Digitimes Research: Smartphone Sales to Reach 329 million Units in China in 2013

According to a Digitimes study, the smartphone market in China is set to grow 67 percent year-over-year in 2013.
“There will be 329 million smartphones sold in the China market in 2013, hiking 67.0% from 2012 due to large growth in the total number of 3G subscribers, while sales of feature phones will drop 39.9% to 146 million units,” James Wang reports. “The 2013 sales of smartphones will consist of 110 million TD-SCDMA models, increasing 155.8% from 2012, 77 million WCDMA models, up 45.3%, 67 million CDMA models, up 59.5% and 75 million EDGE models, up 27.1%.”

The study also highlighted that the average production cost of entry-level smartphones will decrease from US$35 in the fourth quarter of 2012, to US$31 in the first quarter of 2013.

This huge growth in China will bode well for Apple, who is looking at China and China Mobile in particular,  to spur growth in the iPhone sales.
