Product Definition:
A mobile operating system (or mobile OS) is an operating system for smartphones, tablets, or other mobile devices. Mobile operating systems are generally divided into two categories: those designed for touchscreens and those designed for use with physical keyboards.
Android:
Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on Linux kernel. It’s an open source software license and primarily used in smartphones and tablets. Android has the ability to run on multiple devices due to its versatility in terms of hardware compatibility.
The major factor responsible for the growth of this OS is its flexibility towards customization as per user requirements which further helps companies to target specific consumer groups with tailored products, thus increasing customer loyalty & reducing product fatigue among consumers.
iOS:
iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc. for its range of consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and watchOS. It is based on the iOS 9 kernel (which was introduced in 2014 with the launch of iPhone 6 and iPad Mini 2) coupled with Mac OS X 10.11 along with some iOS specific features added to it such as Control Center, Camera Roll, Home Screen Pinning etc.
Application Insights:
In 2017, the smartphone segment dominated the global market with a revenue share of over 80%. The segment is expected to retain its dominance over the forecast period. Increasing sales of smartphones has led to an increase in demand for mobile operating systems. As a result, manufacturers are focusing on developing OSes specifically designed for smartphones which will help them compete in this highly saturated market.
The tablet segment is expected to register the highest CAGR exceeding 10% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for tablets across various end-use industries including retail, aviation and hospitality among others. Tablet computers have become increasingly popular as they offer a larger screen size than conventional laptops which helps users consume media content more efficiently resulting in high demand for tablet operating systems across various industries especially in emerging regions such as Asia Pacific and Latin America among others.
Regional Analysis:
The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the global market over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing smartphone penetration and rising demand for smartphones with advanced features. Furthermore, growing investments by companies in developing countries such as India and China are anticipated to boost regional growth over the next eight years. Additionally, favorable government initiatives such as Digital India are also expected to contribute towards increased adoption of operating systems in this region.
North America is projected to witness significant growth from 2018 to 2030 owing its high adoption of mobile operating systems for smartphones and tablets coupled with a large number of application developers across various platforms including iOS, Android, Windows Phone OS etc., Moreover, presence of key players such as Microsoft Corporation; Google LLC; Apple Inc.; Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Development LP; Qualcomm Technologies Inc.; Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.; LG Electronics Inc.; Barnes & Noble NOOK Media LLC; among others will help North America gain considerable market share during the same period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for smartphones and other mobile devices
- Proliferation of low-cost Android handsets
- Rapid adoption of 4G networks worldwide
- Growing demand for mobile apps and services
- Emergence of new platforms (e.g., wearables, the Internet of Things)
