re: A REAL aggressive Handset Forecast

>> One Billion Cellular Handsets Are To Be Shipped Yearly By 2004

GSMBOX
January 31, 2000

According to a market report carried out by Intex Management Services (IMS), the wireless communication market specialist, the number of cellular handsets shipped in a year is expected to exceed the I billion mark in 2004 and 1.34 billion in 2006 just in comparison to an estimated market of 288 million terminal shipments in 1999.

In 2006 it is forecast that there will be 1.79 billion users of cellular services worldwide.

Alex Green, a senior analyst for IMS and one of the report's authors, says that by 2006, increases in users in developed countries is forecast to have started to peak. However, take up of cellular in less-developed countries, such as China, and regular handset replacements by users worldwide will mean that the market for cellular terminals will continue to experience significant growth.

Over the period from 1999 to 2006 there will be a considerable change in the make-up of the types of cellular handsets that are sold. Approximately 95 percent of terminals shipped in 1999 complied to second-generation (2G) standards with the rest being similar and it is estimated that 56 percent of handsets shipped will comply with 2.5G or third-generation (3G) standards. <<
