Google's Success in Mobile Search & Advertising - How is it Consolidating its Position?
Google has been dominating desktop internet search and advertising for almost a decade now. It has deployed an aggressive strategy which is swiftly occupying the mobile space. Google is dominating the global mobile search market with a market share of 97% for mobile searches worldwide. Optimising its core expertise, Google has managed to anticipate the mobile demand and is constantly optimising its services to anticipate future trends. Visiongain estimates Google's mobile search advertising revenues to reach $2.85 billion by 2016.
Google is currently facing a difficult task in forming a more cohesive internal strategy, which, if left too long, might see its strategic advantage in mobile evade it. This report analyses Google's unique business methods, how it is leveraging its core competencies to consolidate its position and whether its strategies are effective in overcoming market barriers and industry challenges.
Expanding Core Competencies - Can You Afford to Stand Back?
Google is adding value to its existing online services and products by ensuring their availability on mobile platforms. Geo-target targeted information and data collection are enabling it to harness the full potential of mobile advertising. Its accelerated deployment of free services and open-source models is squeezing out competitors and conferring upon it a significant competitive advantage, allowing it to quickly overtake established market players. By 2016, visiongain expects Google's Android to hold a 46% market share in the mobile OS segment.
