Abstract

This research report presents worldwide mobile phone shipment volume forecast and recent quarter review of major mobile phone vendor performance. The report includes major vendors' shipment volume, shipment growth trends, shipment revenue and revenue growth trends, operating profit margin and ASP, along with analyst insights. The report finds that the worldwide mobile phone shipment volume continued to grow sequentially and year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2013, to around 490.6 million units. With shipment volume of around 291.3 million units, smartphones alone enjoyed over 11.9% sequential growth in the fourth quarter. Worldwide mobile phone shipment volume, though still on the rise, witnessed growth slowdown, especially the first-tier branded vendors, in the fourth quarter of 2013. Although the continued low-price trend remains a worry for branded vendors, telematics smartphone applications are likely to open a new window of opportunity for the mobile phone industry.
