Research from financial firm Credit Suisse claims smartphone shipments will cross the 1.05 billion milestone in just two years, according to Reuters. (http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/12/us-smartphonemakers-research-creditsuiss-idUSBRE83B0LS20120412?feedType=RSS&feedName=technologyNews&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reuters%2FtechnologyNews+%28R euters+Technology+News%29)
The result will be up from 687.9 million shipments this year, which is a 46 per cent increase on 2011.
China is said to be the key driver behind the increase, while cheaper devices are introduced into emerging and developed markets.
Kulbinder Garcha, analyst, said: "We see robust growth for the smartphone market in China, which we think will account for 22 percent of global units by 2015."
Apple is expected to dominate with a 23 per cent market share, while Nokia is expected to secure 11 per cent of the market by fighting back to recovery in 2013 due to pricing and distribution strategies.
