93% market penetration of mobile devices

The world’s population today has exceeded 7 billion and there are 6.5 billion mobile phones. This means 93% market penetration! In the U.S. alone, there are 185 million smartphone and 147 million tablet users, according to a 2017 survey. An average person owns 2.9 mobile devices, 85% of which are smartphones. Due to the increasing prevalence of mobile devices, more and more people are also looking for service services.

Mobile service is a still untapped, growing market

Our interconnected society is increasingly dependent on reliable mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices. These tools are already expensive enough to be easily replaced by users at any time, so they are increasingly looking for cost-effective repair solutions. Therefore, the mobile service industry has achieved outstanding growth over the past five years:

It generated revenue of $ 1.4 billion
4.9% annual growth
Estimated annual industry revenue 10.9%

The mobile service market in numbers

91% of smartphone owners keep their device with them at all times
30% of smartphone owners have accidentally violated their device in the past year
17% of smartphone owners have repeatedly violated their phone
Accidental damage to mobile devices is 10 times more likely than loss or theft
Europeans spent an average of € 74.6 to repair their damaged phone
50% of college students caused damage to their smartphones

Smartphones currently account for more than two-thirds of mobile phone sales and half of all mobile phone users already have a smartphone. The remarkably fast market adoption of smartphones has necessitated the need for mobile phone repair shops to keep pace with this growing market.
