India’s smartphone market tumbles in the second quarter: Canalys

The Indian smartphone market saw shipments fall by 5 per cent in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the previous quarter, according to Canalys, the Singapore-based research firm. Shipments in the second quarter stood at 36.4 million units, with major brands struggling to shift units as consumer demand dwindled. But on a year-to-year comparison, the market was still positive with shipments increasing 12 per cent on a yearly basis. Xiaomi remained the market leader with 7 million units. However, Xiaomi continues to face another quarter of both annual and sequential decline, according to Canalys.

Samsung was a close second with 6.7 million shipments, while realme came in at number three with 6.1 million units being shipped. Vivo and OPPO completed the top five, shipping 6.0 million and 5.5 million units respectively.
