Analysts at IDC have lowered their estimation about the growth of the smartphone market following Chinese market growth.
It was expected the market would grow at 11.3 percent but figure is being revised to just 10.4 percent growth instead.
Chinese market maturing, joining North America and Western Europe is one of the reason of slow growth of the market, IDC analysts recons.
Meanwhile, China’s overall share of the market is expected to drop to 23.1 percent by 2019 as high-growth markets like India expand.
IDC predicts today that it will be Android, not iOS, that continues to hold the top spot when it comes to mobile operating system market share from 2015 to at least 2019.
The firm says that markets with the biggest growth opportunities tend to be price sensitive, which is why Android will retain a 81 percent in 2015 and for several years to come.
even if Apple introduces another lower cost iPhone option – like the rumored iPhone 6C – as many Android OEMs sell phones at price points of $200 or less.
