Market Overview:
The global feature phone market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for backup phones and common use phones. North America is expected to lead the global feature phone market in terms of revenue, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific.
Product Definition:
A feature phone is a type of mobile phone that combines features of a traditional landline telephone with features of a modern smartphone. They typically have a more limited functionality than smartphones.
2G:
2G is short for second generation. It is a mobile cellular network technology. 2G technology operates with lower bandwidth than 3G, but has faster response time and less latency than 1st generation (1G) technologies.
2G networks were in service across the world until 2011, when they were replaced by 3GS networks in most of the countries around the world due to technological advances and increased performance capabilities of 3GS systems.
3G:
3G is a third generation of mobile telephony. The term “3G” is used to refer to both 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and Third Generation (TGS) standards for mobile telephony. Both are distinct from 1st and 2nd generation technologies, where 1st generation includes CDMA and GSM, while 2ndgeneration includes WCDMA/HSPA+, TD-LTE & LTE-Advanced.
Application Insights:
The common use segment dominated the global feature phone market in 2017, accounting for more than 60.0% share of the total revenue. The growth can be attributed to growing demand for smartphones among low-income groups and developing countries, such as India and China. In addition, backup use of these phones is also increasing due to which this segment is expected to grow at a steady rate over the forecast period.
The backup use of feature phones mainly occurs in business applications wherein employees require a reliable device with basic functionalities so that they can carry out their daily tasks efficiently from anywhere across the globe without depending on others or having access to critical data stored on corporate servers through laptops and desktops connected directly to company network via Wi-Fi hot spots or VPN connections enabled only for authorized users.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global feature phone market in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the presence of a large number of vendors offering affordable smartphones with basic features. Moreover, increasing demand for 2G and 3G phones is driving regional growth.
Asia Pacific region accounted for over 25% share in 2017 owing to growing penetration rates coupled with rising disposable income levels especially in developing countries such as India.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for low-cost, reliable mobile devices in developing countries
- Proliferation of 4G networks and increasing demand for affordable LTE-enabled feature phones
- Emergence of new form factors, such as foldable displays, that can drive higher demand for feature phones
- Growing popularity of messaging apps and other features that are only available on feature phones
- Increased focus on security and privacy among consumers, which could lead to increased demand for feature phones
