In the early 2010s, smartphone penetration was limited and dominated by feature phones. Basic mobile phones were widely used, while smartphones were considered premium devices. With the advent of affordable Android devices and <strong>declining data costs<\/strong>, the landscape began to change around the mid-2010s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 2017, India overtook the United States to become the <strong>second largest smartphone market<\/strong> in shipments, signaling huge demand potential. Over the years, increased digital infrastructure, investments in telecom expansion, and economic reforms fuelled this growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch of 5G services in the early 2020s further accelerated user adoption and transformed connectivity experiences across urban and rural India. Policies like the <strong>PLI Scheme<\/strong> also incentivized local manufacturing, turning India into a key production hub for global brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, with <strong>over 740 million active users<\/strong>, India stands firmly as the <strong>world\u2019s second-largest smartphone market<\/strong>, contributing significantly to global technology consumption and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Takeaways_from_%E2%80%9CIndia_Becomes_Worlds_No_2_Smartphone_Market_2025%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>Key Takeaways from \u201cIndia Becomes World\u2019s No. 2 Smartphone Market (2025)\u201d<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>S.
