Xiaomi falls from top 5 spot in India’s smartphone market as rivals gain

Chinese mobile maker Xiaomi has experienced a significant decline in market share, falling out of the top five smartphone sellers in India during the January to March quarter of 2025.

According to data from IDC, Xiaomi ranked sixth in India after witnessing a 42% year-on-year decrease in shipments in the first quarter of 2025. This decline has eroded the company’s market share to 7.8%, a notable drop from the 12.8% share it held in the same period last year (Q1 2024). In contrast, its rivals have seen their market share increase. Vivo emerged as the market leader with a 19.7% share in the first quarter, marking a significant 14.6% growth compared to the previous year.
