarter of 2010 went up by 17%. The report says that sales reached 314.7 million handsets and were notably driven by sales of white-box phones (cheap, unbranded devices) in India. New prediction expects sales to rise around 14%. Smartphones had a big part in the overall sales accounting for 17.3% compares to 13.6% last year. Smartphones has also achieved a large rise of 49% (54 million handsets sold worldwide), which is the greatest annual increase since 2006.
The best results had RIM, Apple, and Google at the expense of Nokia. Nokia, the world's largest producer, has maintained its fist place, but lost market share, falling from 36.2% to 35%. While company's middle class phones sold well, Nokia evidently lacks a good high-end phone. Research in Motion, the BlackBerry producer, placed itself in the top five vendors worldwide thanks to good smartphone sales with global market of 3.4%. Apple also did a good job reaching seventh place due to iPhone sales, which have more than doubled. Google again has proved its great strategy and noted fourth place on the global market with an enormous increase from 1.6% to 9.6%.
I think that this report shows that my thesis about the market and smartphones becoming very popular is correct and we will see even better results soon. The video above also proves some of mine statements, for example one concerning AT&T network.
