Western Europe Business-Use Smartphone Forecast, 2022–2027

Western Europe Business-Use Smartphone Forecast, 2022–2027

This IDC Market Forecast presents a five-year forecast for Western European shipments of B2B smartphones by operating system, user type (consumer and commercial), and generation (3G, 4G, and 5G). It is part of IDC's ongoing research tracking mobile devices."The Russia-Ukraine War has impeded the economic recovery of Western Europe. Economic sanctions, increased commodity prices, and disruptions in supply chains have elevated inflation and lowered consumer confidence. However, with the ongoing pace of digital transformation, the B2B segment is projected to continue growing in the medium to long term. Organizations that had previously invested in laptops, tablets, and monitors during the COVID-19 crisis are now expected to put a greater emphasis on smartphones in their corporate device portfolios. Companies will prioritize OS customization and device security to achieve greater efficiencies." — Senior Research Manager Zdenek Krouzel, Mobile Devices, IDC Europe
