Under the forecast made by Telecom Trends International mobile phone shipments will double during the next 7 years. The shipments will grow from 815.2 million units sold in 2005 to 1694.4 million phones in 2012. The growth rate of shipments to the developing markets of Middle and Near East, Africa, China, Asia-Pacific and Latin America will be higher than double. At the same time the markets with high penetration level of mobile communication (Europe, North America and Japan) will have a slowdown.
The sales growth will be sped up by the demand for multi-function and specialized devices. From the view of shipments volume UMTS will be the fastest developing technology. Next generation networks will lead to the plenty of applications and thus speed up the introduction of new functions to mobile phones. Following the fast growth of applications number the voice communication will become a secondary thing for the buyer of a mobile device.
