Android continues to boost its global market share, according to a new study from Kantar WorldPanel.
“The firm’s latest research showed that Android picked up strong market share gains in most of the seven major nations around the world, including the United States, Australia, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The gains were measured over a 12-week period up until mid April,” reports CNET.
In both Spain and Germany, Android more than doubled its market share to 72 percent and 62 percent, respectively.
According to Kantar WorldPanel, the increases can be attributed to new smartphones from Samsung and HTC, which continue to draw market share away from RIM and Nokia.
“Android’s U.S. market share jumped to 61 percent last quarter, up from 49 percent during the holiday quarter, according to NPD. At the same time, Apple’s iOS lost ground, dropping to 29 percent from 41 percent during 2011’s fourth quarter,” indicates the post.
