Complimentary Report

India’s smartphone shipments remained flat at 151.8  million units in 2023. The market’s performance in Q4 was better than our expectations and the market ended up shipping 39 million units registering 24% YoY growth. Growth in premium segment, 5G upgrades and better than expected festive season aided this growth. As per our latest forecast, the last quarter (October-December) exited the market with healthy inventory levels compared to last year, setting the right tone for growth for next year.  We believe the market will grow by 6% YoY next year driven by premiumization, diffusion of 5G in lower price bands and better macroeconomic conditions.
