According to a study from ABI Research the market for mobile browsers will grow significantly over the next several years. ABI says that the Internet browser segments for mobile phone users will grow to 1.5 billion units by 2013.

"The focus today for mobile browser developers is to take advantage of the latest web standards while also developing solutions tailored towards the unique experience of using a browser on a mobile phone," says research director Michael Wolf. "The most recent commercial solutions from Opera, Openwave and ACCESS, as well as those using open source solutions such as Webkit, are targeted towards allowing consumers to access content on the web without limitations due to browser constraints."

With the growth of smartphones expected to continue to rise significantly it’s no surprise that the mobile browser market will grow significantly. Even some basic phones not considered smart devices have Internet access now as well.
