There was a time when India used to import smartphones from other countries but now the situation has changed. Big companies like Apple and Samsung are making phones in India and sending them all over the world. This is not just a business but a big victory to strengthen India. Due to good government policies, hardworking people and big market, India is now becoming a big hub of smartphone manufacturing. This change is a matter of pride for the country and Smartphone Exports from India will grow even further in the coming years
‘Made in India’ smartphone shipments in India grew by 6% in 2024, with Apple and Samsung contributing 94% to exports. According to Counterpoint’s ‘Make in India’ report, both these companies have rapidly increased production in India to strengthen the country in the global supply chain and reduce dependence on imports. The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme of the Government of India has also prompted these brands to manufacture more in India.
Samsung retains first position
Samsung retained its position as India’s No. 1 smartphone maker in 2024, with sales growing 7%. The company’s exports also grew 13%, keeping its market share strong. Vivo, on the other hand, secured the second spot with a 14% year-on-year growth. Foxconn Hon Hai’s production also grew 19%, mainly due to the iPhone 14, iPhone 15 and iPhone 13. Oppo, on the other hand, suffered a setback and slipped to the fourth spot, as its shipments declined 34%.

TATA Electronics became the fastest growing smartphone maker in 2024, with production growing 107%. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 models contributed significantly to this. Dixon emerged as the No. 1 manufacturer in the entire mobile handset market (smartphones and feature phones). Strong shipments from Transition Brands and Motorola further strengthened the company’s hold in the market. Dixon also reported a 39% year-on-year growth in smartphones. New partnerships with Transition Brands and Realme played a key role in this.
India becomes major hub for smartphone manufacturing
Smartphone manufacturing in India is growing rapidly, providing a great opportunity for companies around the world. Many global brands are now spreading their production to different countries so as not to depend too much on a single country. India is becoming a strong manufacturing hub as it has a large market, cheap labor and government support schemes. Smartphone production in India may grow rapidly in 2025 and the number of locally manufactured parts is also expected to increase.
