HELSINKI, Oct 20 (Reuters) - The world‘‘s top handset maker Nokia  forecast its mobile sales volumes growth in the fourth quarter would exceed the market as a whole, particularly because of demand from developing markets.
The company said on Thursday it expected its market share to improve year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter and also forecast the overall mobile device market for 2005 to reach about 780 million units, up from its previous estimate of 760 million units.
The Finnish mobile giant said industry volumes in the fourth quarter would reflect usual holiday seasonal demand and grow compared with the third quarter.
But Nokia expected its average selling prices in the forth quarter to decline from 105 euros in the third.
Nokia‘‘s main rivals had already reported strong conditions at the high-price end of the market as well as for cheaper phones, traditionally seen as the Finnish group‘‘s strongest area.
