Samsung outranks Sony Ericsson in cellphones
By Reuters staff

08 February 2002



South Korea's Samsung has overtaken Swedish-Japanese Sony Ericsson as the world's third-largest maker of mobile phones, but still trails far behind Nokia, a Swedish newspaper reported on Friday.

The daily Dagens Industri newspaper, citing its own figures and data from market research group Gartner Dataquest, said Samsung's market share increased to 7.5 percent in 2001 from 5.0 percent in 2000.

Sony Ericsson's market share was 7.3 percent, the paper said, putting Swedish Ericsson's market share for 2000 at 10.0 percent.

Last year Ericsson and Sony merged their mobile phone operations into a 50-50 joint venture, which began operations on October 1.

Finnish Nokia extended its lead as the world's leading mobile phone maker, commanding a 35.6 percent share of the global market in 2001 compared with 30.6 percent the year before, Dagens Industri said.

Its comparison did not mention German Siemens, which according to a November 19 report from Gartner Dataquest had been overtaken by Samsung in the third quarter.
