boycott Chinese products, boycott Chinese smartphones, made
in India smartphones: the issue of boycott of Chinese product after the
India-china dispute remains in discussion. But when Indians boycott Chinese
mobile, what will be the option left, know.
Ever since tensions
between India and China have increased, the issue of boycott of other Chinese
products, including smartphones, is in the news, especially on social media.
Industry experts believe that the anti-Chinese anti-sentiment may last for a
few weeks more than that because customers do not have any other options at
this time.
Canhalys research director Rushabh Doshi told The Indian
Express over the phone that there will be no impact in the short term as
customers have to buy phones and most Chinese smartphones are in the market at
the moment.
Rushab Doshi said that apart from Samsung, there is hardly
any other brand that offers value opportunities in the same price segment as
Chinese smartphone companies. Anti-China sentiments are not new to the Indian
market.
But despite this, the dominance of Chinese smartphone
manufacturers continues. Samsung is the only company in the top five in India
that has no affiliation with China. The research firm has explained that Xiaomi
is the smartphone market leader for a long time.
At the same time, BBK-owned brands such as Vivo, Oppo and
Realme makes products with a combined market share of more than 70 percent.
Navkendar Singh, research director at IDC India, agrees that customers have no
other option than to buy phones from Chinese companies.
He explained his point that from a customer point of view,
it is a pure value game and Chinese smartphone companies have been successful
in fulfilling it. A top retailer said that anti-China sentiment did not affect
Chinese branded phone sales.
Let us know that the top executive of a popular South
India-based smartphone retail chain said that there has been no decline in
Chinese smartphone sales this week. India has recently become the second-largest mobile phone manufacturing country in the world.
There are more than 200 mobile phone manufacturing units in
India. Chinese handset manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo have
invested in India by setting up distribution channels, manufacturing units and
R&D centers.
Some companies have their own manufacturing units, while
some companies hire contract manufacturers for assembling smartphones. Calling
the boycott of Chinese companies could prove to be a disastrous move as it
would collapse the entire smartphone ecosystem and could result in a crisis on
thousands of jobs.
Micromax has recently announced that the company is going to
launch its new smartphones in the market in the next few days. A source in the
retail industry has informed the Indian Express that Micromax has a total of 7
models in the pipeline. This means that in the coming days, we can see seven
Micromax handsets.
The Gurugram-based company was once the top mobile phone
manufacturer in India, but then Chinese smartphone maker companies brought
their smartphones to the budget segment. Navkendar Singh (Research Director
with IDC India, based in Gurgaon) said that I do not expect that Micromax,
Intex and Lava will start making great devices all at once.boycott Chinese
