Made in India has taken an important step, Foxconn grabs the order of iPhone manufacturing!
Indians know that India is determined to make progress in the manufacturing sector. As a result, India has introduced many incentives, even some restrictions, in the hope that the Indian manufacturing industry can take it to the next level. At present, the production of Apple's mobile phone has become the focus of attention.
This is because iPhones are sold globally, and Cook intends to diversify his business by increasing the production capacity of iPhones in India. But India is well aware that this path is not real"Made in India"。India is going to be real"Made in India", the production of the iPhone must be handed over to an Indian company.
As a result, India's Tata Group acquired Wistron's iPhone assembly plant in India, resulting in an iPhone assembly order. Tata Motors is also partnering with another company to build a new iPhone assembly plant in India. As a result, India has taken a big step forward in producing its iPhones indigenously and increasing its production capacity.
Although Tata has yet to receive any new orders for iPhone assembly, industry experts believe the company will also play an important role in the iPhone assembly chain. At the same time, Apple has also said that it intends to work with Tata to get iPhone orders. As a result, Foxconn is losing orders to the Indian company ** iPhone.
With the growing iPhone assembly and contract manufacturing team, it is foreseeable that a new landscape will emerge in the field of iPhone contract manufacturing in the future. But Foxconn is a foundry after all, and even if Tata competes with it, it will continue to receive more orders. In addition, Foxconn has invested heavily in India to support local iPhone production. Coupled with India's interest in Foxconn, Foxconn should not have a problem getting more iPhone orders in India.
However, the signs of securing orders are already very clear, and it is only a matter of time before the industry takes a hit. In my opinion, getting orders from Foxconn is just the beginning.
There are two reasons: first, as I said earlier, India is very clear that India's manufacturing industry ultimately depends on Indian companies, and although Foxconn still occupies a large part of the OEM market, its future development is unknown. No matter how much they attach importance to it, they cannot compete with domestic enterprises.
Secondly, the acquisition of Wistron's iPhone assembly plant in India by a local company has also raised a lot of suspicion. Rumor has it that Wistron was forced to make this decision because it had already received too many orders for iPhone assembly and therefore did not need an Indian factory. What if the same thing happened to Foxconn?
Of course, not everyone understands this, but with the lessons of the past, Foxconn must also think about its own future. We need to try to diversify instead of concentrating all of our iPhone production capacity in India.
However, more and more iPhones will be produced in India, which is an inevitable trend that cannot be reversed no matter how hard you try. Therefore, it is best to follow the trend, reduce dependence on Apple, and look for other foundries that can help the company develop better. What are your thoughts on this?
