Global Handset Shipments Forecast by Quarter: Q2 2012

Strategy Analytics forecasts global handset shipments to grow a sluggish +4% in the second quarter of 2012. Economic slowdowns in the Eurozone, Asia and North America will place a cap on handset growth. However, an improved pipeline of major new models -- particularly Apple's iPhone 5 -- will help to stabilize volumes during the second half of the year. LTE technology will remain the industry's most important segment, doubling shipments worldwide in 2013. This extensive report forecasts global handset shipments by region, by technology and by device type on a quarterly basis from 2000 to Q4 2013. The report goes on to forecast global handset shipments, revenues, ASPs and operating profits for 8 major vendors, such as Sony and HTC, from 2000 until Q4 2013. Global grey phone volumes and smartphone shipments by quarter through Q4 2013 are also included.
