The market is primarily driven by the rising demand for portable handheld devices across the globe. In addition, the shifting consumer preferences toward smart devices that offer various benefits such as easy accessibility to the internet, advanced audio and video calling features, web surfing, and online ordering, is contributing to the market growth.
