2016-08-19 11:32:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) GfK has upgraded its forecast for global smartphone sales, saying it sees stronger sales of mid-range and high-end phones, helping to reverse the trend of sub-USD 100 phones gaining share. It now expects annual sales of USD 425.9 billion, equal to growth of 5 percent from USD 406.0 billion in 2015, compared to a previous forecast for a small fall to USD 400.7 billion. GfK's forecast are based on retail sales, rather than manufacturer shipments as used by most market researchers. GfK said volume growth is coming from many emerging markets, especially a resurgent China, as well as parts of Asia and Africa. Especially consumers in rural areas are driving the demand, it said.

Global smartphone market flat in Q1 - IDC
2016-04-28 10:50:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The global smartphone market slowed significantly in the first quarter, with shipments little changed at 334.9 million units versus 334.3 million a year ago, according to estimates from IDC. The market researcher said this was the smallest year-over-year growth on record. It attributed the slowdown to saturation in developed markets, as well as declines at both Apple and Samsung, the two market leaders. IDC estimates Samsung's shipments fell 0.6 percent year-on-year to 81.9 million, while its market share was largely stable at 24.5 percent. Apple's share dropped to 15.3 percent from 18.3 percent a year ago, as its shipments fell 16.3 percent year-on-year. Huawei took third place with 8.2 percent of the market, as its shipments jumped 58.4 percent year-on-year to 27.5 million.

Global smartphone shipments increase 11.6% in Q2
2015-07-23 17:42:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Global smartphone shipments rose 11.6 percent year-on-year in the second quarter to 337.2 million, according to market researcher IDC. This is the second highest quarterly total on record, with growth sustained after a strong Q1 by robust demand in many emerging markets. IDC said more affordable smartphones, often from local vendors, were driving the growth in the market, rather than the premium smartphones from the likes of Samsung and Apple. The market researcher noted as well that new vendors are joining the market every quarter in order to capitalise on the local demand, with IDC now tracking over 200 smartphone brands in its reports. The shift to low-cost smartphones was underlined by the contraction in the feature phone market, with total mobile phone shipments down by 0.4 percent in the second quarter to 464.6 million units. The top five vendors included three from China: Huawei in third place with an 8.9 percent share of the global smartphone market, up from 6.7 percent a year ago; Xiaomi with a 5.3 percent share or 17.3 million phones sold; and Lenovo, with a 4.8 percent share, down from 8.0 percent year ago pro forma for its takeover of Motorola. Samsung remained the top vendor, with an estimated share of 21.7 percent of shipments, down from 24.8 percent a year ago. Apple was in second place, taking a market share of 14.1 percent, up from 11.7 percent in the year-earlier period.

Global smartphone growth to slow to 11.3% in 2015 - IDC
2015-05-27 09:23:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Overall worldwide smartphone growth is expected to slow further to 11.3 percent in 2015, down from 27.6 percent in 2014, according to the latest data from the International Data Corporation (IDC). Although the researcher is sticking to its forecast of 1.9 billion annual shipments by 2019, the previous forecast of 11.8 percent growth in 2015 has been revised down slightly due in part to saturation in the Chinese smartphone market. In fact, 2015 will be the first year that China's smartphone growth (just 2.5 percent) will be slower than the worldwide market. Android smartphone growth is also expected to be slower than the worldwide market at 8.5 percent in 2015 due to the fact that China accounts for around 36 percent of total Android smartphone shipments.
