It is followed by Xiaomi, which shipped 7.8 million devices for a 17% market share. Its shipments increased by 200,000 units compared to last year, but its market share actually fell by 1%.
Samsung is in third place with 16% of the pie, having shipped 7.5 million units, down from 18% and 7.9 million respectively last year. Oppo and Realme round out the top five, the former with 6.3 million shipments and 13% market share, the latter with 5.3 million shipments and 11% of the pie.
Oppo has grown the most from last year at 43%, while Realme has performed worse by 8%. Overall, smartphone shipments in India increased 9% to 47.1 million units shipped. Canalys forecasts modest single-digit growth in 2025, with the ultra-low-end 5G segment remaining the key market driver.
