1/4th of mobile phones expected to be ultra low-cost by 2010
ABI Research addresses Ultra-Low Cost Handset Sales to Explode in Emerging Markets in a new report.
Ultra low-cost phone sales is already straining Nokia and Motorola economically. How will other providers fare in these markets? Better to stay away despite the volumes?
It's not just India and China: Over 50% of these 330 million units will be shipped to the emerging markets of the Asia Pacific region, with the remainder spread amongst markets like Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.
Quote: other manufacturers like LG, Samsung, Philips, Haier, and Kyocera have also started to introduce handsets for this segment.
Not Sony Ericsson?
