BEIJING – For the first six months of 2009, handsets exported from China fell 7.7% year-over-year and 7.2% sequentially to 230 million units, reports custom authorities in the country.

 

The drop is attributed to weak demand during the economic slowdown.

In January, handset exports were at the lowest levels in two years at 28 million units. Exports did rebound to 46 million units in June.
