In 1991, Nokia achieved leadership in the production of equipment with GSM

(Global System for Mobile Communications) technology. This strategy proved very
successful, since by 1998 Nokia is the leader in the mobile phone market,
leadership that remains until The Introduction of 3G mobile technology. In the
period from 1996 to 2001, the company increased its sales volume fivefold, from
6.5 billion to 31 billion euros.
In 2007, Apple launched the first iPhone and revolutionized the mobile phone
industry. While sales of iPhones in that year grew 327.5%, Nokia's sales fell 3%
and continued to lose market share. However, Nokia was still the second largest
producer of mobile phones, worldwide, to date.
In 2009, Nokia Corporation reports its first losses over a period of 10 years,
admitting a slow reaction to the launch of the iPhone and Android operating system
devices, its main competitors.
