Nokia and Samsung's dominance in the mobile phone market, both globally and within the Asia-Pacific region, is set to continue for at least another year, said analysts. However, the rest of the top 5 positions will be marked by volatility.
In the first quarter of 2011, the top 5 mobile handset manufacturers worldwide were
- Nokia,
- Samsung,
- LG Electronics,
- Apple and
- Research In Motion (RIM),
According to separate reports from Gartner and Frost & Sullivan. ABI Research listed ZTE at No. 5, with RIM trailing close behind the Chinese manufacturer.
A year ago, the leading five phonemakers were Nokia, Samsung, LG, RIM and Sony Ericsson, noted Jake Saunders, ABI Research's vice president of forecasting.
The picture is slightly different in the Asia-Pacific region excluding Japan, where top performers for Q1 are Nokia, Samsung, ZTE, LG and Huawei, according to statistics from IDC.
