According to the International
Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, the
Android platform just crossed 80% marketshare in the third quarter of
2013. With 211.6 million smartphones shipped in this quarter, Android
continues to maintain its dominant position in the market, this time
reaching an all time high with a 51.3% growth over last year. Samsung
singlehandedly contributed to almost 40% of the total shipments this
quarter.
Android is not the only platform doing well. Although not quite there
yet in terms of total marketshare, Microsoft's Windows Phone platform
grew by 156% year-over-year, reaching 3.6% marketshare in the third
quarter in terms of shipment. Nokia alone contributed to 93.2% of the
total shipments.
iOS also continued it's slower but continued growth, with a 12.9% marketshare that is 25.6% over last year.
One thing to remember that these numbers only take into account shipments and not actual devices sold or actually being used, which could paint a different picture.
