As a majority of Italians now have smartphones, replacement purchases will increasingly be the dominant driver of sales of these devices. The continued rollout of 5G will play a significant role in this, as it will lead a growing number of local consumers to upgrade to smartphones that can access these networks and the faster speeds that they offer.
Feature phones will continue to see decline in the forecast period, with few brands expected to remain available in the competitive arena. The fact that retail prices in the category are significantly lower than those of smartphones will be appealing for many consumers, especially in the midst of challenging economic conditions.
With feature phones declining and older consumers being more acquainted with smartphones, mobile phone companies will have to be good at addressing the specific needs of older generations. This will involve ensuring simplicity of use, as well as providing large screens or few and big keys.
