The Indian mobile handset market has witnessed a huge shift in dynamics with tier one vendors such as Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, and LG losing a significant amount of market share to the smaller local players like Micromax Mobile, G’Five International Limited, Spice Global, Karbonn, Maxx Mobile, Lava International Limited, and Zen Corporation. These vendors benefited from their feature-rich, localized product offerings at much lower price points and the opportunities created by unprecedented growth in the Indian mobile market in the past few years. This report focuses exclusively on the Indian mobile handset market, which has not only seen staggering growth but also has seen the emergence of indigenous and Chinese players in the Indian market. The report identifies the market drivers for the growth of the handset market in India and provides forecasts for handset shipments, 3G subscriptions, and smartphone market size. This report also identifies the relative distribution of handsets across different handset segments, i.e. ultra-low cost, low cost, feature phone, smartphone, etc. and forecasts future trends. It also includes a short profiling of key local players along with the leading multinational handset manufacturers in the Indian mobile market.
