said Sanyam Chaurasia, Principal Analyst at Canalys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">&#8220;The market only grew 1% despite vendors front-loading inventory, indicating tepid demand in an increasingly pressured economic environment and a widening gap between sell-in and sell-through,&#8221; said Runar Bjorhovde, Senior Analyst at Canalys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">The share of U.S. smartphone shipments assembled in China fell from 61% in the second quarter of 2024 to 25% in the second quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">India picked up most of the decline, with Indian-made smartphone volume growing 240% year-on-year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">iPhone shipments declined by 11% while Samsung (<a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/005930.KS\" data-ylk=\"slk:005930.KS;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">005930.KS<\/a>) shipments grew 38% in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">(Reporting by Zaheer Kachwala in Bengaluru;
