Samsung gaining fruitful growth in key market, Xiaomi surrendered?
Xiaomi dominated the world’s second-largest smartphone market – India – for the past five years. However, consumers in India no longer prefer Xiaomi’s good-looking cheap smartphones, as Samsung is now focussing on advancing its Galaxy A series.

According to data compiled by Counterpoint Research via (Reuters), Xiaomi’s smartphone market radically plunged in India. In 2022, the Chinese phone maker kept the crown in the first three quarters, which transferred to Samsung at last, ending a five-year streak of dominance.
Samsung’s focus on mid-range portfolio and anti-China sentiments
Counterpoint data consists of market share records of the Indian smartphone industry since the end of 2017. As you can see in the chart below, Xiaomi was the market leader in almost every quarter, as Samsung started to lose its grip from Q2 2018 through Q1 2020.
During this time period, the South Korean tech giant didn’t think about Xiaomi’s expansion in the country, which gave an easy lead to rivals. At the same time, Samsung didn’t bring affordable phones with rock-solid specs to warm up the competition.
Seeing the downturn, Samsung restarted to focus on its Galaxy A lineup to gain the market share that it handed over to Xiaomi. This bold move helped the Korean vendor to spread its reach among consumers with affordable phones, better specs, longer software support, and secure/reliable phones.
During the same period, anti-China sentiments started to spread in the Indian smartphone market due to a severe military clash in late 2020. Due to consumers boycott of Chinese products, Xiaomi saw a market decline, which ended up surrendering dominance to Samsung in the last quarter.
In 2023, Samsung will continue to grow in the Indian smartphone, which the research chart heavily indicates. At the same time, the market decline of Xiaomi is expected to be continued further, giving an easy win to Samsung and hopes to Apple.
In the past, semiconductor firms including Samsung have developed products focusing on how much smaller and more transistors can be integrated into a chip of the same size. Earlier, “Gordon Moore” predicted that ‘the density of semiconductors doubles every 24 months’, and this is the well-known “Moore’s Law.”

‘Moore’s Law’ has changed little by little following the speed of semiconductor technology development, but has been followed for more than 50 years. As the era of smartphones, mobile Internet, AI, and Big Data has arrived, the required computing power is rapidly increasing.
Since the pace of progress and innovation in semiconductor technology has slowed, the miniaturization of semiconductor processes has reached its physical limit, so the rate of increase in integration has slowed. In other words, ‘Moore’s Law’ is approaching its limit.
Samsung’s “Beyond Moore” approach
Industry wants a versatile semiconductor that integrates various functions into one. As the process is miniaturized, there is a problem that analog performance deteriorates, and it is true that it is difficult to efficiently respond to these demands only with process miniaturization based on Moore’s Law.
Through advanced Heterogeneous Integration technology that connects multiple semiconductors horizontally and vertically, it is possible to integrate more transistors in a smaller semiconductor package, and a more powerful performance that surpasses the performance of each. can provide.
Research institutes show that the high-tech package market is expected to record high growth at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2021 to 2027. Particularly, 2.5D and 3D packages using heterogeneous integration technology are expected to grow by more than 14% annually.

At this event, Samsung The Wall was used to provide participants with a high-resolution and large-scale immersive viewing experience, maximizing the visual effect at the moment the vehicle was unveiled.
The highlight of the event was, of course, the unveiling of the limited edition ‘ 911 Carrera Panamericana Special’, launched to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the Porsche sports car.
The video showing the process from the first Porsche model that successfully completed the legendary 1952 “Panamericana Mexico” racing competition to the present left a deep impression on the participants.
The video was screened on The Wall’s all-in-one super-large screen, and the story commemorating Porsche’s historic achievements in traditional long-distance endurance races over several days was evaluated to have been further enhanced with the lively colors of The Wall.
“For Samsung, it has been an honor to partner with Porsche in creating this event which showcases the highest quality image technology available in the Mexican market,” said Ana Laura Lira, director of B2B sales at Samsung Electronics Mexico.
Know Samsung’s The Wall
The Wall can be installed in a modular form, so it can be placed in any design you want regardless of shape, proportion, or size. In addition, The Wall at this event provided a highly immersive experience by eliminating the boundary between the screen and the wall through a near-zero bezel.
The Wall boasts a high standard not only in size but also in terms of image quality. The “Neural Quantum Processor” installed in The Wall analyzes, optimizes, and displays images, and the “Black Seal” technology controls the contrast ratio and details to express a near-perfect black color.
Moreover, Samsung’s premium display is packed with “Ultra Chroma” technology to enable intense and natural color production, and the narrower color wavelength implements more accurate colors than existing LED displays, providing a realistic viewing experience.
