The market that can be worn in India quickly becomes a hegemony of homemade brands such as boats and noise, which now dominates gadget sales such as smart watches and wireless earbuds, giving old leaders such as Xiaomi, Samsung and Apple run their money. Market research insights also show that in the last quarter, Indians buy more tablets and laptops, even though the sales of smart phones slow down, against global trends. In Q2 2022, 23.9 million units that could be charged in the country, an increase of 112.8% during the same period in 2021. Data by IDC research companies showed that although the wrist bands saw a decrease (63% shipping lower) , which was offset by smartwatches (an increase of 298.4%) and ear clothing (86.7% higher).
Indian technology companies (with a share of 34.3%) and noise (with 11.5%) lead the market. The smartphone brand based in China OnePlus is third, with a share of 8.7%. In these segments, the noise leads the domain of smart watches with a market share of 28.5%, followed by fire-boltt (24.8%). “We strengthen our commitment to improve smartwatch manufacturing in India under India’s make in initiative,” said Amit Khatri, one of the founders in Noise. Prices and values have played an important role, with an average selling price that can be charged 7.2% in the first half of 2022 compared to the period of the year before. Indian brand, in particular, leads the price war.
For example, the Smartwatch Spec Entry Boat is valued ₹ 1,799 among a total of 32 watches in the shop window, all below ₹ 5,000. Noise’s Colorfit Pulse, with a price of ₹ 1,699 or even cheaper, and the company has a strong portfolio of 30 Watch. In comparison, Redmi Watch Xiaomi price ₹ 3,999, a significant premium in the market that is sensitive to prices “Requests that can be worn have moved beyond the cities by attracting aspirational consumers in small cities and cities,” said Navkendar Singh, Vice President of Association, Device Research, IDC India, South Asia & Anz. As a comparison, OnePlus, Samsung, and Apple have focused on items that can be worn premium, although OnePlus seems to be a little spinning with various affordable wireless earbuds.
The price war also means more features at a lower cost. More and more new smart watches, for example, show Bluetooth calls and, in terms of earphones, better audio hardware. IDC estimates that India’s shipping can record 90 million, at the end of this year, with online sales, and aggressive prices provide demand power, according to Singh. Tablets get popularity, but what about PC? In the case of larger devices, tablets register 68% growth in Q2 2022, year to year, according to Cyber Media Research. Of this amount, 78% is an 8-inch screen size, showing a wider need for fabrication, and not just as a substitute for a laptop. Price band ₹ 10,000 to ₹ 20,000 registered 142% sequential growth, data shows.
“For parents in the average Indian household, more logical to spend around ₹ 20,000 for each computing device,” said Farhana Haque, group director, device in Microsoft India, in a conversation with HT. “There are many parents who go and buy tablets because there are no laptops that are right at this price,” he added A second analyst believes the launch of 5G telephone services can trigger acceleration in this segment. “We estimate the encouragement in sending a 5G tablet in the tablet market, similar to the trend observed in the 5G smartphone market,” said Menka Kumari, Analyst, Industry Intelligence Group (iIG), CMR.
They estimate tablet sales to grow around 10% this year. In this segment, market leaders are still foreign brands – Lenovo has 26% share, and Apple and Samsung each have 19% – but Indian companies carve larger pieces of pie. Lava, which did not have a part that was seen last year, now has 18% with the debutant of the realm that records the same performance by cornering 13% of shares this year
But what about smartphones? Sales have slowed down, research by IDC shows. In the last quarter, India’s global shipping department (287.4 million) was 36.4 million, which was 5% lower-year-year-year. Xiaomi maintains the highest market share but records a negative annual trend of 26%. This allows Samsung, with 23%growth, to significantly close the gap. Now there is hope that the 5G service will unlock the request. According to Nomura’s research company, only 7% of the Indian active smartphone user base is 5G. Shopping platforms of Flipkart’s latest sales trends show demand for 5G mobile phones in ₹ 10,000- ₹ 15,000 band prices have seen almost four times the growth of H1 2022, years-to-year. This is a period when the brand including Samsung and Vivo expanded their 5G telephone line-up.
“For the last few quarters, we have witnessed the increasing demand for 5G smartphones that will offer higher internet speed,” said Kunal Gupta, Senior Director, Cellphone in Flipkart, while showing that 75% of the 5G telephone search is produced from Tier 2 and City -small town. Cybermedia Research (CMR) estimates that the delivery of Indian smart phones as a whole for 2022 will be around 174 million units.
