The Android share of the mobile market continues to go from strength to strength. At the start of 2010 Android accounted for 5% of total European sales and by the end of the year this had more than quadrupled to represent over 25% of all smartphones sold.
This extraordinary rate of growth has also occurred in other regions. In Asia, Android‘s market share rose from 3% in Q1 2010 to 31% by Q4 2010 while in the LATAM region the share increased from 4% to stand at 22% during the same period.
"With the smartphone market becoming increasingly competitive, the potential impact of new tablet propositions and a growing number of applications, Android looks well placed to maintain market share for the coming months," commented Aaron Rattue, GfK's Global Telco Marketing Director.
