“HTC isn't like troubled handset giant Nokia Corp or BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd, which have failed for years to come up with a robust competitor to the iPhone. HTC still makes a profit and regularly rolls out new smartphones. But the company is getting squeezed by Apple and Samsung. Those bigger companies have used their speed and scale to dominate the industry through heavy distribution and marketing of new models, while cutting prices on older high-end devices. Sanford Bernstein analyst Pierre Ferragu estimates that Samsung spends about six times more than HTC supporting its sales, while Apple spent nearly four times as much as the Taiwanese company.
“HTC's share of the global smartphone market peaked in the second quarter of 2011, reaching 10.7%, according to IDC. Now, its share of the business stands at just 5.9%.
My comment: The online version said “5.9%” but the print had “2.9%” in both text and a bar chart (which was removed in the Web version). See “Corrections & Amplifications” at the bottom of the online text.
