With fast and cheap mobile data plans and the largest population in the world, India has a lot to offer in the smartphone industry. Most of the Indian people use smartphones to connect to the internet, making it a huge market for many smartphone brands. Around 46 million smartphone units were shipped across India in the third quarter of 2024. Over the presented period, a general growth trend could be observed.
Smartphone users in India
The Indian smartphone user base has a lot of potential to grow since many people still do not have internet subscription. However, the initiative by the central government to digitize the economy and the availability of cheap internet plans by private sector firms such as Reliance Jio, has resulted in a significant increase. The smartphone user base in India is predicted to cross 75 percent by 2025.
