In 2015, Smartphone sales growth rate is forecast to decline to 11.3% compared to 27.6% in 2014.
The trend is expected to continue till 2019.

The reason - China's smartphone growth is forecast to be just 2.5% in 2015, slower than worldwide growth rate.

Interesting data in the IDC report, a video here, is that the India smartphone market will see robust growth in 2015 and that is to continue for a few years.

The global shipment of smartphones will be 1.44 billion in 2015 and will reach 1.9 billion by 2019.

Now if I extrapolate on India smartphone market, that will be mostly in low-priced phones in the range of $100-$200. Smartphone being the #1 item for semiconductor growth, one can guess the growth for semiconductor market. How will the expensive nodes of 14nm and 10nm recover the ROI? Can we expect a recovery beyond 2019? My guess is that the smartphone and semiconductor markets will further saturate. PC and Tablet markets we are seeing. How much hope we can put on IoT and IoE?
 
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Smartphone Touch Screen market to grow at a CAGR of 10.7 percent over the period 2014-2019.

Touch screen is a two-dimensional sensing device in the form of a transparent sheet, which is integrated on devices and provides a sensing and feedback system. It is a display screen that is sensitive to the touch of a finger or stylus. A touch screen consists of various layers that track and convert movements on the screen into electrical charge in the form of a signal. This signal is sent to the processor to perform the required action on the device. A touch screen requires three basic components to provide a touch interface: touch sensor, controller IC, and software driver. Of the three components, touch sensor holds high significance because it forms the interface between the display and user activities. Also, most of the R&D goes around touch sensors for enhancing the touch sensitivity. From smart phones to laptops to GPS systems, touchscreen devices are everywhere. Consumers now expect an intuitive touch experience from every new device that hits the market. Since the introduction of Apple’s iPhone in 2007, the touchscreen market has exploded.

Touch Screen has a wider application and it is growing, so it's natural to have ~10% CAGR for touch screen market which is much above a single smartphone, tablet or PC category.
