Due to the second wave of COVID and the lockdown imposed in various states, smartphone shipments in the country could see a 15 to 20 percent drop in the second quarter of 2021 (April-June period). A new report claimed this on Monday. According to market intelligence company CMR, smartphone brands will be affected due to disruptions in the supply chain and lack of components.
On behalf of analyst-industry intelligence group CMR, Anand Priya Singh said that although the current market situation is fine, but we remain optimistic about the prospects of the smartphone industry.
