Samsung's first shipment was 15.2 billion mobile phones topped the list.
Smartphones in India are a prime target for many mobile** producers. Chinese companies once dominated most of India's market, but as India continues to focus its attention on Samsung, it has carved out a new frontier in India.
According to figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics, smartphone sales in India reached 190 million units by 2023. Samsung is in first place, with an 18% market share for the first time since 2017. In second place are Chinese mobile** such as vivo, Xiaomi, realme, oppo, which shows that Chinese companies are making huge profits from India's smartphone market. India is actually very unhappy about this.
The move comes at a time when India has made it clear that it wants Chinese companies to accelerate the expansion of its ** chain to help India-made products. According to them, India urgently needs to improve"Made in India", however, only the iPhone is the most important. In contrast, in the Indian market, Chinese mobile phones, which have long been making money and occupy the lion's share, perceive the Indian market only to make money, rather than generating value on their own exports.
So India is also trying to get Chinese companies to move their ** chain to India, so that they can sell domestic mobile ** to India.
In their opinion, disobedience is normal. According to the shipment statistics in 2023, China's handheld devices accounted for 17% and 16 respectively5%,12%,10.5%。Both companies have a market share of more than 50%. However, because their profits in India are very high, they set their sights on the Indian market, and when they sell abroad, they basically focus on mainland production. For us, they don't forget their roots, but for the Indian market, it's not very flattering.
On the other hand, if foreign companies come to the mainland to do this, I am afraid that we will not be at ease.
Actually, it's not the fault of the Chinese company, it's the fault of the Chinese company.
First of all, due to the transfer of iPhone production capacity, smartphone production in India has formed a gradually maturing industrial chain. Historically, China's mobile ** was the first to enter the market, and it has been expanding, and has built a good ** chain over the years. In this sense, they may be able to bring more foreign investment to India.
But how do they deal with Chinese companies? Opaque regulations, duplicate checks, and dispossession of payments can all be used"Ungrateful"to describe. However, it would be naïve to expect that China's mobile** manufacturers will bring them more added value.
Secondly, as the phones produced in India have received a lot of criticism in terms of good quality and good quality, like the earlier iPhone 15. Chinese companies are already working hard abroad, and if they still make in India, won't it ruin our reputation? The author believes that instead of being satisfied with the current situation, it is better to improve the quality of domestic mobile phones. Of course, local employees in India have also said that their products are not as good as those made on the mainland. Therefore, Huaxia's company has put most of its energy on China.
Perhaps India has forgotten that the reason Apple moved its production capacity away from the United States was that it had to diversify its production, and it was very expensive to set up factories there. Chinese companies, perhaps really Chinese companies, have to face two kinds of products, India and the mainland, constantly playing games, which one to choose, is it needless to say?
