The Chinese vendors highlight the changing shape of the mobile handset market, as the Chinese manufacturing ecosystem, specifically reference designs, enable the next wave of smartphone growth in low cost emerging markets and amongst price conscious consumers everywhere,” said Nick Spencer, senior practice director, mobile devices. “ Chinese vendors already take up five of the top ten places in terms of worldwide market share, despite three of them only really shipping into China. Huawei (6th in worldwide market share for 2013) and ZTE (5th) have already made an impact on the world stage, but other Chinese handset OEMs like Lenovo-the Motorola acquisition is a clear statement of intent-and Xiaomi are set to join them.
