In India, over 80% of mobile phone models have recorded an average price increase of more than 15%. This trend, identified by analysts at Counterpoint Research, is attributed to successive price hikes, leaner specifications, and a slowdown in the launch of new models. With around 200 models available, the significant price rise indicates a potential demand slowdown in the market. Analysts suggest that consumers should prepare for further price adjustments as the mobile industry adapts to changing market conditions and consumer preferences. The decrease in new launches may also contribute to this trend, reflecting a broader shift in the mobile phone landscape in India.
