The smartphone market is expected to generate an estimated $219 billion in 2012 according to recent Bloomberg Industries data. Gartner Inc., a technology research firm, forecasts global smartphone shipments are expected to total 655 million in 2012, more than double 2010's total of 299 million. In comparison, over the same period the PC market grew only 5 percent to 368 million units.
Apple's highly anticipated release of their iPhone 5 later this year should also provide a great boost for the company's chip suppliers. "We believe the iPhone 5 will represent the biggest consumer-electronics product launch of 2012 as well as the biggest device-upgrade cycle in smartphone history," Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster recently wrote.
