And smartphones made up 55 percent of the total mobile phone shipments of 1.8 billion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The sheer volume and strong growth attest to the smartphone&#8217;s continued popularity in 2013,&#8221; says Ramon Llamas, an IDC analyst.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Total smartphone shipments reached 494.4 million units worldwide in 2011, and doubling that volume in just two years demonstrates strong end-user demand and vendor strategies to highlight smartphones.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>South Korea&#8217;s Samsung saw growth of 42.9 percent, allowing it to extend its dominance in the global market, the IDC figures showed.<\/p>\n<p>Apple saw 12.9 percent growth, slower than the overall market, resulting in a declining market share.<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s Huawei narrowly captured the number three spot with a 4.9 percent market share, ahead of South Korea&#8217;s LG (4.8 percent) and Chinese maker Lenovo (4.5 percent), IDC said.<\/p>\n<p>Data from the fourth quarter showed Apple rebounding slightly with the release of its new iPhone models, and capturing 17.9 percent of sales to Samsung&#8217;s 28.8 percent.<\/p>\n<p>A separate survey out Monday showed that the Android smartphone platform has extended its lead over Apple&#8217;s iPhone in key markets including the United States, Europe and China.<\/p>\n<p>Windows Phone, meanwhile, has made inroads to secure a strong third place showing in some markets, and is ahead of Apple in Italy, according to the survey of fourth quarter sales released by Kantar Worldpanel.<\/p>\n<p>The survey showed that Android, the free operating system from Google, remained on top in Europe and most other major markets outside Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Android ended 2013 as the top platform across the five major markets in Europe with 68.6 percent share, while Apple held second place with 18.5 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Windows Phone showed strong year-on-year growth, and in Italy captured 17.1 percent of the market, ahead of Apple&#8217;s 12.8 percent, but behind Android&#8217;s 66.2 percent, according to the survey.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, the survey showed Android&#8217;s share rising more than four percentage points over the past year to 50.6 percent, while Apple&#8217;s share declined to 43.9 percent.<\/p>\n<p>In Japan, Apple held 68.7 percent of smartphone sales.<\/p>\n<p>In China, Android&#8217;s share increased to 78.6 percent while Apple&#8217;s declined to 19 percent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Android finished 2013 strongly, showing year-on-year share growth across 12 major global markets including Europe, USA, Latin America, China and Japan,&#8221; said Kantar&#8217;s Dominic Sunnebo.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Windows Phone has now held double-digit share across Europe for three consecutive months,&#8221; Sunnebo said.<\/p>\n<p>But &#8220;unfortunately for Nokia the European smartphone market is only growing at three percent year-on-year so success in this market has not been enough to turn around its fortunes &#8212; reflected in its recent disappointing results.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, Jan 28 &#8211; The smartphone market hit a milestone in 2013 with more than a billion shipped, a survey showed Monday.
