After four quarters of impressive growth rates, the MEA market settled into a typical level of growth in Q1 2024 and was in line with global trends with a growth rate of 6% YoY. Short-term challenges like the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, currency fluctuations in certain African countries and a busy election calendar are not expected to derail the smartphone market’s long-term growth prospects in the region. Towards the end of the quarter, brands and channels hosted sales events on account of Ramadan and Easter. These lifted sales to a certain extent but did not achieve the level of success seen in Q1 2023.

Overview:
India smartphone market shipments were in line as per our expectations in Q1 2024 as the market grew 9% YoY driven by new launches and premium segment growth. However, sales were low which led to inventory built-up. Consumer demand is expected to improve around the festive period, with upgrades further boosting later in the second half of the year. Therefore, overall we believe the market will witness single digit growth of 3% in 2024 driven by premium segment and 5G upgrades.
5G upgrades were better than our expectations since the penetration reached 70%. as OEMs introduced 5G capabilities in the lower price segment as key differentiators. Overall we estimate 5G share to increase to 77% in 2024. The premium segment is expected to cross 20% shipment share in 2024. Consumers jumping price bands and going for better featured smartphones will help this price band.

Overview:
LATAM smartphone shipments surge 21.9% YoY in Q1 2024. This is the region’s third consecutive quarterly rise. Part of the growth was because the sell-in in most markets in Q1 last year had declined to clear inventory. On the other hand, this year, operators and retailers were building inventory for Monther’s Day. All this managed to defy traditional seasonality and showed that the region’s sales channels were confident enough about the demand to build some inventory.
