BenQ Mobile had the lowest market share in the cell phone market and their share dropped to half in 2006 than the previous year. All other mobile manufacturers’ market share comprised over 19% in 2005 and that reduced to slightly over 16% as Nokia, Motorola and Sony Ericsson had been able to secure more market share worldwide.
