China’s gray-market handset shipments in 2009 are set to grow to 145 million units, or nearly 13% the size of the legitimate global handset business, reports iSuppli. No wonder the iPhone is selling slowly there.
The gray market in 2009 is set to nearly quadruple from 37 million units in 2005. In contrast, worldwide unit shipments of legitimate handsets will decline by 8% in 2009, notes iSuppli.
