Mobile phones have come a long way in last couple of decades. From just a calling instrument, today’s mobile phones have become “smarter” and undertake all those activities that are performed by computers and laptops. In 2010, more than 1.5 billion mobile handsets were shipped globally, of which almost 20% were smartphones. And by 2015, we estimated that the smartphones will make up to 45% of the 2.1 billion mobile handset shipments worldwide. This growth will primarily be due to ever declining smartphone prices as a result of intense competition, popularization of application stores and continued adoption of 3G and 4G technologies. Synergyst’s “Global Smartphones Market Forecast (2011-2015)” report presents a high quality analysis of the current and future smartphones market. Statistics relating to smartphone shipments, industry revenues, market shares of vendors, operating system adoption, average selling prices and other trends are covered in detail.
