housands of social media posts, angry protests outside factory gates T and dismantled billboards promoting Chinese smartphones have failed to dislodge the leading handset brands in India. In spite of being attacked from all corners, a faltering supply chain and negative sentiments soaring high among the local consumers, top Chinese smartphone brands gained market share during the most critical phase — the April-June quarter of this year. According to data from advisory services firm International Data Corporation (IDC), four of the top five brands in the local market continue to be from China and their total market share went up to 66.4 per cent (by volume) during the quarter — from 60.9 per cent in the corresponding quarter last year. Market leader since mid-2017, Xiaomi held on to its first position with 29.4 per cent share.

The cumulative market share of the top four Chinese brands in India, however, declined over the previous quarter (it was 75 per cent in January-March). At the same time, the total share of all Chinese brands together in India fell to 72 per cent in April-June from 81 per cent in the previous quarter.
