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. Find out in this report what areas
Google is investing and if it is successful in acquiring and increasing its
market share.
Capitalising on Mobile Success - Strategies and Potential Revenues

market position, spending in 2010 more than $3.76 billion in research and
development and $7.31 billion in acquisitions. It has been active in seeking
new partnerships and making numerous acquisitions in order to offer
competitive products. In addition, Google is expanding into new markets and
investing in new technologies which it believes will shape the future of
mobile. This report investigates Google' s ventures and projects and evaluates
their potential with regards to product innovation, evolution in the mobile
segment and the demands of the market.

end-users to multi-national corporations. It is staking a place in the mobile
operating system with Android in a bid to turn it into a multi-purpose OS but

heavily investing in the Android platform and the Android Market. It is also
increasingly acquiring a number of software companies in order to consolidate

mobile landscape.

competency and it leads the market both on desktops and in mobile. The growing
popularity of Android, its domination in search capabilities, the successful

into mobile.
