Combined shipment volume of Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and LG in the third quarter reached 87.4 million units in the third quarter, up 7.3 percent over the previous quarter. However, their combined share of the Chinese industry's shipment fell to 52 percent, down from 54.1 percent, due to the strong performance of Taiwanese makers.

Among the five leading brands, Sony Ericsson and LG enjoyed the highest growth, with 16 percent and 18.5 percent respectively. These two makers continued to expand their production scale in China. Growth rates of Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung were limited to single digits in the third quarter, with 7.8 percent, 2.5 percent, and 0.5 percent, respectively.

Regarding Chinese makers, ZTE not only consolidated its status as the largest Chinese mobile phone manufacturer, it also became the first Chinese maker to have a quarterly shipment of more than 4 million, with third-quarter shipment reaching 4.1 million units. Further, Huawei, TCL, Bird, and Tianyu all had shipment volumes exceeding three million units in the third quarter.

Among the top 20 manufacturers in the Chinese mobile phone industry, Chinese makers account for 10 of them. Combined shipment volume of these 10 makers grew from 23.5 million units in second quarter to 26.6 million units in the third quarter of 2007.
