Mobile Operating System Market Share Worldwide
Key Findings
About This Dataset
Mobile Operating System Market Share WorldwideThe global smartphone operating system market is a two-horse race, with Google's Android holding about 72 percent and Apple's iOS about 28 percent. Android's large lead is driven by its use across many manufacturers and a wide range of price points, making it the default choice across most of the developing world and price-sensitive markets. Apple's iOS, confined to Apple's own premium devices, nonetheless captures well over a quarter of all smartphone users and a far larger share of industry profits and app spending. This near-total split between just two platforms, with no meaningful third competitor after the collapse of BlackBerry and Windows Phone, makes mobile computing one of the clearest duopolies in the technology industry.
