VOICE India, China Set to Boost Global Smartphone Sales
A
researcher has said that low penetration in developing countries was to cause fast shipment growth, as phone sales in advanced nations are set to decline further. As we are set to move towards 2013, global smartphone shipments are expected to grow by 30.2 percent to 865 million units next year, accounting for about 43.9 percent of total cellphone shipments, boosted by strong demand from developing countries such as China and India, a Taiwan’s DigiTimes Research and forecasted this. This year, global smartphone shipments are expected to grow nearly 37 percent year-on-year to 664.6 million units. Smartphones are likely to grow at a fast rate in emerging markets such as China, Russia, India, Indonesia and South America, due to low smartphone penetration. Meanwhile, demand for high-end smartphones in Western European countries may be affected by the countries’ economic condition, because most have announced austerity measures that would weaken consumer spending. Next year 2013, growth for smartphone brands will depend on their partnerships with software developers, hardware manufacturers, the strength of market demand and telecommunications carriers’ policies. In addition, Nokia Oyj and Research In Motion Ltd may face growth limitations while attempting to transform their businesses, and online retailer Amazon.com Inc is poised to enter the already crowded smartphone market next year. But consider that according to a Digitimes Research report, worldwide smartphone shipments are set to expand by 30.2% to 865 million units next year — 43.9% of total cellphone shipments — with strong demand from the likes of China and India largely responsible for the increase thanks to their low current smartphone penetration. Here in India we are set for another round of spectrum battles ahead in the year 2013.
