Combining 96.4% of the smartphone market, Android and iOS leave little more than a few crumbs in a competition that has to fight for scrounge. This is the case for Windows Phone, whose market share is steadily declining, reports the latest IDC study on the second quarter. The Microsoft OS now accounts for only 2.5% of the market, against 3.4% in the same quarter of 2013 to 0.5% BlackBerry stumbles, losing 2.3 percentage points year on year.
Microsoft, which now hands the destinies of families Lumia Nokia plans to launch more models in the coming weeks, while qu’HTC has in his files a promising One (M8) on Windows Phone. In Redmond, we must hope that this activity will have a positive impact on sales volume. If the market as a whole grew by 25.3%, the growth of Windows Phone sales declined 9.4%.
There remains little more than two competitors in the race to namely Android and iOS. The first is still winning market share (33.3%) year on year with a score of 84.7%. As for iOS, the 35.2 million iPhones sold in the second quarter to allow Apple to post 12.7% growth in sales, but with a market share drop to 11.7% (it was 13% there one year). The launch of the new iPhone 6 in September should enable Apple to beat resist.
