India's Smartphone Manufacturing Grows 8% in 2025 with Exports Driving Expansion

India's smartphone manufacturing grew 8% in 2025, driven by a 28% rise in exports that now represent about one-third of total production. Domestic contract manufacturers like Dixon Technologies and Bhagwati Products have increased their market share, with Dixon surpassing Samsung in production volume. Export growth is supported by global brands and government incentives, while domestic sales remain nearly flat. Challenges such as geopolitical tensions and rising memory prices may affect future demand and logistics.
