Global Smartphone Device Market Share Nokia will see increased competition, but will remain the global leader. With devices like the iPhone from Apple, the Magic and Dream from HTC, and the Tour from Research in Motion, and upcoming smartphones from the likes of Samsung and LG, Nokia will continue to see its dominant foothold on the smartphone market shrink from 44% today, to around 36% in 2014. RIM should continue to hold around 17% of the market, while companies like Apple, HTC, Samsung, and LG should account for a large part of the bite out of Nokia’s share of the market.

Global Smartphone Operating System Market Share Android will make the biggest jump in market share by 2014. Due to the low cost and availability of the Android OS, it is expected to grow from approximately 1% of the global smartphone market to the third largest share – 12% by 2014. This could become the fastest growth for a mobile product in the history of the mobile industry. Apple will remain strong, but is limited by its proprietary model. Although the iPhone is the most popular product on the market, ultimately, Apple will be limited by having fewer models available. This could change if Apple decides to release multiple iPhone product lines similar to its business model with the iPod product.

North American Smartphone Operating System Forecast 11

North American Mobile Operating System Market Share RIM maintains the dominant smartphone OS in North America, but their market share will be significantly reduced by 2014. With 58% of the North American smartphone market share, RIM hasn’t had a lot of competition from its competitors. Although Apple has been successful with it’s iPhone product, it hasn’t been able to gain on the breadth of RIM’s blackberry product line. Windows Mobile has been limited by licensing fees and underperformance. However, with the introduction of Android and Palm WebOS, competition and products will be coming from all angles. This competition should provide the variety in the North American smartphone market that will really fuel the growth of the market as a whole.
