Global Smartwatch Shipments decline 2% in Q1 2025; Apple leads amid rising Chinese brands
The global smartwatch market saw a 2% year-over-year (YoY) decline in shipments during the first quarter of 2025, signaling a period of stabilization after years of rapid growth. According to the counterpoint research, despite the dip, Apple retained its position as the market leader, capturing 20% of global shipments. It was followed by Huawei with 16% and Xiaomi with 10%, both of which showed significant growth. Apple slips as Chinese brands accelerate Among the top 10 smartwatch brands, Huawei and Xiaomi registered the fastest YoY growth, driven by strong domestic demand and expansion in emerging markets. Apple, on the other hand, experienced a 9% YoY decline, primarily due to waning consumer interest. Industry analysts point to the lack of significant innovations in recent Apple Watch models as a key factor, with many users opting to hold off on upgrades. Apple's market share has also seen notable fluctuations over recent quarters. While it led with 31% share in Q4 2023, its share dropped to 20% in Q1 2025, reflecting a seasonal slowdown and intensifying competition. The 'Others' category — encompassing all non-Apple brands — accounted for 80% of the market in Q1 2025, underscoring the growing diversity of options available to consumers. China emerged as the top contributor to global smartwatch shipments this quarter, accounting for 29% of total volume. The country also recorded the highest YoY shipment growth at 40%, fueled by robust performance from Huawei, BBK (Imoo), and Xiaomi. This surge highlights China's role as both a major manufacturing hub and a fast-growing consumer market for wearables. In North America, High-Level Operating System (HLOS) smartwatches dominated with an 84% share, led by Apple, Samsung, and Garmin.

Andaman LG discontinues 'No Dues Certificate' for property registration
The Lieutenant Governor of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Vice Chairman of Islands Development Agency (IDA), Admiral D K Joshi (Retired) has approved major reforms in the Revenue department by discontinuing 'No Dues Certificate' and 'Non-Encumbrance Certificate' while registering a property. A statement issued by the Lieutenant Governor's office on Friday claimed that the decision was taken to promote ease of doing business. "The discontinuation of 'No Dues Certificate' and 'Non-Encumbrance Certificate' will be effective from June 9," it said. While elaborating more, a senior Raj Niwas official, said, "Earlier, these certificates were mandatory while registration of any property to ascertain any revenue due. The administration under the guidance of Lieutenant Governor felt that since the Sub-Registrar verifies revenue receipts during property registration, there is no need to get separate 'No Dues Certificate' and 'Non-Encumbrance Certificate'. This will bring a huge relief for the Islanders." Another major decision taken by the Lieutenant Governor was the abolition of 'valuation certificates'. "All concerned officials were asked to discontinue 'valuation certificates' which they used to ask during property-related matters. No other states and union territory follows this practice and therefore it will also be disconnected. Property valuation will now be based strictly on notified circle rates, taking into account various determining factors," the official statement said. It further said, "In an effort to improve fuel accessibility across the islands, Andaman and Nicobar Islands Integrated Development Corporation Limited (ANIIDCO) has been authorized to open new petrol pumps wherever demand exists. Necessary approvals will be taken as required, enabling a more demand-driven approach to fuel distribution.". The Lieutenant Governor also discontinued the Revenue Department's mandatory annual survey requirement for boat license renewal with immediate effect. "With the implementation of the new Inland Vessels Act and associated rules, the responsibility for vessel surveys now lies with the chief surveyor or designated surveyors of inland vessels, not with the Revenue department," the official statement added.
