Market insights:

The market is driven by increased purchasing power, rise in the adoption of internet and data services, and introduction of smartphones with updated features at affordable prices. The launch of 5G smartphones is expected to bring exponential growth to the market in the coming years.

The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of ~14.46% during the 2021 – 2026 period to reach a shipment volume of 304.75 million units in 2026.

In 2020, Xiaomi led the business with a 27.25% shipment share, followed by Samsung (21.50%).

Impact of COVID-19:

In the wake of the pandemic, the government imposed lockdown measures that reduced outdoor activities, resulting in a decline in the sale of smartphones at offline stores. The demand for smartphones surged, primarily because of remote learning, as well as virtual social gathering. Several people lost their jobs, while some took pay cuts. As a result, they refrained from purchasing devices with upgraded features.

Government initiatives:

Several initiatives undertaken by the government have influenced the smartphone market. The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme provided all electronics manufacturing companies with registered manufacturing units with a 4% to 6% incentive on incremental sales. The Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters scheme offered financial incentives to mobile phone manufacturers to develop world-class infrastructure and common facilities and amenities.

Key growth drivers of the market:

  • Consumers' preference shifted from standard feature phones to smartphones because of increased internet penetration to the internet
