Mobile operators across Europe are selling fewer handsets overall, yet their share of the phone market is growing as the budget segment collapses. Contract purchases are holding up better than independent retail sales, and Apple has overtaken Samsung in the carrier channel. The shift suggests consumers are favouring subsidised contract deals over outright budget devices amid tighter spending.
Why now: Apple overtaking Samsung in the carrier channel and the squeeze on budget phones are notable shifts for the European telecoms and handset market.
