The report on the Indian mobile market is published for the full year as well as Q4 2018 in Counterpoint Research.

As we mentioned, Reliance Jio became the market leader in all types of handsets in 2018 with a market share of 21%.
" India is still the world's largest phone volume market. In India and the Middle East, nearly 3/4th of the world's phone sales are being conducted in 2018, "said Tarun Pathak, Associate Director, Counterpoint.
" With their compelling value proposition over normal 2 G feature phones, Reliance Jio captured 38% of the feature phone segment in just over a year, "he says. Pathak added: "In addition, Jio 's' Monsoon Hungama ' offer to upgrade 2 G phone users has helped to boost sales in the second half of 2018."
Back to smartphones, Counterpoint points out that Xiaomi had a 2 8% share of the market during the full year, whereas Samsung had a 24% share, Vivo had a 10% share, Oppo had 8%, Micromax had a 5% share with another 25%.

Anshika Jain, Research Analyst at Counterpoint Research, commented on the competition landscape: "The competitive landscape has changed markedly over the last year. We saw key players gaining share, as smaller brands came out of the market with increased competition. That doesn't mean, though, that new players have no room. In Q2, 2018, Realme entered the top five brands, reaching over 4 million users faster than any of the other brands in the fourth quarter of 2018. We hope brands will consolidate their positions through multi-channel and aggressive product strategies to target customers in other cities than Tier 2 and Tier 3."
