Until a few years ago, making smartphones in India was like a dream. Most of the smartphones sold in India were imported. The biggest share of these was from China. China used to sell cheap Chinese smartphones in India. In such a situation, India was called the dumping yard of cheap Chinese smartphones, but in the last decade, the situation of making 5G smartphones has changed rapidly. However, initially many experts were calling the manufacturing of smartphones in India a distant dream, because most experts believed that it would be difficult for China to make smartphones for India and export them to other countries. However, today the figures are telling a different story.
India became the second largest country in the world to make 5G smartphones
According to the Counterpoint Research Report, India has currently taken the lead from America in the production of 5G smartphones. This means that India is currently manufacturing more 5G smartphones than America. India has become the second largest country in the world in terms of manufacturing 5G smartphones. Most of the world’s leading brands like Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo are manufacturing their smartphones in India.

China is still a challenge for India
China is the largest 5G smartphone manufacturing country in the world. But if we talk about 5G smartphone shipments year after year, then India is at the top of this list. Yes, it is definitely true that China is a challenge for India. But seeing the speed of 5G smartphone manufacturing in India, China’s tension may increase. While there has been a 14 percent increase in the production of 5G smartphones in China, India is moving ahead at a speed of 60 percent. No one can match this speed of India.
These are the top 5 countries with 5G smartphone shipments
Without any doubt, China still makes the most smartphones in the world, around 32 percent, while India occupies the second position in this list with 13 percent. The market share of the US is slightly less than India at 13 percent. The shipment of 5G smartphones in Japan is 4 percent. The UK is fourth in this list with 3 percent. The total share of the rest of the countries is 34 percent.
Who are the top players of 5G phones
Apple is the global leader in 5G handset shipments. Its share in the global 5G smartphone market is around 25 percent. This includes the iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 series. After this, Samsung is at the second position in 5G smartphone shipments. Samsung’s Galaxy A series and Galaxy S24 series are in great demand. Xiaomi is at the third spot. Xiaomi has seen triple digit growth in India. According to the Counter Point report, Vivo is emerging as an important player in driving 5G smartphone growth in India. Apart from this, a total of 10 smartphone brands including Motorola are rapidly manufacturing 5G smartphones in India.
Demand for 5G increased in India
According to senior analyst Prachir Singh, the demand for 5G smartphones has increased with the availability of 5G networks in India. India has overtaken the US in terms of 5G handsets in the first half of this year. Currently, 5G connectivity is being offered by Jio and Airtel, while Vodafone-Idea and government telecom company BSNL are soon offering 5G service. In such a situation, there is a possibility of a huge jump in both the production and sale of 5G smartphones in India in the coming days.
There is huge demand for 5G phones in Asia
Asia Pacific has a share of about 58 percent in 5G shipments. According to research reports, double digit growth is being recorded in 5G shipments in Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. In such a situation, 5G smartphone exports from India to the rest of the world may increase.
