Remember when India used to defy global mobile industry trends to expand in size while most other major smartphone markets were contracting? Pretty much the opposite is true right now, as handset shipments are falling way harder in the world's second most populous country than virtually anywhere else.
In total, an estimated 30.6 million smartphones were sold in India between January and March 2023, compared to the 38.2 million unit tally of Q1 2022, and just like in Q4 2022,But the local heavyweight champion is unlikely to be delighted with its latest quarterly sales figure in the Indian market, which is 11 percent lower than its Q1 2022 score.
In second, Oppo managed to defy all industry trends to boost its shipment numbers by a solid 18 percent year-on-year, while Realme was by far the weakest performer of the top five, nonetheless clinging on to its position in said hierarchy. That leaves Apple somewhere far behind its global arch-rival in the Indian smartphone market, although the premium segment is likely to be copiously dominated by iPhones once again when that particular Q1 2023 report comes out.
