GLOBAL CELLPHONE MARKET & SUBSCRIBER/OPERATOR ECOSYSTEM

Study Provides Strategies & Insight for the Cellphone Market and the Dynamics of Subscribers, Operators and Internet Penetration by Country

Report No. 1020

Quarterly shipment rankings for the top 5 cellphone makers are widely reported. But this report details shipments of ten times that many suppliers (over 50) for all of 2009, profiling each so that their market approaches, product strengths and weaknesses are understandable, providing valuable information for your company's own product planning.

This report goes into even greater detail on the top 30 cellphone suppliers indicating detailed 2009 shipments by each by geography by cellphone types and by air technology.

The company and product/service profile information provided is especially important in understanding the demand for different types of cellphones in each region. Budget handsets that are most desirable in India (FM radio and built-in LED flashlight), for example, are not the ones most wanted in China (bright color screens and MP3). At the top end of the market, smartphones that appeal to Japanese subscribers differ from those that Western Europeans want.

Detailed forecasts for handsets by region and air technology within each region are provided worldwide, through 2014.

Subscriber makeup by population (POPs), air technology (GSM, UMTS, HSPA, CDMA-1x, CDMA EV-DO), mobile Internet subscribers and 2009 subscriber growths are provided for each of 188 individual countries.
