Sony Ericsson the World's Fastest-Growing Mobile Vendor in Q3 2006
30 October 2006 by axxxr High demand for the Walkman and CyberShot ranges helped Sony Ericsson to grow quickest.
An all-time record 256 million mobile phones were shipped worldwide in Q3 2006, up 22% from a year earlier. Amid further signs that ‘Razr mania’ has peaked, Motorola lost its crown as the world’s fastest-growing top-six vendor for the first time since Q1 2005. High demand for the Walkman and CyberShot ranges helped Sony Ericsson to grow quickest, at 43% annually, compared with a slightly lower 39% from Motorola. Meanwhile, Nokia reached its highest mark for 3 years, registering 89 million units for a 35% share. Samsung gained sequentially one point of market share, due to healthy sales of its new Ultra Edition portfolio of slimphones. In contrast, despite the wildly popular Chocolate family, LG registered just 6% annual growth; its slowest rate since our records began. BenQ-Siemens continues its almost inevitable movement to market exit. Following 716 million units shipped in total globally during the first 9 months, Strategy Analytics maintains its forecast of 1.00 billion units / +22% YoY for the full-year 2006. www.strategyanalytics.net
