Indian demand for smartphones in China's boycott, Can India Boycott China?
At the LAC earlier this week, where 20 Indian soldiers lost their lives, China's feeling of anti-China and hate for China's goods spread over social media like wildfire.
Users on all major platforms talked about boycotting products from China, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube comments.
This served as a fuel for burning, as China was not already mentioned as the source of the Covid-19 pandemic in many people's good books.
Okay, for those items you are using every day, it may be possible to go locally, but the concept is much harder to implement in the Indian smartphone industry. What is the reason? Read on. Read on, read on.
Chinese smartphone brands are the best in India at the present time. You are the clients that helped brands like Realme, Xiaomi, Vivo and others bounce to the top 5 ranks, with the only exception being the South Korean technology company Samsung.
These Chinese smartphon makers also joined India some years ago and moved local brands as a result of offering a greater value for money telephones, such as Micromax, Lava, Karbonn and others.
IDC estimates that Xiaomi had 31.2% share of the top cinco smart phone players, 21% share, 15.6% share for Samsung, 13.1% share for Realme and 8.5% share for Oppo during the first half of 2020.
And many of you may already know that Oppo, Vivo, Realme, iQoo and OnePlus, all of which are present in India, are essentially part of BBK Electronics, a Chinese giant.
The same (almost) statistics represent counterpoint analysis. In the first quarter of 2020, Xiaomi was able to gather 30%, followed by vivo, Samsung, Realme and Oppo, with 17%, 16%, 14% and 12%.
