Smartphone Apps Processor Revenue Jumped an Impressive 44 Percent in Q2 2013
MediaTek over-takes Samsung to grab third spot
Boston, MA - October 16, 2013 – The global smartphone applications processor market continued to show strength and grew 44 percent year-on-year to reach $4.4 billion in Q2 2013, according to the Strategy Analytics Handset Component Technologies service report, “Smartphone Apps Processor Market Share Q2 2013: Qualcomm Captures 53 Percent Revenue Share.”
According to this Strategy Analytics report, Qualcomm, Apple, MediaTek, Samsung and Spreadtrum captured the top-five revenue share spots in the smartphone processor market in Q2 2013. Qualcomm maintained its dominance in the smartphone applications processor market with 53 percent revenue share followed by Apple with 15 percent share and MediaTek with 11 percent share in Q2 2013.
According to Sravan Kundojjala, Senior Analyst, “Strategy Analytics estimates that low-cost suppliers MediaTek and Spreadtrum together captured over one-third volume share in the smartphone applications processor market in Q2 2013, thanks to the smartphone boom in emerging markets. MediaTek and Spreadtrum’s improving global footprint coupled with their maturing product portfolio could spell a threat to global players such as Qualcomm, Broadcom, NVIDIA and Intel.”
According to Stuart Robinson, Director of the Strategy Analytics Handset Component Technologies service, “Qualcomm maintained its dominance in the smartphone applications processor market helped by its LTE leadership. After a successful run with its Snapdragon 600 family of chips in the first half of 2013, Qualcomm is well-positioned to repeat it in the second half with its flagship Snapdragon 800 family of chips.”
