Abstract
Smartphone shipments in China grew 30% to 23.6 million in 2008 despite China' s
uncertain economy and overall stagnation in handset shipment growth. Mobile
Internet applications, GPS, and multimedia functionality have been the most
important drivers of this growth.
In-Stat estimates that the compound annual growth rate of China' s smartphone
market will be 25% throughout the period 2009 to 2013 and that the next wave
of smartphone market growth will be driven by lowered barriers-to-entry on
both the OS and chipset platform solution sides. This report examines the
changing dynamics of China' s smartphone OS and chipset platform markets and
analyzes how these will drive the smartphone market in coming years. Details
of other significant drivers are also provided.
