Samsung and Apple control over 90% of the mobile phone market

Who would have thought that in just a few years only two companies would become not just leaders in their field, but giants controlling almost 100% of the smartphone and telephone market. The other day there was a publication of one of the analysts, with data on the financial dominance of Apple and Samsung in this area. At the same time, the Yablochnik’s share is 80%, and Samsung, respectively, is 15%, which, you see, is also very good.

According to analytical agency Canaccord Genuity, in the third quarter of last year, Apple owned about 56% of the smartphone market. In the fourth quarter, the share increased to 80%. In many ways, this growth is due to the emergence and popularization of the iPhone 4S phone, and the old versions of smartphones from the Cupertino company are also popular.

As for Samsung, the market share of this company fell from 26% to 15%. It is worth noting that Apple sold 37 million iPhones for the quarter, which helped the company to get 13 billion dollars. Samsung, according to analysts, has sold about 35 million of its phones, which is only 2 million less than its rival. In general, the struggle of Apple with Samsung makes it now virtually impossible for a third opponent to emerge, from among known or not so companies.

HTC also controls only 3% of the mobile device market, releasing new flagships and regular smartphones ( dual-core smartphones have become a tradition). As for Nokia and Rim, these companies own about 2% of the pie. Well, all other companies have a very small percentage in this area. So far, there is no threat to the two leaders of the mobile phone market, which were discussed above. However, in the event of a global crisis, there will be problems, not only for Apple and Samsung, but for all participants in this market.
