Sales of HTC smartphones in the Taiwan market will top over one million units in 2011, accounting for 40% of the segment compared to 20% a year earlier, according to Jack Tong, president of HTC North Asia.

Sales from the high-end HTC Sensation lineup have been amazing in the local market, and other models such as Wildfire S, Incredible S and the Desire lineup have also made inroads into the entry-level and mid-range markets, Tong added.

China has now become the largest market for HTC in North Asia, with its market share comparable to that held by Motorola Mobility, Tong revealed.
