Counterpoint: India's smartphone shipments to grow 8% year-on-year in Q1 2024

Counterpoint's latest research shows that India's smartphone shipments grew 8% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2024, and 18% in value. The volume growth was mainly driven by healthy inventory levels and a lower base in the first quarter of 2023. The value growth was driven by the continued premiumization trend and new products launched this quarter, such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 and OnePlus 12 series. In the first quarter of 2024, the volume share of the premium market reached 20%, the highest ever, and the value share of the entire Indian smartphone market reached 51%.

Commenting on the market value dynamics, Shilpi Jain, Senior Research Analyst said, “During the quarter, the Indian smartphone market recorded its highest ever Q1. The growth was driven by the premiumization trend, with consumers upgrading to higher value smartphones across price segments. According to Counterpoint’s Consumer Lens survey, more than a third of mid-tier consumers are willing to upgrade to the premium segment. Factors driving this trend include affordable payment options, better trade-in deals and bundling options, and demand for top-tier features such as AI, gaming, and imaging enhancement.”
