Abstract
The Chinese cellular and PHS handset market has grown at a breakneck pace and
the cellular handset market is forecast to reach almost 200 million units by
2011. It is in a period of transition as the 3G licenses will be issued and
the shipment of 3G handset is forecast to grow fast in the forecast period.
Dual mode handsets will be the major 3G handsets in early period of 3G
development in China.
In 2006, China supplied 43% of the worldwide cellular handset market. This has
made China the largest cellular handset production base in the world. Some
multinational manufacturers plan to or have set up their factories in some
other lower cost areas such as India. However, this will not change China' s
role as a worldwide handset production base in recent several years. By 2011,
it is forecast that about 55% of the worldwide cellular handset shipments are
produced in China. The market shipment for PHS handset is forecast to fall
slightly during the forecast period.
This report examines the Chinese market for 2G, 2.5G, 3G and PHS handsets, as
well as the Chinese market for mobile communication base stations. The report
also examines the production and design of the handsets and base stations.
The report also provides detailed review and forecasts for the Chinese markets
for GSM, CDMA and PHS handset split by nine different enabled features,
including penetration rate analysis for each market segment.
The report is designed to provide marketing and technical executives with an
up-to- date comprehensive description of the Chinese mobile market and to
identify trends that will impact the market over the next five years. It
should prove highly valuable for design houses, mobile handset &
infrastructure suppliers, IC suppliers, as well as other components suppliers
who want to have an in-depth understanding of Chinese market for 2G, 2.5G, 3G
and PHS handsets, as well as the Chinese market for mobile communication base
stations; banks, consultancies and venture capitalists that want to gain a
detailed understanding of the cellular & PHS market in China.
