Micromax has made it to the top 10 vendors in terms
worldwide mobile phone sales in the first quarter with 1.8 percent market
share, according to data released by the research firm. Gartner also has
claimed that the worldwide smartphone sales saw a 19 percent growth in the
first quarter of 2015.
Micromax in a press statement revealed that it received
overwhelming response to the Canvas series including the new handsets such as
Canvas Spark, Canvas Knight, and Canvas Fire among others. Unfortunately,
Gartner's report on worldwide mobile phone (feature phones and smartphones
combined) sales to end users in Q1 2015 doesn't clarify whether sales of the
Yu-branded smartphone have also been included or not.
Samsung still retains the top spot with 21.3 percent market
share closely followed by Apple with a market share of 13.1 percent in the
first quarter, according to Gartner. Microsoft and LG follow next with 7.2 and
4.3 percent markets share respectively. Lenovo with a 4.2 percent share rounds
off the top 5 vendors in the first quarter of 2015, and Gartner says results
for Lenovo include sales of mobile phones by Lenovo and Motorola. Huawei is
next with 4.0 percent share, followed by Xiaomi with 3.2 percent, TCL
Communication with 3.1 percent, ZTE with 2.7 percent, and finally, Micromax
with 1.8 percent - rising 0.1 percent from Q1 2014.
"Worldwide mobile phone sales to end users totalled
460.3 million units during the first quarter of 2015, a 2.5 percent increase
from the same period in 2014. In light of their strong smartphone sales in the
emerging markets, the Indian and Chinese phone manufacturers increased their
footprint during the first quarter of 2015. Six of them were in the top 10 in
the first quarter of 2015," said Anshul Gupta, research director at
Gartner.
Last year, Micromax overtook Apple and reached the second
position in the tablet market in India in Q2 with 14 percent market-share,
according to the International Data Corporation (IDC).
