According to Canalys, the India smartphone market increased 6% last year, reaching a total of 30 million mobile shipments. Surprisingly, the Chinese brand takes the lead this time with 8.2 million units. As a result, they have managed to surpass the giant Samsung with only 7.3 million devices.<\/p>\n<p>Together, Xiaomi and Samsung dominated the India smartphone category with more than 50 percent total market shares in India. In details, Xiaomi owns 27 percent share, on the other hand,\u00a0 Samsung has 25 percent of the shipments. Moreover, Vivo, OPPO and Lenovo follow after at the third, fourth and fifth positions respectively. It looks like all these Chinese smartphone brands have had a great year.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/xiaomi-redmi-5-1420x670.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/xiaomi-redmi-5-1420x670-300x142.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/xiaomi-redmi-5-1420x670-768x362.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/xiaomi-redmi-5-1420x670.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/xiaomi-redmi-5-1420x670.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/xiaomi-redmi-5-1420x670-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/xiaomi-redmi-5-1420x670-768x362.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-71478 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Xiami Redmi 5\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Regarding Xiaomi\u2019s achievement, Canalys\u2019s Research Analyst Ishan Dutt has shared his idea. &#8220;<em>Their results are praiseworthy since they entered the market just three years ago. Also, multiple factors have contributed to the company&#8217;s growth. But the key reason lies in the autonomy that it granted its Indian unit, letting it run the business locally. Localization in channel strategy, marketing and products have been evident in Indian operations.&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0On the other hand, the report also stated the reason behind Samsung&#8217;s declined. Their\u00a0loss comes from its incapacity to develop their low-cost product portfolio.\u00a0The Korean brand has been unable to win over consumers, losing market share in the sub-INR15,000 (US$240) segment to Xiaomi quarter after quarter. Notably, Xiaomi is currently ruling this sections with their Redmi series.<\/p>\n<h3>Will Xiaomi continue its success in 2018?<\/h3>\n<p>In 2018, Xiaomi is planning to release more handsets in India market, from the mid-range <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/xiaomi-mi-6x-coming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mi 6X<\/a> to the flagship Mi 7. Moreover, other Chinese brands such as Huawei or Vivo are also aiming to push more products to the market. Will Samsung be able to regain their top position? Or Xiaomi is going to dominate the India market again? What do you think?
