India's smartphone production was on the rise in 2025, but strong headwinds await
"Smartphone manufacturing in India recorded an 8% growth year-over-year in 2025, fueled by a 28% year-over-year surge in exports and a modest 1% increase in domestic shipments."
"Foxconn Hon Hai, Apple's main contractor, had a particularly strong showing with an impressive 48% YoY growth, while Tata Electronics also contributed to the exports."
"The electronics manufacturing industry became the third largest export category in the fiscal year 2025, driven largely by smartphones, and is expected to become the second largest category in FY2026."
"Analysts suggest that India should diversify its production lines and shift its focus to laptops and tablets, as these segments will provide longer-term success."
In 2025, smartphone manufacturing in India experienced an 8% year-over-year growth, primarily due to a 28% surge in exports. Exports represented one-third of total production. Foxconn Hon Hai achieved a remarkable 48% growth, while Tata Electronics also contributed significantly. Samsung's exports grew only 4%. The electronics manufacturing sector became the third largest export category, with expectations to rise to second in FY2026. Despite strong growth from companies like Dixon Technologies, challenges such as rising memory chip prices and market declines suggest a need for diversification into laptops and tablets.
