Global Business Smartphone Shipments Forecast: Q2 2014 Update

Smartphone sales to business users, both though corporate-liable purchasing and from BYOD volume, is on pace to grow more than 20% in 2014 over last year’s volume of nearly 280 million units. Despite the disparity in volume, where global personal-liable sales will be more than double the unit count of corporate purchases in 2014, the gap between the two classes of device ownership can slightly shrink over the next few years if corporate purchases continue their current surge. This forecast is developed alongside Strategy Analytics’ quarterly tracking of corporate-liable and personal-liable smartphone sales. It delivers our best expectation for how these two business-focused segments will progress regionally, as well as at the country level in North America and Western Europe over the next five years.
