Amazon India Reports Electronics Volume Slowdown Amid Rising Prices Ahead of Festival Season
Amazon India is experiencing a slowdown in electronics sales volumes ahead of the festive season due to rising device prices driven by chip and memory shortages. Despite the volume softness, the overall value of electronics sales continues to grow, as price increases offset lower unit sales. Smartphones, a key category during festivals, are notably affected, with memory prices rising significantly. Amazon is focusing on affordability through offers and financing to address consumer caution amid these price pressures.
