Here's why Indian smartphone makers must buckle up, or lose dominance to Chinese brands like Xiaomi, OPPO



Prominent Indian smartphone makers risk losing dominance to Chinese players like Xiaomi, OPPO and Vivo due to their staggering growth in the affordable, mid-range and premium segment. Chinese smartphone makers have disrupted the Indian market in a big way, by launching affordable smartphones with premium specifications.

By offering good value-for-money smartphones, Chinese players have managed to grab a sizable share in the Indian market. There's a new report by CMR that shows supreme dominance of Chinese vendors in Q1 2017. Compared to Q1 2016, revenues of Chinese OEMs grew 180 percent and captured 40 percent of the overall market in the January-March quarter.

"In the smartphone arena, the Chinese brands have already kicked out domestic players from the top five list and in the near future we will see Chinese players wiping out the Indian brands from the top five chart of overall mobile handset segment, too," Krishna Mukherjee, a telecom analyst at CMR, said in a statement.
