Smartphone exports rise 39% in August, industry counters misleading claims: ICEA
The India Cellular & Electronics Association (ICEA) said smartphone exports in August 2025 increased by 39% year-on-year, countering claims of a decline, and cautioned against drawing inferences from month-on-month comparisons without context.
ICEA reported that exports increased from $1.09 billion in August 2024 to approximately $1.53 billion in August 2025, with shipments to the United States more than doubling. Exports to the US increased by 148% to $965 million in August 2025, compared to $388 million in August 2024.
