2.5G, A Chance for Handset Market Reshuffle Oct 29 2002 CHINA, (SinoCast via COMTEX) -- With the competition between China Mobile and China Unicom, the two largest mobile communication operators in China, growing fierce, another competition also comes on the stage secretly. Korean and Japanese handsets began to impact the market share of American and European manufacturers. 2.5G will perhaps change the market position of China Mobile and China Unicom, and will also be a good opportunity for Korean and Japanese handset manufacturers to break through the predomination of American and European manufacturers in Chinese market. Currently, apart from Motorola, Korean handset makers predominate Chinese market. China Unicom's CDMA1X network is speeded up by the funds raised from A-share market. After China Unicom purchased 700000 handsets from Samsung, the company will also purchase one million camera handsets from SKT. According to the statistics of In-Stat, the global CDMA market volume will reach up to 22.5 billion USD in 2002, Samsung and LG are predicted to occupy 35%-40% of the total market share. Samsung forecasted that it would sell 6-7 million CDMA handsets domestically, and export 13-14 million CDMA handsets in 2002. LG expected that it would sell 4.3 million CDMA handsets domestically and export 6.5-7 million handsets. The two companies both regarded Chinese market as the main destination to fulfill their sales target. In addition, Korean and Japanese handset makers also did well in GSM sector. Working along the two lines of GSM and CDMA by Korean and Japanese manufacturers will engender great menace to American and European handset manufacturers. With the technologies and standards opening gradually, Korean and Japanese manufacturers will gain more flexibility and advantages in the consumable sector. thefeature.com
