India Consumer Electronics Market Trends and Drivers:

India's consumer electronics market is riding a powerful wave of transformation, fueled by rising incomes, expanding internet access, and a tech-savvy younger generation that's reshaping how the country shops and consumes technology. The market is being propelled by smartphones, wearables, and smart home devices that are becoming everyday essentials rather than luxury items. Government initiatives are playing a major role here—programs like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme are bringing serious investment and manufacturing muscle to the sector.

The PLI scheme has been a game-changer. In March 2025, the government approved a substantial INR 22,919 crore scheme specifically targeting non-semiconductor electronics components. This initiative is expected to attract INR 59,350 crore in investments and generate INR 4.56 lakh crore in production over six years, while creating 91,600 direct jobs. By October 2025, electronics-parts makers had already committed over INR 1.15 lakh crore across 249 applications—clear evidence that manufacturers are betting big on India's electronics future. The scheme focuses on critical components like multi-layer PCBs, camera modules, and other essential parts that form the backbone of consumer electronics.

The smartphone segment continues to dominate the landscape. In 2024, India's smartphone market reached 151 million units shipped, representing steady growth despite some quarterly fluctuations. What's particularly interesting is the premiumization trend—consumers are increasingly willing to pay more for better features and brands. Apple, for instance, shipped 12 million units in 2024, marking a 34.6% increase and making India its fourth-largest market globally after the USA, China, and Japan. The iPhone 15 became one of the highest-shipped models, demonstrating strong appetite for premium devices. Meanwhile, 5G smartphones have taken off dramatically, accounting for 79% of total shipments compared to just 55% the previous year.

The wearables segment is experiencing its own evolution. Smart home devices are seeing remarkable adoption rates, with smart fans and smart air conditioners registering a 37% increase in purchases through platforms like Alexa. This isn't just about convenience—it's about status, energy savings, and the allure of cutting-edge technology. IoT integration and artificial intelligence are making these devices smarter and more personalized, creating experiences that feel almost futuristic. As urbanization accelerates and younger consumers gain purchasing power, smart home devices are transitioning from novelty to necessity.

E-commerce platforms have democratized access to consumer electronics in ways that traditional retail never could. They're offering competitive pricing, doorstep delivery, and most importantly, reaching consumers in tier 2 and tier 3 cities who previously had limited access to the latest technology. This expansion beyond metros is crucial—it's unlocking demand from millions of first-time buyers who are entering the digital economy. Online and offline channels are now splitting the market almost evenly, each contributing around 50% of smartphone sales, showing that omnichannel strategies are essential for success.

The direct-to-consumer business model is gaining momentum, powered by increasing smartphone and internet penetration. Companies are bypassing traditional retail chains to connect directly with buyers, and corrugated packaging—lightweight, sustainable, and cost-effective—is playing a supporting role in ensuring products reach customers safely. This shift is particularly visible in how brands are using social media and digital marketing to create communities around their products.

Local manufacturing has received a significant boost. India now manufactures 99% of its smartphones domestically, a dramatic shift that has reduced import dependence. According to industry reports, mobile phone exports surged from INR 228 billion in 2020-2021 to INR 1.2 trillion in 2023-2024. This isn't just about assembly—companies are increasingly investing in component manufacturing to create a more integrated supply chain. The government's "China Plus One" strategy is positioning India as an attractive alternative for electronics manufacturing in global supply chains, particularly as companies look to diversify away from single-country dependencies.
