Smartphone Sales

Smartphone Sales

Although RIM's market share of the smartphone market has dropped from 19.7% to 12.9% in Q1, they have actually increased unit sales from 10.7 mil to 13 mil. The growth of the smartphone market itself is enough to generate organic sales growth for RIM.

This is without the introduction of all the new QNX based phones or the touch screen Bold. As well, sales are probably also lower as some users will delay buying new phones until the new models are out.

Global Smartphone sales statistics

Global Smartphone market shareA new report from Gartner showed a 19% growth overall in all mobile handset sales, but what about Smartphones?

With Smartphones increasingly becoming the default phone in the majoreconomies, it’s no surprise to see sales increase by 85% year-on-year,but this could have been even higher according to Gartner:

manufacturers announced a number of high-profile devicesduring the first quarter of 2011 that would not ship until the secondquarter of 2011. We believe some consumers delayed their purchases towait for these models

So, who are the winners and losers?

It’s no surprise to see Android at the top with a massive increase inmarket share from 9.6% in Q1 2010 to 36% in Q1 2011. Apple was theother winner with a steady increase from 15.3% to 16.8%. Android inparticular took big chunks out of Nokia’s Symbian as it fell from 44.2%to 27.4%. RIM (Blackberry) grew in handset sales, but lost out in marketshare from 19.7% to 12.9%.
