While the mobile handset industry faced multiple challenges with respect to their supply and demand side dynamics, the industry looks set on the path to a potential recovery in the coming months," said Amit Sharma, Manager-Industry Intelligence Group, CMR.The initial consumer demand in the unlock phase was driven predominantly through online channels and driven by need for urgent replacements."Facing up to the pandemic, smartphone brands debuted innovative hyperlocal delivery models, some of which have the potential to gain permanence," Sharma added.The path to potential recovery will be led by pent-up consumer demand, driven by need for upgrades.In the run-up to the festive season, consumers will seek to go for meaningful value propositions that bring devices and compelling content ecosystem offerings, together."This, coupled by smartphone brands bringing more value for money offerings and backed by aggressive messaging, will potentially drive the market," said Sharma.Thus far, a key challenge for the smartphone market in India to grow has been the inability to offer value propositions that will help feature phone users to migrate to smartphones."We believe recent announcements, such as the Jio-Google deal, augur well for the future of the mobile handset industry in India, and in potentially enabling the migration of feature phones to smartphone users, with its focus on driving affordability," said analyst Anand Priya Singh.IANS New Delhi For Latest Updates Please-
