Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Apple lose global Handset Market share in Q1 2008
Strategy Analytics have released a report on cellphone sales for Q1 2008. According to them “282 million cellphones were shipped worldwide in Q1 2008, up a healthy 14% year-over-year. Demand remained strong in emerging markets, particularly Africa and Asia. Korean vendors LG and Samsung were the star performers, growing 2 to 4 times faster than the industry average.
Nokia maintained a commanding 41% share, but weakness in North America and in smartphones is causing concern. Motorola slumped and is in real danger of being overtaken by LG. Sony Ericsson’s growth came to a grinding halt, due to sub-brand fatigue. Meanwhile, Apple saw its global handset marketshare slip to 0.6%.” Further information can be obtained here.
