<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: India’s wearables market<\/a> comprising earwear, wristband, and watch, defeated supply chain-related issues and grew by 93.8% year-over-year (YoY) in the 3Q21 (July-September), shipping 23.8 million units, according to the latest data from International Data Corporation (IDC<\/a>).

Shipments in September alone surpassed 10 million units, rising two-fold on a year-over-year basis, resulting in a record quarter for wearable
devices<\/a> in India, IDC said.

Watches continued to be the fastest-growing category with 4.3 million shipments in 3Q21 even as the wristband category declined annually for the seventh quarter in a row.

In the watch category, Indian brands captured over two-thirds of the market share with their aggressive offerings and marketing spend on digital platforms, IDC said.

Noise<\/a> maintained its lead for the sixth straight quarter with a 26% market share in 3Q21, followed by BoAt with a 23.1% market share. Fire-Boltt replaced Huami for the third position as its share jumped to 15.3% in 3Q21 from 5.5% from a quarter before. Realme<\/a> entered the fourth position backed by its newly launched watches, and Amazfit settled at the fifth position.

“While seasonality made 3Q21 the biggest quarter for
wearables<\/a>, the influx of devices at the entry-level was the key growth factor. Throughout the quarter, Indian vendors were aggressive with their launches and channel expansion,” Anisha Dumbre, Market Analyst, Client Devices, IDC India.

Supply chain issues to impact India’s smartphone shipments in Q4, says IDC<\/a><\/h2>

India's smartphone market registered a year-over-year (YoY) decline of 12% in 3Q21 (Jul-Sep), shipping 48 million units after four consecutive quarters of growth. Much of this can be attributed to component shortages as well as an unusually high 3Q20 comparison base whereas this year’s post-lockdown demand was addressed by July, IDC said.<\/p><\/div>
