About this market study

The purpose of this new handbook is to provide a snapshot of where the mobile and wireless industry was in 2003 and where it might be going in 2004, showing current cellular subscriber levels in 50 key countries, growth in those markets throughout 2003, and forecast growth in the years 2004-2008 inclusive. This data is supplemented with additional information such as penetration levels, listings of network operators and much more. We have also highlighted 3G network growth as separately presented data, showing predicted "3G for 2G" replacement levels in key markets. For this handbook we also interviewed all the major handset vendors and have summarised 2003 shipments and some details of individual handsets that have sold well in Q3 and Q4 of 2003.
