Mobile Device Market for 1Q 2008

Mobile Device Market Exceeds Expectations to Deliver 289 Million in 1Q 2008.

“Operators and distributors continued to top up their inventories in 1Q 2008 after a particularly strong 4Q 2007,” says ABI Research vice president Jake Saunders. “Year on year, 1Q 2008 was up 13.7%, but 2Q 2008 is likely to be softer than in previous years.”

In the market-share stakes:

Nokia = 39.9%
Samsung = 16%
Motorola = 9.5% (down 2.6%)
LG = 8.4%
Sony Ericsson = 7.7%

Additionally, WCDMA continues to build momentum with shipment volumes that are up 44% YoY – but no one should count out GSM, as GSM-enabled handsets grew 17% in the quarter.
