OEM Vendor Market Share in India, 2023
Chinese OEMs are witnessing a rising market share in India. In the chart below, Xiaomi has the largest market share of 26.49% in India, while Samsung is at 17%, followed by Vivo and Realme at 15.38% and 12.54%, respectively.
Push Notification Delivery Rates on Android Devices, 2023
Push Notification delivery rates differ with each OEM manufacturer. Chinese OEMs such as Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo have OS-level customizations that restrict background app activity to optimize battery and device performance. This disconnects customers’ devices from Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). And the end result is a lower Push Notification delivery.
Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo devices have one of the lowest Push Notification delivery rates compared to Samsung and OnePlus devices.
With Chinese OEMs’ having the lion’s market shares in India, it’s essential that you improve your Push Notification delivery rates.

Correlation Between Time To Live (TTL) And Reachability Across Industries
The pre-set time frame that you set for your Push Notification campaigns to be delivered is the Campaign Time To Live (TTL) in MoEngage’s dashboard. Push Notification delivery rates vary depending on your Campaign’s Time To Live (TTL).
The type of app and its usage recency and frequency influence Push Notification delivery rates. The reason for this is that some apps have higher usage than others. For example, shopping apps have a higher usage frequency compared to hotel booking apps.
If the TTL time window is high, FCM tries to re-attempt Push Notification deliveries that previously went undelivered due to various reasons.
The limitations of the FCM-only path in Push Notification delivery don’t impact Push Amplification®. This means you can grow your Northstar Metrics significantly with a boost in your customer engagement and conversion metrics.
