India has had border issues with China for the past two months. At the same time, the two countries’ armies have been involved in a clash last week and there have been casualties. In such a situation, various political and social organizations in India have called for a boycott of Chinese products across India.
One of the reasons for such a boycott is that Chinese products dominate the market for a wide range of products from the Indian smartphone market.
According to a report from the country, four of the five largest smartphone companies in India are from China. Samsung, the only company outside of China, is in the top five. That is Samsung from South Korea. However, Xiaomi has occupied the top spot in the market.
As of the first quarter of this year, the Chinese brand Xiaomi alone has a 30 per cent market share in the Indian smartphone market. Shaomi has the highest market share in the country. Even now, Xiaomi has been able to establish a good position in the country’s laptop market.
Another Chinese brand, Vivo, has 18 percent of the country’s mobile market. The brand has lost 3 percent of its shares this year. In the last quarter of 2019, Vivo’s share was 20 percent.
As a new smartphone brand, another Chinese brand Realmy has managed to capture 14% share in the Indian market. The market share in the country is increasing day by day.
Apo holds 12 percent market share. Another Chinese brand, OnePlus, has a large stake in the premium segment.
But when Chinese smartphones have dominated the Indian market so much, the question is whether India’s own brand can easily capture the market.
