Analysis of the Status Quo and Future Development of Global Mobile Communication Equipment Market

With the advancement of modern microelectronics technology and the continuous promotion of market demand, mobile communication technology has experienced rapid development in the past 30 years. Mobile communications technology has achieved rapid development of 1G, 2G, and 3G, and is now accelerating toward 3G+ and 4G. Mobile communication technology will develop toward high speed, miniaturization, and intelligence.

The increase in the number of mobile phone users and the emergence of new services have led operators to increase investment in mobile communications equipment, which has kept the global mobile communications equipment market growing. In 2008, the global mobile communications market reached 51.37 billion U.S. dollars. However, due to the financial crisis, telecom operators in developed countries in Europe and America slowed down 3G construction, and investment in network infrastructures in emerging markets such as India, South Asia, and Africa slowed. In 2009, China issued 3G licenses and vigorously developed 3G networks. In 2010, the scale of global telecommunication operators' mobile communication equipment market will continue to grow, with an increase rate lower than in 2008, and the market size will reach US$55.02 billion and US$58.04 billion, respectively. After 2010, operators of developed countries will invest in data-based 3G technology upgrades and voice-based 2G/2.5G network coverage in developing countries will increase. By 2012, the global mobile communications equipment market will increase. The scale will reach 71.02 billion U.S. dollars. The global mobile communications equipment market industry continues to expand, creating a broad space for development for industry players. According to the data from China Information Industry Network, the scale of the global mobile communication equipment market in 2008-2013 is as follows:
