As <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword> prepares for the 5G era, the installed base of smartphones with 5G capabilities crossed 5 crore in the country, a report showed on Friday. The 5G smartphone shipment share reached 29 per cent of overall shipments in the second quarter (Q2), which was the highest ever. "The 5G spectrum auction and commercial availability will accelerate 5G smartphone adoption among users," said research analyst <keyword id="325148" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="shilpi-jain" source="Orion">Shilpi Jain</keyword>. The government has reached new heights in introducing the 5G technology with an auction of over Rs 1.5 lakh crore for 5G spectrum. India's total smartphone installed base crossed 600 million (60 crore) during the April-June quarter as shipments grew 9 per cent (on-year) but fell 5 per cent (on-quarter) to reach almost 37 million units, according to latest research from Counterpoint's Market Monitor service. The annual growth was primarily driven by a lower base in Q2 2021 due to the second Covid-19 wave. The quarterly drop was due to macroeconomic headwinds affecting consumer demand. "Consumers are preferring to repair their device or buy a refurbished one rather than make a new purchase. This trend is more visible in the entry and budget segments. Due to this decline in demand, almost all the brands are facing inventory issues," said senior research analyst <keyword id="9638737" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="prachir-singh" source="Orion">Prachir Singh</keyword>. At the end of June, India's smartphone market was sitting on more than 10 weeks of inventory, more than double the normal inventory size. <keyword id="6354427" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="apple" source="Orion">Apple</keyword> grew 63 per cent (on-year) in Q2 driven by a smaller base in Q2 2021 due to the Covid second wave. It remained the top-selling brand in the ultra-premium segment. "The opening of its own e-store, <keyword id="6354606" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="iphone" source="Orion">iPhone</keyword> SE 2022 and offers on other models will further drive Apple's shipments in the coming quarters," the report mentioned. The smartphone retail ASP (average selling price) grew 10 per cent driven by an increasing share of the higher price segments. India's overall mobile handset market grew 6 per cent (on-year) but fell 9 per cent on quarterly basis. The feature phone market registered a decline of 17 per cent primarily due to the decline in consumer demand, the report mentioned.

While the first three quarters reported a decline in shipments, the shipments grew by 25% in Q4 2023. According to a report by <keyword id="20045132" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="counterpoint-research" source="keywords">Counterpoint Research</keyword>, the Indian smartphone market faced a challenging time in the first six months of “macroeconomic turbulence” which led to low demand and inventory buildup. The smartphone market recovered in the second half of the year due to festive sales and customers upgrading their 4G smartphones for 5G smartphones. “The last quarter (October-December) exited the market with healthy inventory levels compared to last year, setting the right tone for growth for next year. We believe the market will grow by 5% YoY next year driven by premiumization, diffusion of 5G in lower price bands and better macroeconomic conditions,” said Shilpi Jain, Senior Research Analyst, Counterpoint Research.

The smartphone industry is showing signs of recovery amid the festive season. “The market is gradually moving towards growth and we are witnessing positive consumer sentiment during festive season sales. India’s smartphone market will experience growth in the coming quarter due to pent-up demand, elongated festive season and faster 5G upgrades,” said Shilpi Jain, senior analyst, Counterpoint Research. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Apple’s growth bite" comment="subhead" text="Apple’s growth bite">Apple’s growth bite</cmsannotation> Apple has recorded a large increase in its market share in India. The Cupertino tech giant has recorded a 34% year-on-year growth in the country. According to Counterpoint, Q3 2023 has emerged as the best quarter yet for Apple in India, with its shipments crossing 2.5 million units. “Premiumization has started in the world’s second largest smartphone market and Apple has again got the timing right to benefit from this trend through its devices and financing offers,” said Counterpoint Research in its report. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Samsung continues to lead despite decline" comment="subhead" text="Samsung continues to lead despite decline">Samsung continues to lead despite decline</cmsannotation> Samsung continues to lead the Indian smartphone industry despite a decline in market share. The company’s market share has declined from 19.5% in Q3 2022 to 17.2% in Q3 2023. The company’s Galaxy A series and Galaxy M series have reportedly performed well. “Aggressive push in offline through better incentives and price parity across channels, focus on the fastest growing premium segment and innovation through the latest ultra-premium offerings are some of the strategies helping Samsung keep ahead of the competition,” said Shubham Singh, research analyst, Counterpoint Research. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Xiaomi’s affordable 5G devices boost sales" comment="subhead" text="Xiaomi’s affordable 5G devices boost sales">Xiaomi’s affordable 5G devices boost sales</cmsannotation> Xiaomi has also recorded a decrease in market share, while continuing to hold the second position. The company’s market share has declined from 20.6% in Q3 2022 to 16.6% in Q3 2023. The company’s Redmi 12 series and its offline expansion have helped the company to maintain its position. Xiaomi has also been focusing on providing 5G smartphones at an affordable price. “Xiaomi is effectively capitalising on the opportunity to provide 5G technology in the budget segment. Its latest Redmi 12 5G series received an overwhelming response from consumers,” Singh added. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Vivo records 11% growth" comment="subhead" text="Vivo records 11% growth">Vivo records 11% growth</cmsannotation> Vivo has emerged as the fastest growing smartphone brand in the top five. The company recorded a 11% year-on-year growth in Q3 2023. Vivo’s market share increased from 14.4% in Q3 2022 to 15.9% in Q3 2023. The company’s strong offline presence and its sub-brand iQOO, which targets the mid-premium segment helped boost its sales. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Over half of smartphones sold are 5G" comment="subhead" text="Over half of smartphones sold are 5G">Over half of smartphones sold are 5G</cmsannotation> In a boost to the country's 5G ambitions, 53% of the smartphones sold in India during Q3 2023 were 5G enabled. One of the reasons for the growth was availability of 5G smartphones in the sub-INR 15,000 segment. Over 35% of the smartphones sold in this segment were 5G enabled, up from 7% in Q2 2023.

Smartphone shipments in Q2 2023 declined by 3% year-on-year. According to a<a href="https://www.counterpointresearch.com/india-smartphone-market-q2-2023/"> report</a> by Counterpoint Research, while there was a decrease in shipments in Q2, it was significantly less than the 19% decline<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/indian-smartphone-shipments-decline-by-19-in-q1-2023-5g-smartphones-share-increases/articleshow/99815120.cms"> reported</a> in Q1. The improvement was reportedly due to pent-up demand and improved macroeconomic conditions. “In Q2 2023, OEMs saw improvement in the inventory and demand situation ahead of the coming festive season. Aggressive measures were implemented by OEMs as well as channels during the quarter to clear existing inventory through multiple sales and promotions,” said Shilpi Jain, senior research analyst, Counterpoint Research. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Premium smartphone segment has takers" comment="subhead" text="Premium smartphone segment has takers">Premium smartphone segment has takers</cmsannotation> Despite a decline in overall smartphone shipments, the premium smartphone segment recorded a significant increase in shipments. The premium smartphone segment recorded a 112% growth in Q2 2023. For the first time ever, premium smartphones now contribute to 17% of the total shipments, indicating the popularity of premium smartphones. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Samsung continues to lead the market" comment="subhead" text="Samsung continues to lead the market">Samsung continues to lead the market</cmsannotation> Samsung continued to lead the Indian smartphone segment for the third consecutive quarter with a market share of 18%.

Xiaomi on the other hand has reported a decline in shipments. While it was the top smartphone maker in Q2 2022, it has been relegated to the third spot with a market share of 15%, down from 19% in Q2 2022. In Q1 2023, the company reported a market share of 16%. Realme continued to occupy the fourth position with a market share of 12%, despite a drop from its market share of 16% in Q2 2022. The fifth position was occupied by Oppo, with a market share of 11%, same as Q2 2022. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Apple dominates the ultra-premium segment" comment="subhead" text="Apple dominates the ultra-premium segment">Apple dominates the ultra-premium segment</cmsannotation> The ultra-premium segment, which consists of smartphones priced above ₹45,000 continues to be dominated by Apple. The company reported a market share of 59% in the ultra-premium segment, which means nearly three out of five smartphones sold above ₹45,000 was an iPhone. India has also emerged as an important market for the Cupertino giant and for the first time has become one of Apple’s top-five markets. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="5G shipments cross the 100 million mark" comment="subhead" text="5G shipments cross the 100 million mark">5G shipments cross the 100 million mark</cmsannotation> The 5G smartphone shipments reportedly crossed the 100 million cumulative sales mark in Q2 2023.

Apple has been forced to move from a lightning port to the USB Type-C port after the EU<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/after-eu-india-wants-companies-to-offer-a-common-charger-for-all-devices/articleshow/93469948.cms"> introduced</a> rules mandating companies to offer a common charger for all small devices such as smartphones and tablets in a bid to reduce electronic waste. Apple has been the only smartphone company to not offer a USB Type-C port for its smartphones and EU regulations have finally pushed the company to the Type-C port, which is found on most devices these days. USB Type-C port can be called as the industry standard for connectivity when it comes to smartphones and Apple’s shift towards this will make it easier for iPhone users to connect and charge their smartphones. This will also mean that users looking for new cables for the smartphones will be able to get cheaper cables as Type-C cables are available at an affordable price. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="The iPhone 15 may be limited to USB 2.0" comment="subhead" text="The iPhone 15 may be limited to USB 2.0">The iPhone 15 may be limited to USB 2.0</cmsannotation> While the addition of a USB Type-C port is great news, the iPhone 15 series will reportedly be limited to USB 2.0 data transfer speeds, which is 480 Mbps – just like the lightning port. For some context, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is equipped with a USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 1 port that offers 5 Gbps data transfer speeds. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What’s different for India this time" comment="subhead" text="What’s different for India this time">What’s different for India this time</cmsannotation> Apple has been producing iPhones in India for some time now but the major change this year is expected to be the timing. Unlike last year wherein the company started production of iPhone 14 in India nearly at the end of<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/enterprise/news/apple-starts-manufacturing-iphone-14-in-india/articleshow/94447212.cms"> September</a>, the production is expected to begin sooner this year. According to reports, Apple is gearing up to begin the production of the iPhone 15 series in India with its three manufacturers – Foxconn, Wistron and Pegatron already sourcing components. In the first wave, the company is expected to introduce “Made in India” iPhones from the Foxconn plant in Chennai in mid-September. “Apple has ramped up manufacturing in India. All three manufacturing partners for Apple in India, Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron are awardees of the PLI scheme (Production Linked Incentive) which has been one of the top government schemes aimed at increasing manufacturing in India. India has become a focused market for Apple,” said Shilpi Jain, senior analyst, Counterpoint Research. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Exports from India to start in December" comment="subhead" text="Exports from India to start in December">Exports from India to start in December</cmsannotation> Once the festive season ends in India and the demand is reduced, Apple is expected to begin the exports of iPhones from India to the US and other countries. Apple’s exports from India have been increasing over the years. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="iPhones exports from India" comment="subhead" text="iPhones exports from India">iPhones exports from India</cmsannotation> iPhone exports from India have been gaining steam amid the company’s pivot away from China. India now accounts for around 7% of Apple’s global production, up from around 1% in 2021 when the government introduced the PLI scheme. The three manufacturers of iPhones in India have committed to exports worth Rs 61,000 crore for FY24. Interestingly, the iPhone contributed to over 60% of all mobile exports from India in the first quarter of FY24. Apple’s exports also made electronics the fourth-largest exported items in the first quarter of FY24. In 2022-23 the Cupertino tech giant exported around $5 billion worth of iPhones from India, out of the total local production worth $7.5 billion, as per an ET report.

As expected, shares of listed players like Nazara Tech and Delta Corp took a major hit with the latter nosediving 20%. The online gaming industry stakeholders have termed the 28% GST on the full value of gaming as "irrational and egregious", saying that the move is a self goal that will kill the skilled online gaming sector in the country. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="But first, what is the dispute" comment="subhead" text="But first, what is the dispute">But first, what is the dispute</cmsannotation> The main debate has been about online gaming categorisation, whether it is a game of skill or a game of chance. “The Government is saying that if it is a game of chance, it will come under the category of betting, gambling, so there will be a GST of 28% on the gross value. The industry is saying that it is a game of skill and should be liable to18% GST, not on the gross value, but only on the commission component,” explains Pratik Jain, Partner, PwC India, a professional services firm. Roland Landers, CEO of the All India Gaming Federation, said that the decision ignores over 60 years of settled legal jurisprudence and lumps online skill gaming with gambling activities. "We believe this decision by the GST Council is unconstitutional, irrational, and egregious. This decision will wipe out the entire Indian gaming industry and lead to lakhs of job losses and the only people benefitting from this will be anti-national illegal offshore platforms," reads his statement. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="The impact on the online gaming industry" comment="subhead" text="The impact on the online gaming industry">The impact on the online gaming industry</cmsannotation> Experts and gaming company owners agree that this is going to adversely impact the gaming industry in a major way. “It will be interesting to see the business impact for the online gaming sector considering that this sector has been touted to have significant growth potential,” says Shilpy Chaturvedi, Partner, Deloitte India, a professional services firm. Joy Bhattacharjya, Director-General, Federation of Indian <keyword id="34077" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="fantasy" source="Orion">Fantasy</keyword> Sports (FIFS), says that as pointed out by FIFS and many of its members on numerous occasions, change in valuation to tax on the total consideration will cause irreversible damage to the industry, loss of revenue to the exchequer and loss of employment for lakhs of skilled engineers. “The decision will have a chilling effect on the $2.5 billion of FDI already invested by investors and jeopardise potentially any further FDI in the sector. Further, this decision will shift users to illegal betting platforms leading to user risk and loss of revenue for the government,” says Bhattacharjya. Experts say that the higher tax burden will also put a blocker on India’s expanding gaming industry, and deter the new player from entering the industry. Industry insider, Mitesh Gangar, the co- founder and director of PlayerzPot, a fantasy gaming company, says that the move will corner the gaming industry in a big way. “The overall operations will not be feasible. The high tax burden will completely restrict the cash flow, limiting a company’s ability to invest in research, innovation, expansion or survival,” he said. The government on its part has said that the move isn’t targeting any particular industry. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, “The decisions were intensive and were taken after consultation with all the members, including those representing states like Goa and Sikkim where casinos form a key part of the tourism sector."

Online gaming industry says 28% GST makes operations unfeasible

According to Counterpoint, consumer demand is concentrated around promotional periods, during which smartphone and e-commerce companies offer device discounts. “We are observing a change in consumer behavior – demand is now concentrated around promotional periods. The beginning of the quarter saw a surge in demand across channels around the Republic Day sales period. However, demand dropped significantly after the sales period,” said, Shilpi Jain, analyst at Counterpoint Research. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Silver lining for 5G smartphones" comment="subhead" text="Silver lining for 5G smartphones">Silver lining for 5G smartphones</cmsannotation> Despite declining shipments, the market share of 5G smartphones has increased in overall shipments. 5G shipments reported a 23% year-on-year growth to record a 43% market share in overall shipments. “We believe these situations will remain similar in Q2 2023 as well with growth coming back in the second half of the year owing to faster 5G upgrades, easing macroeconomic pressure and festive season,” Jain added. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Premium smartphone shipments remain unaffected" comment="subhead" text="Premium smartphone shipments remain unaffected">Premium smartphone shipments remain unaffected</cmsannotation> The decline in shipments was concentrated under the sub-₹30,000 segment. Smartphones priced above ₹30,000 reported an increase in shipments. Devices above ₹45,000 reported a 66% year-on-year increase in shipments in Q1 2023, while smartphones priced between ₹30,000-₹45,000 reported a 60% increase in shipments. The ₹20,000-₹30,000 segment reported a 33% decline in shipments, and the ₹10,000-₹20,000 segment reported the highest decline at 34%. The sub-₹10,000 segment reported a decline of 9%. “The sub-₹10,000 price band continued to decline in Q1 2023, with its shipments falling 9% YoY. This segment is suffering declining demand due to an elongated replacement period, declining feature phone-to-smartphone migration, and lower presence of hero models,” said Prachir Singh, senior research analyst, Counterpoint Research. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Samsung takes the lead as Xiaomi loses market share" comment="subhead" text="Samsung takes the lead as Xiaomi loses market share">Samsung takes the lead as Xiaomi loses market share</cmsannotation> Samsung, which had a market share of 20% in Q1 2022, continued to hold the same market share, but a decline in Xiaomi’s market share pushed it to the top in Q2 2023. Samsung reported a 247% year-on-year growth in the above ₹45,000 segment, fueled by the Galaxy S23 series. Xiaomi, which had a market share of 23% in Q1 2022, dropped to the third position after its market share declined to 16%. The report claims that one of the reasons for the decline in Xiaomi’s market share is the company’s dependence on the online segment, despite a higher demand in the offline segment. Vivo, which has a strong offline and online presence, increased its market share from 15% in Q1 2022 to 17% in Q1 2023. This allowed the company to grab the second spot. The fourth and fifth spots were grabbed by Oppo and Realme, respectively. Oppo’s market share increased from 9% to 12%, and Realme’s market share declined from 16% to 9%. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Three out of five devices sold above ₹45,000 was an iPhone" comment="subhead" text="Three out of five devices sold above ₹45,000 was an iPhone">Three out of five devices sold above ₹45,000 was an iPhone</cmsannotation> Cupertino giant Apple reported a 50% year-on-year shipment growth in Q1 2023, capturing 6% of the overall smartphone market in the country. The company captured 62% of the ultra-premium segment, which includes devices priced above ₹45,000. Meaning three out of five devices sold in this segment was an iPhone. “The recent opening of its own retail stores in the country will further strengthen Apple’s brand image and lead to better growth avenues not just for iPhones but for the whole Apple ecosystem,” said Counterpoint Research in its report.

Samsung led the market in 2022 in terms of shipment value share with a 22 percent share, followed by Apple, in the country, according to Counterpoint Research. However, in terms of shipment volume, Xiaomi led the market in 2022 with a 20 percent share, closely followed by Samsung. Xiaomi slipped to third position in Q4 2022 with Samsung and vivo capturing first and second spots respectively. 5G smartphones captured a 32 percent share in 2022. Samsung became the top-selling 5G brand in 2022 with a 21 per cent share. Apple continued to lead the premium smartphone segment, with the iPhone 13 emerging as the top-selling model. Apple also led the market in Q4 2022 in terms of shipment value. "Consumer demand started declining from the second quarter when the global economy was crippled by multiple macroeconomic issues like all-time high inflation, rising unemployment and geopolitical conflicts, affecting India's economy as well," said senior research analyst Prachir Singh. Inventory build-up across channels after the second quarter led to lower-than-expected shipments throughout the second half of the year. "We believe that the inventory and demand situation will continue to affect the market in the first half of 2023 before improving in the latter half driven by the festive season and upgrades to 5G devices," Singh added. India's smartphone shipments declined 9 percent YoY to reach over 152 million units in 2022, according to the report. The decline, which is the second ever in India's smartphone market, can be attributed to the decline in entry-level and budget segments which faced supply constraints at the beginning of the year and then witnessed lower demand throughout the year. "While entry-tier and budget segments were most affected, the premium segment remained immune and showed double-digit growth. OEMs' increased focus, consumers upgrading for premium features and, most importantly, availability of various financing schemes," said research analyst Shilpi Jain. Overall, India smartphone market revenue remained flat despite a 9 per cent YoY decline in shipments. OnePlus grew 50 percent YoY in 2022 driven by the OnePlus Nord CE 2 series. It focused on diversifying and expanding its product portfolio across different price points and increasing its offline presence to drive sales, the report mentioned.

Premium segment contributed 35% of overall smartphone market revenue in 2022

New Delhi, Aug 13 (IANS) With a 47 per cent share, <keyword id="18635" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amazon">Amazon</keyword> beat Flipkart to become the top online smartphone channel in India for the first time in the second quarter of this year, Counterpoint Research said on Thursday. While Flipkart's share declined to 42 per cent in the quarter, the platform led the sub-Rs 10,000 price band with more than 50 per cent share in the overall online smartphone market, said the report. Overall, online channels held a 43 per cent share in Q2 2020 in the India online smartphone market. The increase in online channels share was due to a shift in consumer behaviour, who are now preferring contact-less shopping experience and practicing social distancing amid the pandemic. "Due to the preference for online channels, no offline-exclusive model was launched during the quarter. However, during the same period, 11 online-exclusive SKUs (stock keeping units) were launched," Research Analyst Shilpi Jain said in a statement. Xiaomi remained the market leader in online channels with 44 per cent market share in Q2 during which Xiaomi Redmi 8A Dual was the top model for the brand in online channels. "Samsung was quite aggressive on online channels and increased its share to 25 per cent, its highest ever share in online channels. Strong shipments of M-series smartphones led to this increase. Realme remained the top brand on Flipkart," Jain said. "Vivo remained the top brand in offline channels, followed closely by Samsung. Vivo Y91i was the top model for offline channels." According to Counterpoint Research, offline channels are likely to fare better during the latter half of the year.

Xiaomi's Poco becomes third largest online smartphone brand in India

It took <keyword id="10591" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Samsung">Samsung</keyword> two years to end <keyword id="874458" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Xiaomi">Xiaomi</keyword>'s winning streak in the India smartphone market, as the South Korean major recaptured the top slot in the third quarter (July-September period) with 24 per cent share, as the Chinese major logged 23 per cent market share, a Counterpoint Research report said on Wednesday. Riding on multiple strategies -- including effective supply chain and touching various price points through new launches -- Samsung became the leading brand in the India smartphone market with 32 per cent (year-on-year) growth. Samsung was also the fastest to recover, surpassing the pre-COVID levels in Q3 2020, according to the latest research from Counterpoint's Market Monitor service. Samsung's aggressive push in online channels, with highest-ever online contribution within its portfolio, also helped it regain its number one spot, the report noted. Xiaomi slipped to number two position for the first time since Q3 2018 with 4 per cent YoY decline. "Manufacturing constraints due to the Covid-19 situation affected its supply chain, leading to a supply-demand gap," the report noted. Vivo with 16 per cent market share and Realme with 14 per cent share were third and fourth, respectively. Overall, India's smartphone shipments grew 9 per cent (YoY) to reach over 53 million units in Q3 2020 e the highest-ever shipment in a quarter. "In terms of price bands, the mid-tier (Rs 10,000-Rs 20,000) segment registered the highest growth and reached its highest ever share in a quarter," said senior research analyst Prachir Singh. In the overall handset market, Samsung was once again the leader with 22 per cent market share, followed by Xiaomi at 14 per cent share. The report said that with ramped-up manufacturing, strong demand for the Redmi 9 and Note 9 series, aggressive product strategy and growing offline presence, "we believe Xiaomi will come back strongly in the coming quarter". Vivo grew 4 per cent (YoY) and retained its third position in Q3, driven by strong demand for its Y-series models in offline channels. In Q3 2020, it entered the premium market with the X50 series and was the first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to launch a gimbal camera that got positive feedback from consumers. "Though online channels remain in focus, OEMs are also trying to leverage new opportunities in offline channels in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities," said Research Analyst Shilpi Jain. In this regard, Xiaomi launched 'Mi store on Wheels', Samsung launched Galaxy M01 Core and vivo announced more retail discounts. "Additionally, the brands are focusing on affordability by announcing cashbacks, promotions and offers on devices," Jain added.

The film communicates a powerful message, that even though we have come a long way in recognizing the LGBTQ+ (Pride) community, this does not necessarily equate to true acceptance, we still need to work on it and ensure that we can welcome one of our own if they belong to the group. The film urges us to rethink what it means to truly welcome and become an ally to the LGBTQ community. <div type="Youtube" id="63JMPlbJl70" title="ACKO celebrates Pride Month" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/63JMPlbJl70/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Starring popular film &amp; theatre actor, Neeraj Kabi, who has won acclaim for his roles in the web series Sacred Games and Paatal Lok, the film opens with four friends at a get together. As one of the friends, Rakesh Kapoor (RK), proudly shows that he has changed his profile cover picture on social media to the Pride colours in support of the community, the other friends pat him on the back, assuming that RK has now learned of his son’s sexual identity. The accidental reveal leaves RK speechless as he tries to reconcile with his own conflicting actions and emotions. The film is based on the Pride Research conducted by ACKO and YouGov in June 2021, which found that only 2 out of every 5 Indian parents said that they would be supportive if their child was part of the LGBTQ+ community. The campaign highlights this important point - “Post pride, Support pride, but more importantly, be ready to accept Pride.” This campaign is a reflection of ACKO’s ongoing effort to create a workplace that reflects its core values of embracing and supporting true diversity. The company is among the early and a handful of startups that extends a group medical insurance cover to include the partners of LGBTQ+ employees. ACKO prioritizes training and education programs to sensitize and raise awareness about the LGBTQ+ community and to ensure ongoing support of LGBTQ+ staff in the company. Talking about the campaign, <keyword id="486140" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ashish-Mishra">Ashish Mishra</keyword>, Executive Vice President- Marketing, ACKO General Insurance, said, “From denial to recognition, Indian society has come a long way in terms of their attitude towards the LGBTQ+ (PRIDE) community. However, there is still a huge amount of work to be done to make sure that people are willing to accept, if one of their own is part of this community. #TalkPride Campaign is our way to progress on this front”. This campaign has been conceptualized by Leo Burnett Orchard. “We are so used to sharing our support for the LGBTQ+ community on social media. But we never take a moment to stop and think how open we will be to having someone in the family who identifies as the same.

ACKO’s Pride campaign urges people rethink what it means to truly welcome and become an ally to the LGBTQ community

New Delhi, June 15 (IANS) Online channels are likely to account for a highest-ever 45 per cent share of smartphone sales in 2020 owing to the Covid-19 situation as people would prefer to buy devices online to maintain social distancing, a new report has said. Among the online channels, Flipkart is likely to hold top position while Amazon will grow the fastest. "Xiaomi is likely to lead the online brand rankings while Realme will be the fastest-growing brand in the online space in 2020," according to the latest report from Counterpoint Research. In Q1 2020, Flipkart led the overall online market with a 50 per cent share but its shipments declined 7 per cent (YoY). However, Amazon grew in Q1 2020 with a 3 per cent (YoY) growth. "The Covid-19 crisis had little impact in the March-ending quarter. However, during the lockdown, the market has come to an almost complete standstill, massively impacting all aspects of the smartphone market including both online and offline channels," said Prachir Singh, Senior Research Analyst. While all sales volume is set to decline, sales through online channels will only decline by 5 per cent while sales through offline channels are expected to decline by 19 per cent. "This means the share of sales through online channels will reach around 45 per cent of total volume this year," Singh informed. In Q1 2020, Xiaomi remained the market leader in online channels with 48 per cent share, followed by Realme with 18 per cent share. Realme regained its top position on Flipkart. Among the top 10 online brands, Realme grew the fastest compared to the previous quarter. However, the brand is also expanding in offline channels. It registered 269 per cent (YoY) growth in the offline channel shipments, said the report. "Online channels remained strong during Q1 2020 due to multiple sales promotions on both Flipkart and Amazon. In terms of the price band, more than 60 per cent of the smartphone shipments on Flipkart were below Rs 10,000 while 80 per cent of the smartphones sold on Amazon were above Rs 10,000," informed Shilpi Jain, Research Analyst. Smartphone brands are hurriedly evolving their business models and updating channel strategies to cope with the new reality. "We have already seen multiple brands adopting an online to offline (O2O) model and hyperlocal delivery to help their offline channel partners," said Singh. Xiaomi has launched Mi Commerce, Vivo has launched Vivo Smart Retail (VSR) and Samsung has partnered with payments startup Benow to help its offline retailers. --IANS na/

Amid stuttering supply for some <keyword id="9636204" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="major-chinese-brands">major Chinese brands</keyword> and the anti-China sentiment, Samsung gained big as pent-up smartphone demand after lockdown pushed the June volumes and the company was ready with full manufacturing capacity to meet the demand. Samsung closely followed Xiaomi which logged 29 per cent market share to remain at the top in Q2. Revamping the M-series and launching it in offline channels together with new schemes like Samsung Care+ helped the brand to further restore its position in the <keyword id="47445" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-market">Indian market</keyword>, according to Counterpoint Research's 'Market Monitor Service'. Samsung also has a diversified supply chain compared to its competitors, which helped it to maintain a steady flow of components. It was the first brand to reach almost full manufacturing capacity by the end of June, the report mentioned. "The contribution of Chinese brands fell to 72 per cent from 81 per cent in Q2 2020. This was mainly due to the mixture of stuttering supply for some major Chinese brands such as OPPO, Vivo and realme, and growing anti-China sentiment," said Shilpi Jain, Research Analyst at Counterpoint. It was compounded by stringent actions taken by the government to ban 59 apps of Chinese origin and delay the import of goods from China amid extra scrutiny. Overall, the smartphone market declined a massive 51 per cent (year-on-year) to just over 18 million in Q2 as April was a washout. The nationwide lockdown resulted in zero shipments during April. "The pandemic wiped out almost 40 days of production as well as the sales of smartphones due to the nation-wide lockdown. The quarter was marred by both demand and supply constraints which led OEMs to rethink their go-to-market strategies," said Prachir Singh, <keyword id="191938" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="senior-research-analyst">Senior Research Analyst</keyword> at Counterpoint. In June, the smartphone shipments registered a mild decline of 0.3 per cent (YoY) thanks to the pent-up demand as well as a push from brands. Vivo with 17 per cent share at third spot was able to manage post lockdown demand well as it exited the quarter with 60 per cent pre-Covid levels. The launch of flagship V19 and adding more smartphones like Y50, Y30 to its Y-series portfolio helped the brand to recover fast in June. "Local manufacturing, R&amp;D operations, attractive value-for-money offerings and strong channel entrenchment by Chinese brands leaves very few options for consumers to choose from. Additionally, in the era of globalization, it is difficult to label a product based on country of origin as components are being sourced from many different countries," said Jain. Realme maintained the fourth spot though its share declined to 11 per cent as it faced manufacturing constraints due to the shutdown of the factory for almost all of May.
