India smartphone shipments to stay flat in 2023 despite festive uptake: Market trackers

NEW DELHI: Smartphone shipments in India are expected to remain flat or see a minor decline despite the strong uptake during the festival season, according to market trackers.

The country had seen a steep decline in smartphone shipments in the first half of 2023, which even the robust festival-season sales failed to offset. In this backdrop, market trackers said they expect the year to end with 140-150 million units shipped.
