9 years, 2 billion units shipped!Made in India, the success of breaking the ** chain blockade?
Now, India has been hyped"Made in India catches up with Made in China"of remarks.
If you look at these previous remarks, you may scoff at India's strength as not worthy of India's manufacturing ambitions. However, as the saying goes, today the Indian mobile phone manufacturing industry really has to make us re-examine it.
According to the data published by Counterpoint, hit"Make in India goes out of India"It took India nine years to export 2 billion euros worth of complete machines abroad. Especially last year, 16% of the products were exported to other countries. What's more, India's smartphone exports totaled Rs 200 billion in April-May this year, up from Rs 90 billion last year.
This set of data undoubtedly tells the outside world that India's domestic smartphone industry is indeed developing and growing, and even the production of mobile phone parts is developing in the Indian market. As a result, many Indians threaten that India may catch up with China, even if they think the time is not far off.
Some people say that the reason why India's smartphone manufacturing industry has achieved its current results is actually because of it"Rob"Chains are inseparable. Of course, this statement may be a bit harsh, but it is true. In the past, when India started to start"Made in India"When it is ambitious, it is more through subsidies, demographic dividends and other means to attract more complete machines to ship from the Indian market. However, less than two years later, the Indian authorities began to flex their muscles.
One of the means is to raise the overall tax on mobile phones, with a maximum tax rate of 20%. The second move is to pass tax reform, to mobile phone manufacturers and some component manufacturers"A bowl of water is flat"。
To put it bluntly, these two means are to grab the first chain, because the first one obviously gives mobile phone manufacturers a choice, either to give up the Indian market or to build a factory in the Indian market. However, the Indian market is a very important market for mobile phone manufacturers, so it is difficult to give up, and in order to reduce costs, it can only migrate to the industrial chain of the Indian market. When the initial stage of the layout is stabilized, the rhetoric of appearing in the Indian market to make money will run out. Therefore, if India wants to truly develop its own mobile phone manufacturing industry, it really has to rely on these inexplicable means.
Well, in such a context, based on such data, the Indian manufacturing industry is really"Catch"Is the chain successful?
Personally, I think that at first glance it is indeed a success, and we cannot deny that in the mobile phone chain, the ecology tends to be perfect, which also makes them begin to have more confidence in themselves. It's just that if you look at it at a deeper level, India's ** chain may not be"Robust"success.
To put it bluntly, the success of the current mobile phone chain comes from abroad, such as Xiaomi, Foxconn and other foreign-funded enterprises to enter the Indian market, and the local manufacturing chain is simply weak. If this is the case, once these manufacturers withdraw, they will not be able to produce this part of the product independently. Secondly, when it comes to mobile phone components**, many companies still rely on imports from the African continent, such as Apple, which means that 90% of the components come from the continent.
Finally, although many companies have taken a fancy to the Indian market and have set up factories in India, they have become more cautious through various means, such as Foxconn to relocate the production chain, but their plan is five or even ten years, such a long time, who knows what will change in the future?In short, the uncertainty is too obvious.
We have to admit that nowadays"Made in India"Smartphones do have to look great, but it would be an exaggeration to say that they are just catching up with us. To catch up with us, we have to strengthen our local products. What are your thoughts on this?Please comment, like and share!
