By 2017, it is forecast that almost 84 percent of all mobile users in the United States will own a smartphone, an increase from the 27 percent of mobile users in 2010. The Chinese smartphone market is also on the rise with over 538 million units of smartphones forecast to be sold in 2016. This is a huge increase from the 80.7 million that were sold in 2011.
