Smartphone sales data have arrived from Kantar WorldPanel Comtech, and the good news continues for Android phones. The Android operating system accounted for 65 percent of sales in the nine most influential markets (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, USA, Australia, China, Mexico) in the quarter that ended in July.
Apple’s got great market share in the US with 43 percent, but its market share is low in other important markets such as Spain with only 6 percent. The pending introduction of a lower-priced iPhone (if the rumors are true) would certainly help this situation.
Meanwhile, Windows Phone continues to grow share across most markets, growing to 3.5 percent of sales in the US and 8.2 percent of sales in Europe. Lastly, Blackberry continues to shrink, dropping to a mere 2.4 percent of sales across the Big Five markets in Europe and just 1.2 percent of sales in the US.
