Share of Chinese brands slips to 72% in the quarter ending June, says Counterpoint Research

Bengaluru: The share of Chinese brands in India’s smartphone market dropped to 72% in the quarter ended June 30, compared to a peak of 81% in the first three months of this year, market researcher Counterpoint Research said, as leading brands faced a supply crunch amid rising anti-China sentiment.

The fall in market share came on the back of a big decline in smartphone shipments during the quarter, which fell 51% year-on-year to just over 18 million units.
