>>You did not need me to tell you that, I know. However, since IDC just raised its sales forecast for 2010 by a full 10 points, I thought you would like to know.
IDC now expects 269.6 million smartphones to be sold globally this year, up from just 173.5 million last year. The annual growth is estimated to reach 55.4%.
“The smartphone is the catalyst behind the rebound in the worldwide mobile phone market this year,” said Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker. “Additional product introductions and an expected flurry of smartphone buying activity in the second half of the year will push the market well above previous expectations.” For the first half of 2010, vendors shipped a total of 119.4 million units or 55.5% more than the 76.8 million units shipped during the first half of 2009.
