Smartphone shipment dips 2% to 52 million units in September qtr: Counterpoint

India’s smartphone shipments declined 2 per cent year-on-year to reach over 52 million units in September quarter 2021 on account of higher pent-up demand last year due to the pandemic, according to a Counterpoint Research report. “The smartphone market continues to show signs of resiliency and the quarterly numbers would have been even higher if not for the component shortages that escalated during the quarter,” the report said.
