Abstract

This IDC study presents the five-year forecast for the U.S. business use of smartphone shipments by operating system and user type (consumer, individual liable, and corporate liable). It is part of IDC's continuing research with respect to mobile devices. Findings in this document are based on information gathered from primary and secondary sources during the past six months.

"The prioritization and expansion of CL deployments among U.S. enterprise organizations will directly contribute to an increase in the number of mobile-dependent frontline workers in 2022," said Bryan Bassett, senior research analyst, IDC's Enterprise Mobility: Workspace and Deployment Strategies program. "Aside from being easier to manage, CL deployments also make it easier for IT to enforce corporate security policies, deploy devices, and exercise greater control over devices accessing corporate assets."
