The recovery will continue in 2025 with 2.3% growth expected, followed by low single-digit growth until 2028, resulting in a CAGR of 2.3% in 2004-8.
“This year the majority of the growth will be driven by Android, which is expected to grow significantly faster at 4.8% compared to 0.7% for iOS,” says IDC’sc Nabila Popal.
‘With 5G saturation in most developed markets, the growth of 5G in emerging markets will play a central role in driving shipments throughout the forecast period,” says IDC’s Anthony Scarsella.
