Android continues to be the undisputed market leader in mobile operating systems - HarmonyOS already has a 2% share
Strategy Analytics analysts have shared statistics on the distribution of mobile operating systems in 2022 and made a forecast for 2027.
Here's What We Know
The Android operating system is still the unshakable leader. Its share is 81%. That's 12% more than in 2012, but 5% less than in 2017. Five years from now, the green robot is projected to control 83% of the market.
In second place now is iOS with a share of 18%. Five years ago, the market was divided between the operating systems of Google and Apple, but now, thanks to Huawei, it has managed to form the top three. After the sanctions imposed in 2019, the Chinese manufacturer decided to develop its own operating system. It is called HarmonyOS or HongMengOS (in China) and now has a share of 2%.
Analysts believe that the share of iOS will decrease by 1% within five years, but they see no future for HarmonyOS at all. It is a bit strange, because the number of HarmonyOS users is constantly growing. According to Huawei, the number of devices based on this operating system is already more than 320 million units.
