Apple «sucks all the juice" of the mobile industry

The mobile phone market is increasingly feeling the impact of Apple. American Corporation of Cupertino with a very small market share gets more than half of all the profits in the industry.

A year ago, according to statistics, iPhone manufacturer owned just 3% of the market of mobile phones, but the company has received 39% of total profits of 100%, which generally helps the industry. Since then, the imbalance will only increase. At the time of expiry of the first quarter of 2011, a representative of the analytical company Asymco Didier Horace (Horace Dediu) reported that Apple owns 5% of the market with a share of the profits from it in 55%.

Now I come to an end and the second quarter of this year. The market at the moment are the eight largest and best-known manufacturers of mobile phones. Regarding Apple's success, when sales figures of 5.6% of the total sales volumes on the market of mobile phone company gets two-thirds of all revenue in this market. It is important to bear in mind that we are talking about sales absolutely all mobile phones, not just smartphones, and around the world, not just in the United States.

It begins to seem that competition with Apple losing its relevance, and at least some expediency. According to Didier, four of these eight manufacturers of mobile phones, Nokia, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson and the LG, even suffered losses in the last quarter.

Samsung also received 15% of profits in this market from the total 100% (compared to 21% two years ago). Despite the fact that sales of phones of this brand are growing year by an average of 520% ​​on the year. The market share of American Research in Motion, has not changed and remains at 11%. Finally, HTC profits rose from 6% in the first quarter to 7.4% in the second. Let me remind you that today is the most active of the producers working with Android OS as a platform for their mobile products.
