China Smartphone Market is Growing

Business information company Analysys International says that China's smartphone market will continue growing in the coming years and reach 20 million sets in 2008. The firm's data show that the smartphone market had an annual growth rate of 221 percent in 2004 and an annual growth rate of 207 percent in 2005.

Smartphone shipments are expected to reach 7 million sets by the end of 2005. According to Analysys International's further research regarding the growth rate and industry trends, the market will continue growing and the shipment will reach 20 million sets in 2008. Analysys says that this shows China's smart phone is a promising market full of business opportunities.

Analysys International thinks that the features of the major four operating systems and seven platforms are key factors to determine the market growth rate and market share in China's smartphone market. Among which, the convenience and speed of the OS, the high integration, low power and low cost per unit of chip set in smartphone platform will be premier contributors to smart phone performance and market share.

"The relatively short lifecycle of smartphones requires that the designing period of smart phone should also be shortened," said Fu Xinghua, analyst from Analysys International. "Multi-SOC (System on Chip) should be adopted to optimize the design and SIP (Silicon In Package) should be used to improve the efficiency of IC."

He added that "Efficiency on design, manufacturing and packing will determine the chip performance and launching time of product to enter the market and thus has a critical influence on the market share."

How WLAN Transforms Industrial Automation

The industrial sector is on the eve of a wireless transformation, driven by an urgent demand for greater network capacity, reliability, and deterministic performance. Historically, manufacturers and mission-critical operations have relied on wired networks — favoring their predictability — because spectrum congestion in legacy 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands limited confidence in wireless for operational technology (OT) environments. However, with the introduction and rapid adoption of the 6GHz spectrum, compounded by significant advances in Wi-Fi standards, industrial facilities are now poised to embrace wireless LANs as the backbone for automation and digital innovation. Industrial WLAN Market Development Recent research from ABI Research forecasts that over 70 percent of industrial-grade wireless LAN access points (WLAN APs) shipped in 2030 will support the 6GHz band. This is a leap from 2 percent in 2023, highlighting a rapid and profound technological shift. The market for ruggedized indust...
