Chinese vendors amounted for 76% of all smartphone shipments in India for the period with Xiaomi leading the way with 7 million shipments and a 19% market share. Samsung shipped 6.7million devices and came in second in terms of the market share at 18%. The top three was rounded out by realme which managed 6.1 million shipments and a 17% market share. The two other brands in the top five were vivo (6 million shipments) and Oppo (5.5million) with 16% and 15% market shares respectively.

There is some good news – the overall shipments were up by 12% compared to values for Q2 2021. The main reason for the lower demand in this quarter was high inflation levels which altered consumer spending patterns and demand for smartphones. Brands like Xiaomi, vivo and Oppo were also under scrutiny over tax evasion and money laundering probes.
