Summary:

The smartphone market might be mature enough to exhibit seasonal trends, according to one analyst.

This might be the first quarter in two years to see a decline in worldwide smartphone shipments, according to TrendForce (and spotted by Re/code). That shouldn’t be cause for alarm for smartphone OEMs around the world, though. It just means the smartphone market might have matured enough to follow seasonal trends.



Also notable in the study is a look at TrendForce’s data for smartphone market share in 2013. The chart above shows that Samsung captured the majority of the market, at 30 percent worldwide, while Apple came in second, at 19 percent.
