Nokia Holds the Top Spot Shipments in China 2011
Posted on January 9, 2012 by davaliao
Despite the shipments decrease quarter by quarter, Nokia was No.1 in
terms of shipments in China unexpectedly.
According to the market research firm Strategy Analytics, with 24
million shipments, China became the global biggest smartphone market
in the third quarter, defeating USA’s 23 million.
The company’s CEO Neil Mawston said, China has become a huge
smartphone market which increases gradually and no hardware
manufacturers, components manufacturers or content suppliers can
ignore.
According to Analysys International’s figures, in the first three
quarters in 2011, Nokia’s shipments separately reached 6.83 million,
5.12 million and 4.01 million, taking the first place. Samsung took
the second place by 6.61 million, 4.4 million and 5.44 million.
Nokia’s market share of Chinese smartphone market for the first three
quarters were 43.7%, 30.4% and 18% correspondingly.
As Apple and Android rise abruptly, Nokia’s market share is going
downhill. According to Gartner statistics, in the third quarter 2010
Symbian’s market share was 36.3% and decreased to 16.9% in 2011 while
Android increased 52.5% from 25.3%.
Ying Wang, the analyst of Analysys International thinks, although the
industry delegates pay attention to Nokia’s future trend, the media is
always bad-mouthing it. However, Nokia has been formed its own brand
influence in China for more than ten years. The company has obtained
the best channel and expanded to the fifth and sixth-tier cities.
The local smartphones featured with Android system should not be
underestimated. In the third quarter, benefited from the China
Telecom’s customized phones, Huawei exceeded Apple to become the third
largest smartphone manufacturers in China. What’s more, ZTE, K-TOUCH
and Lenovo grasped the market share actively.
