Canalys recently put out India smartphone sales statistics for Q2 2020, visualizing the harsh realities of the country’s strict and lengthy lockdown and battle with the COVID-19 pandemic in numbers. During the period, smartphone shipments in the country, as a whole, fell by 48% year-over-year. In raw numbers, that’s a decline form 33 million units in Q2 2019, down to only 17.3 million in Q2 2020.
During the nationwide lockdown, smartphones were classified as non-essential goods, prohibiting even giants like Amazon and Flipkart from distributing them within the country.

For context, during Q1 2020, local Chinese smartphone shipments declined 18% year-over year and global shipments in the entire smartphone sector fell by 13%. At the time, India was still enjoying an increase in year-over-year sales of 4%.

Clearly, it’s a turbulent time for the smartphone market in India. All the major Chinese manufacturers have recently been rushing to announce new models in a bid to try and make up for lost time and re-capture market ground in the commotion. Some major corporate power-plays are also underway. Samsung has recently invested heavily in India, so have Apple and Foxcon. Major tech players, like Facebook, Intel and Google have all taken interest in growing local businesses, particularly Jio and its parent Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries. Large sums of money have been pouring into the latter. With India’s increasing focus on local production, India-first and China plus one Initiatives, we are clearly witnessing a large-scale migration of resources into the country and investments for the long-haul and overall tech future.
