OS MARKET SHARE 2015 ANDROID
With the change in the price of WP devices, and the multivendor strategic approach of Microsoft, the main advantage of Android – scale – may be removed.Īnd although Nokia has suffered a significant loss from dragging out the Symbian story for too long, it’s Nokia we are talking about: They are big enough and strong enough to take on a couple of painful hits and come out of the struggle stronger than ever. It’s also worth mentioning that, apart from Nokia, quite a few other large handsets vendors in the world, such as Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson are still placing their bets on WP. Nokia knows it and Microsoft knows it, and I am sure they will act on it quickly. Lower price of the devices will be the crucial prerequisite for the expansion of WP models. Some of the main obstacles to the growth of WP to date will be removed, as Nokia helps with bringing down the price of WP smartphones.

Pyramid Research announced that Windows Phone’s market share would edge past Android’s, with almost 40% of the smartphone market. Here’s the graph they published, with a vertical line I added to make it easier to read the current market share: On May 9th, 2011 - almost a year ago to the day - came the most unbelievable of the Windows Phone predictions.
Pyramid Research’s Totally Crazy-Ass Prediction: Number One in Market Share by 2015, with Nearly 40% Although this is an honorable performance it is considerably less than what Symbian had achieve in the past underlying the upward battle that Nokia has to face. Gartner has revised its forecast of Windows Phone’s market share upward, solely by virtue of Microsoft’s alliance with Nokia. Gartner predicts that Nokia will push Windows Phone well into the mid-tier of its portfolio by the end of 2012, driving the platform to be the third largest in the worldwide ranking by 2013. By 2015, IDC expects Windows Phone to be number 2 operating system worldwide behind Android.” Gartner’s Prediction: Almost 6% in 2011, 11% in 2012, 20% by 2015Ī few days later, Gartner published a press release making a similar prediction: Windows Phone would claim about a fifth of the smartphone market by the end of 2015. We expect the first devices to launch in 2012. “The new alliance brings together Nokia’s hardware capabilities and Windows Phone’s differentiated platform. “Up until the launch of Windows Phone 7 last year, Microsoft has steadily lost market share while other operating systems have brought forth new and appealing experiences,” added Llamas. Nokia’s recent announcement to shift from Symbian to Windows Phone will have significant implications for the smartphone market going forward. Near the end of March 2011, IDC forecasted in their Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker report that by 2015, Windows Phone 7 would have leapfrogged past BlackBerry and iOS to claim the number two spot, with almost 21% market share: Operating System IDC’s Prediction: Almost 6% Market Share in 2011, 21% by 2015
