Samsung wants to sell 200 million smartphones in 2012

Posted on 08/05/2012 | in Samsung | by

Samsung has set high expectations this year and JK Shin revealed that the company is looking to sell 200 million smartphones this year.  This would increase its global market share to approximately 24%, which would be up from 21.1% last year, MarketWatch reported.

So far this year, the company has sold 44.5 million smartphones during Q1 2012, which has propelled the company past Apple, becoming the top global vendor.

Do you think Samsung will be able to meet their lofty goal?

    I don’t know. That seems to be a pretty lofty goal to me. Although they do make some of the most advanced devices, so who knows.

    If Samsung could maintain it’s current sales rate of 44.5 million phones, as it is stated for the first quater, then they may come close. But due to peaks and troughs in the market place, even with the most savvy of marketing strategies, 200 million could be a rather tall order.
