Description
Mobile phone sales since 2000 have been less than stellar. In fact, there was actually a significant decline in handset sales in 2001 - the first time this had occurred. The past few years have shown observers that selling handsets is much more complicated than just putting devices on shelves. In fact, many variables such as churn, new networks, economics and unexpected events can greatly affect sales. Fortunately for handset manufacturers and carriers, new devices with fresh designs and features have continued to spur replacement. Mobile handset sales in 2005 increased significantly to over 800 million units, driven by subscriber growth in the developing markets and the increased handset replacement rate in mature markets.

This market study examines worldwide wireless and mobile handset sales. Detailed forecasts which give information on overall sales, sales by region, and sales by technology are provided.
