IDC调查:2015年Windows Phone市场份额或超苹果iOS

发布时间:2011-03-30 12:27:43 Tags:,,,,,

据市场调研公司IDC最近的报告显示,2011年全球智能手机出售量将超过4.5亿部,增长率达49.2%,而在2010年全球智能手机出售量为3.034亿部。

游戏邦获悉苹果iOS智能手机在今年的出售量将占全球市场的15.7%,居于第三名;而市场冠军Android的占有率达到39.5%,亚军Symbian的同一比例为20.9%。

尽管iPhone自2007年面世以来获得了巨大发展,但IDC预测该平台在2015年的市场份额将跌至15.3%。游戏邦认为更令人意外的是,IDC预测Windows Phone 7和Windows Mobile到2015年的市场份额将增长至20.9%——因为诺基亚与微软联姻,所以Windows Phone平台显示出了乐观的发展势头。据称微软为这一合作项目向诺基亚支付了数十亿美元。

IDC移动科技及市场趋势小组的高级调研分析师Ramon Llamas表示,“在WP7去年问世之前,微软的手机市场份额一直在持续下滑,而同一时期其他的手机操作系统却在不断增势。微软与诺基亚结盟,将有助于结合诺基亚强大的硬件设备和Windows Phone的平台差异化优势,让二者同时从中获益。我们预计第一款WP7诺基亚手机会在2012年发布。并预测到2015年,Windows Phone将成为仅次于Android的第二大手机平台。”

除此之外,IDC报告还指出,诺基亚原先最主要的手机平台Symbian在2015年的市场份额将骤降至0.2%。

IDC预测智能手机市场今年将以比整个手机市场快4倍的速度向前发展,不过游戏邦获知该报告也指出2011年智能手机市场发展势头并不如去年一样强劲。

“Android在2010年是排名第二的主流智能手机操作系统,有望在今年成为冠军。对于那些采用Android平台的手机设备制造商来说,2010年还只是一个开端,今年才是真正争取更多用户,尤其是那些首次购买智能手机用户的关键时刻。”

在今年初,IDC调查发现苹果是全球智能手机硬件设备销量第二的公司,其市场份额为16.1%,仅次于诺基亚,后者在2010年第四季度的硬件设备出货量的市场份额约28%。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

IDC predicts Windows Phone will top Apple’s iOS in market share by 2015

A new forecast of the global smartphone platform market from research firm IDC has predicted that Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform will see a resurgence in the next four years, overtaking Apple’s iOS platform which powers the iPhone.

IDC on Tuesday revealed its prediction that the worldwide smartphone market will grow 49.2 percent in 2011, with more than 450 million smartphones shipped. That would be a major increase from the 303.4 million units shipped in 2010.

IDC sees Apple’s iOS taking 15.7 percent of global smartphone operating system market shipments in 2011. That would place Apple’s platform which powers the iPhone in third place, behind market leader Android, with 39.5 percent, and Symbian, with 20.9 percent.

But despite the tremendous growth of the iPhone since it was introduced in 2007, IDC sees Apple’s platform share actually dipping in global share by 2015 to 15.3 percent. Perhaps most surprising is the firm’s prediction that Windows Phone 7 and Windows Mobile will grow to 20.9 percent of the market by 2015.

Growth of the multi-device Windows Phone platform is expected to be driven by Nokia’s decision to adopt Microsoft’s platform on its future mobile devices. Microsoft is said to be paying billions of dollars to Nokia in their arrangement.

“Up until the launch of Windows Phone 7 last year, Microsoft has steadily lost market share while other operating systems have brought forth new and appealing experiences,” said Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst with IDC’s Mobile Devices Technology and Trends team. “The new alliance brings together Nokia’s hardware capabilities and Windows Phone’s differentiated platform. We expect the first devices to launch in 2012. By 2015, IDC expects Windows Phone to be number 2 operating system worldwide behind Android.”

Accordingly, IDC sees the share of Nokia’s once-dominant Symbian platform dropping significantly by 2015. In the next four years, IDC sees Symbian representing just 0.2 percent of shipments.

IDC sees the smartphone market growing more than four times faster than the overall mobile phone market in the coming years. However, in the firm’s projections, smartphones will not see market growth in 2011 as strong as it was in 2010.

“Android is poised to take over as the leading smartphone operating system in 2011 after racing into the number 2 position in 2010,” Llamas said. “For the vendors who made Android the cornerstone of their smartphone strategies, 2010 was the coming-out party. This year will see a coronation party as these same vendors broaden and deepen their portfolios to reach more customers, particularly first-time smartphone users.”

Earlier this year, IDC tracking found Apple to be the No. 2 global vendor of smartphones in terms of hardware sales. It found that Apple represented 16.1 percent of the smartphone market, trailing behind only Nokia, which represented an estimated 28 percent of hardware shipments in the fourth quarter of 2010.(source:appleinsider)
