Market Overview:
The global smartphone operating system market is expected to grow at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for smartphones and the growing trend of using smartphones for commercial and government applications. In terms of type, the global smartphone operating system market is segmented into open source and closed source. Closed source dominates the global smartphone operating system market, followed by open source. Closed source systems are more popular among commercial users as they offer better security features than open source systems. However, open source systems are gaining traction among government users due to their low cost and customizability options. In terms of application, the global smartphone operating system market is segmented into commercial and government applications.
Product Definition:
A smartphone operating system (OS) is the software that runs on a smartphone. It allows users to interact with their phones, as well as run apps and access other features. Smartphone operating systems are typically based on either Android, iOS or Windows 10 Mobile.
Open Source:
Open source is a development model in which the software code is released in the public domain for people to use and develop applications & programs that are similar or compatible with the original purpose. The main motive of releasing software under open source license is so that it can be used by any developer or company to modify and improve upon its design as per their requirements without having to pay an additional fee for using the original work.
Closed Source:
Closed source is a term used in the industry for design and development of any software or application. It includes operating system (OS) as well as applications. In smartphone OS market, closed source components are those parts of the operating system that are not accessible to other device manufacturers or third-party developers. These include drivers for hardware components such as cameras, microphones, etc., along with various sensors and actuators present in smartphones.
Application Insights:
The commercial application segment dominated the global smartphone OS market in 2017. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing use of smartphones in various sectors such as retail, transportation, banking and financial services, healthcare, media and entertainment among others. Furthermore, many companies are opting for customized operating systems on their smart devices to enhance user experience while providing enhanced security features along with a better interface for applications development that is driving the demand further.
Government application is expected to be one of the fastest-growing segments over the forecast period owing to growing usage of smartphones by public safety agencies and other government institutions such as local authorities and state governments for carrying out essential functions efficiently thereby promoting technological adoption across various sectors.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global smartphone OS market in 2017. The growth of smartphones and mobile internet usage in the region is attributed to a large extent by open source operating system. Furthermore, increased competition among prominent players such as Google LLC, Apple Inc., and Microsoft Corporation for gaining maximum user base is also expected to drive innovation and development of smart phone OSes over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to emerge as a lucrative regional market over the next eight years owing to increasing adoption of smartphones along with rising demand for advanced features such as multi-tasking, improved battery life, enhanced performance speed etcetera. In addition, growing popularity of social media has led users down an unhealthy path that involves constant online engagement which drains battery life quickly; this factor will further boost demand for efficient operating system solutions in APAC region thereby driving industry growth over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for smartphones: The global smartphone market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 14% during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for smartphones across the world.
- Rising adoption of 4G technology: The widespread adoption of 4G technology is another major factor driving the growth of the global smartphone operating system market. 4G networks offer high-speed data connectivity, which has led to an increase in demand for smartphones that are compatible with 4G networks.
- Proliferation of low-cost Android smartphones: Android dominates the global smartphone operating system market, owing to its low cost and wide range of applications and features. Moreover, a large number of Chinese vendors are offering low-cost Android smartphones, which is contributing to the growth of this segment in the global smartphone operating system market.
