India outpaces Japan to become third largest global smartphone market For years, the biggest markets for smartphones has been the US, China and Japan. Now, a new report by Strategy Analytics shows that India has displaced Japan as the third largest global smartphone market in the first quarter of 2013. This is the first time that India has ever featured in the third spot. The top markets for smartphones remains US and China, though. This shift is occurring due to the increased focus that smartphone makers like Samsung and Apple are putting on the Indian market. Local players like Micromax are also diverting much of their resources to increasing the volume of smartphones in the country. Better distribution network is another factor that is helping in the increased smartphone volume, according to the analyst.
