Apple’s iOS led the Italian mobile operating system (OS) market until 2013. That year, Android took over. The years from 2010 to 2014 were the period of steepest growth for Android. In the following years, Google's OS Android continued to gain market share, albeit at a slower pace. Indeed, between 2018 and 2021, Android’s market share increased from 74.52 percent to 74.88 percent.
As a consequence of the Huawei U.S. ban, Google refused to renew Huawei Android license in May 2019. In August 2019, the Chinese manufacturer announced its operating system, Harmony. Huawei had a great customer base in Italy. However, the odds that Harmony will manage to disrupt the mobile OS market are low: in the past, Microsoft and Blackberry's attempts to launch alternative operating systems failed to take off.
