BlackBerry regains market share in Canada - ITespresso.es - ITespresso.es

Canadian BlackBerry manufacturer has managed to recover some of the lost market share in their home country . The market share of the company in Canada stood at 13.5% in the first quarter of the year, reports CNET.

In a note sent to investors, Tavis McCourt, an analyst at Raymond James, said that while the BlackBerry market share was only 6% in Canada in the fourth quarter of 2012, rose to 13.5% in the first quarter of 2013 . The analyst believes that the expectations that arose around the latest handsets from BlackBerry, the Z10 and Q10, what helped to drive change.

Combined sales for Canada and the United States touchscreen model Z10 were of one million units. Recall that the Z10 was launched in the U.S. two months later than in its northern neighbor, where he arrived in early February. The more traditional Q10, launched earlier this month in Canada, is working well, although there are no sales data.

Still, BlackBerry is still very far from being the leading manufacturer once was. According to McCourt, BlackBerry had a market share of 21.8% in the first quarter of 2011, ie, has lost 8.3% in just two years.

In any case, despite this slight recovery, BlackBerry is not able to lose sleep to Apple and Samsung in Canada. The first point topped the 40.1% market share in the first quarter, while Samsung achieved 29.8%.
