SEOUL, KOREA - China will become the world’s largest 4G smartphone market in the near future, predicted by U.S. market research firm Strategy Analytics. The number of smartphones sold in China last year totaled 354 million units. This figure is expected to rise to about 400 million units this year.

Strategy Analytics expected the sales of LTE phones in China to reach 135 million units this year, accounting for 34 percent in total smartphone sales there.In other words, three or four out of ten smartphones will be replaced by the latest LTE smartphones.

The rapid expansion of China’s LTE market is expected to bring new opportunities for global companies like Samsung and LG. Samsung Electronics, for example, sold about 100 million smartphones in China last year, ranking No. 1 in terms of market share there.

China’s LTE smartphone market opened in December 2013. The LTE market, which was launched three months ago and accounted for a share of only 6 percent in total smartphone market there, is expected to grow 547 percent this year.
