Top mobile phone sellers unveiled
( 2003-08-01 13:26) (eastday.com)
Nokia, Motorola, Bird, TCL and Siemens have ranked the top five mobile phone
sellers in 皇冠体育app in the first half of this year, today's South Daily reported.
During this period, 皇冠体育app has output 82 million handsets (including GSM, GPRS
and CDMA phones) and sold 80 million, the same report said citing data from the
Ministry of Information Industry, 皇冠体育app's authority of the telecom sector.
Of the phones sold, nearly half, or 37 million, were exported to other
countries and areas.
With the market enlarging, competition in the country's mobile phone sector
has been stiffer as a result of the rising manufacturers and output, analysts
said.
By the end of last year, 37 domestic phone makers were competing in 皇冠体育app
with a yearly output capacity totaling 200 million units, while the domestic
demand remained at 60 million.
皇冠体育app's lack of core technologies in handset manufacturing and its high
reliance on overseas technologies have also set an obstacle for development of
the domestic phone makers, analysts pointed out.
They advised the Chinese manufacturers to turn to overseas market for export
to boost sales.
