According to the latest research from Counterpoint’s IoT service, India’s TWS market has posted 156% YoY growth in Q1 2021. The segment experienced high growth during the first quarter but is likely to get affected in Q2 due to the lockdowns imposed in the majority of the country due to COVID19. During these lockdowns, the demand and supply of the products are likely to get hampered, affecting the market growth eventually.

However, there have been 5 players in the TWS market that have taken the lead as the ones with the most market share in terms of sales and popularity in Q1.

With the ‘Make in India’ initiative at large, and the quality of the products, three out of the five brands are of Indian origin. In fact, boAt has topped the list with 28% of the market share in Q1 2021, growing 576% YoY. These are the top 5 brands on the list.
