The surge in smartphone sales will help the overall mobile market rebound this year with a 14.1% gain after a decline of 2.8% in 2009. The outlook for 2011 is also bullish. Despite continued economic uncertainty, smartphone sales are expected to increase 24.5% next year. Growth, however, will tail off progressively over the course of IDC's five-year forecast, with the market predicted to rise only 13.6% in 2014.
