India Poised to Produce One-Fifth of Global Smartphones Amid Supply Chain Shifts
India is rapidly emerging as a significant hub in the global smartphone manufacturing industry, potentially accounting for one-fifth of global production within the next one to two years. This growth is driven by companies diversifying supply chains away from China due to disruptions and geopolitical tensions. While India currently focuses on assembly with limited domestic value addition, efforts are underway to develop technological and design capabilities. Major firms like Apple and Google have begun manufacturing or assembling devices in India, contributing to rising electronics exports and integration into global supply chains.
