Homegrown company boAt<\/a> maintained its lead for the fourth successive quarter with a 426% year-over-year growth and 37% share of the total shipments.
Aggressive marketing, celebrity endorsements and ‘value for money’ offerings helped it maintain the dominating position in the market, Counterpoint said adding that inventory of its Airdopes 131 during Flipkart<\/a>’s Big Savings Day sale in Q2 was another driver for its growth.
OnePlus<\/a> and Realme<\/a> took second and third place in the market, with 12% and 10% share, respectively. The brands leveraged their existing smartphone user base to grow their presence in the TWS market<\/a>.
The popularity of Buds Z has also helped OnePlus capture the second spot in the growing market while Realme maintained its position in the top 5 brands owing to affordable launches.
Noise move up one step to take the fourth spot in 2Q21 with a 117% year-over-year growth and 8% share.
“In the next quarter, we will see the entry of more brands (like Nothing Ear, Dizo and Micromax) across price tiers to grab a larger share of this untapped market. Some of the new entrants in Q2 2021 were Lava<\/a>, Aiwa and TCL<\/a>. Low-cost offerings have provided the necessary boost to this segment,” said
Senior Research Analyst Anshika Jain.
Jain added that the share of the Rs 1,000-2,000 price band grew to 60% of the total shipments in 2Q21, compared to the same quarter last year.
Though the market’s growth slowed in April due to Covid-19 restrictions, including on e-commerce platforms but the pent-up demand helped drive momentum in the next two months (May & June), Jain said.
“Players are looking to make these devices<\/a> locally to reap the benefits of the government’s PLI (Production-Linked Incentive) scheme,” said Research Associate Anam Padha.
For instance, Padha added, Mivi<\/a> is the second brand after pTron to launch a Made-in-India TWS product while boAT has also decided to shift its manufacturing base to India.
“The latest entrant, Aiwa, is also exploring a similar possibility, which indicates that more brands are likely to follow this path to offer new features at low price points,” Padha said.
