Summary
The global smartphone market has slowed from its
boom years to a more modest but still significant
growth. With mature markets becoming increasingly
dependent on replacement purchases rather than on
first-time buyers, the industry is shifting its
attention to emerging countries in Asia, Latin
America, and Africa, where much of the population
either does not own a mobile phone or has yet to
move from feature phone to smartphone. Although
Samsung and Apple remain the leading smartphone
suppliers globally, their market share is being
eroded by lower-priced phones from China. Moving
beyond their vast domestic market, several
Chinese brands are expanding internationally,
especially to India and southern Asia.

In 2014, Beijing-based Xiaomi became the rising
star among smartphone vendors, overtaking Lenovo,
Huawei, Coolpad, and even Samsung to become
China's smartphone market leader. Xiaomi phones
come with a pre-installed MIUI operating system
an Android interface that allows advanced users
to customise it and invent new features. Android
continues to increase its share of the operating
system market. Low-cost Android smartphones are
expected to drive much of the smartphone growth
in coming years, particularly in emerging
countries such as China, India, and Brazil. A
major threat to the smartphone business arises
from the limitations of the mobile broadband
infrastructure. The mobile industry can develop
all of these new applications and services, but
if the infrastructure cannot handle the capacity,
there will be little use for them.
