The consumer data in the mobile handset market suggests that Samsung, Nokia, Micromax, Sony and HTC are the five most researched brands on the internet and Samsung Galaxy S3 with its unique features is the most researched handset model.

     

    A key insight gathered from the data is the increasing consumer interest in Micromax phones. Micromax was the second most researched handset brand after Samsung in Feb 2013 while Micromax A110 Canvas 2 was the most researched handset model in January 2013. The data also suggests increasing popularity of Nokia, with its range of Nokia Asha and Nokia Lumia models that are competing with the likes of HTC, Apple and Sony Mobile. Another interesting revelation is Sony’s consistent performance making Sony Mobile the 4th most researched handset brand.

     

    PrecisionMatch Mobile Handset Market Insights was derived from aggregation and analysis of audience data for 5.3 million unique users across India over the 3 months. The 5.3 million unique users are audiences who displayed strong purchase intent by either researching, comparing or reviewing handset brands across sites.

    “PrecisionMatch will utilize advanced data mining and analytics to identify prospective consumer segments for advertisers, generate actionable insights from aggregated data and develop consumers online behaviour models,” said Nitin Chowdhary, Business Head, PrecisionMatch

    “Over 50% of the web inventory globally is already on exchanges and this trend is accelerating.  In APAC, it is estimated to be 5-10% and is rising rapidly. Additionally, in APAC, that has about $700 MM of display advertising spend, the supply of inventory outstrips the demand by at least 5 times. In such a scenario, buying the right impression is critical to drive ROI for which advertisers will need quality audience data. recisionMatch is our resolution to make display advertising more effective in APAC and UAE by means of targeting data without destroying the ROI,” said Manish Vij, Founder, Smile Vun Group.


    PrecisionMatch works via partners. Marketers will be able to use PrecisionMatch data through their media partners i.e. DSPs, Agency Trading Desks and Ad Networks.
