Sensor sales reveal smartphone trends
 

Samsung is being squeezed by competition from Apple at the high end and competition from Chinese manufacturers at the low end.

That’s the conclusion of IHS Technology. The market research company has assessed sales of smartphone sensors and thinks that although Samsung and Apple continue to be the dominant consumers of sensors for smartphones, they are both set for declines between now and 2019.

Samsung currently has a market share of 23 percent but that will fall to 15 percent by 2019. Meanwhile Apple currently takes 47 percent of smartphone sensors but that will fall to 34 percent over the next four years.
