Analyst View: Counterpoint on India's Growth Drivers
According to Counterpoint Research, Apple's India performance was driven by strong MacBook Neo adoption, alongside continued demand for the iPhone 17 series, even as iPhone supplies remained constrained. The research firm expects Apple to post single-digit volume growth but double-digit value growth in India during calendar year 2026.
- Primary growth driver: Strong MacBook Neo adoption
- Sustained demand: iPhone 17 series
- Supply constraint: iPhone supplies remained constrained
- CY2026 forecast: Single-digit volume growth; double-digit value growth
Counterpoint's outlook implies value growth in India will outpace unit growth during calendar 2026. The forecast, combined with the record June-quarter revenue performance cited by Apple, underscores India's position in the company's global growth mix, as reported by Business Today.
