: Research and Markets: Global Mobile Phone & Smartphone Market (2010 - 2015)(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RDATE:24022011 Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b693d5/global_mobile_phon) has announced the addition of the "Global Mobile Phone & Smartphone Market (2010 - 2015)" report to their offering. Mobile handsets market has seen an exponential growth since its first commercial launch in 1983. There were 12 million global mobile phone subscribers in 1990 and by the end of 2010, the number of mobile phone subscribers reached 5.2 billion. However, the growth had slowed a bit between 2006 and 2009 on the account of economic slowdown and lack of strong telecommunication infrastructure in emerging countries. Smartphones are fast becoming a viable alternative to feature phones, PDAs and laptops, offering phone features such as voice and SMS coupled with mobile internet applications, multimedia functionality, high speed data processing capabilities, and inbuilt GPS capabilities. The report aims at providing extensive market intelligence on the mobile phone & smartphone market. The smartphone market is currently witnessing high growth due to a host of factors, including lower product cost, improved handset design and functionalities, the expansion of global mobile email and browsing services, the emergence of 3G and 4G network technologies, the rising competition among mobile carriers, and the standardization and upgrades of operating systems. This report will identify the key players in each application market; focusing on their growth strategies and other developments such as geographic expansion and the development of patented technologies. The global smartphones market registered growth at a brisk pace, accounting for 22% of the global mobile handset sales in 2010. This high growth has been backed by rapid technology developments such as high-speed internet browsing, sophisticated personal and professional data management, and the evolution of 3G and 4G network technologies. The usability and the device class has helped the market to avoid a repeat of Q109 when market tumbled by 4% over Q408. Our research indicates that the average selling price of smartphones devices is expected to reduce from $309 in 2009 to $264 by 2015. However, data theft and operation issues may limit market growth. Finland-based Nokia held the maximum share of the global smartphones device market in 2010, followed by the U.S.-based companies Research in Motion and Apple.
