Nokia has clarified its share in the global mobile phones market according to results of 2009: 34%, not 38% as it had thought before, and this year it is unlikely to grow. This is stated in a report filed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange.
The new evaluation was possible through the use of more rigorous methods of measuring the volume of deliveries. In particular, the activities of new small players and the illegal distribution channels were taken into account, on which Asian manufacturers of counterfeit are mostly oriented. The figures seem to be small, but considered together they significantly alter the picture.
In spite of it, the estimation of the total amount of devices shipped in 2009 is reduced: 1.14 billion units instead of 1.26 billion.
Though Nokia is not waiting to increase the number of handsets sold for 2010, the value of sales should increase slightly as compared with last year. However, the company did not give accurate measures this time.
Nokia also upheld its previous forecast regarding the growth in the global market – 10%.
