Soon, China became the manufacturing capital of the world. With an abundance of natural resources that provide materials needed for manufacturing, China has spread its arms with factories across many parts of Asia such as Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, or Cambodia, and even in Africa to meet the growing demand.
Masters of Innovation
China has remained the world’s largest smartphone market since 2012. According to a Statista report in 2020, smartphone shipments in China reached over 325 million units. Several phones launched in the Indian markets are manufactured in China. This includes smartphones from brands like Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus. Most of these brands sell their products exclusively online and offer extremely competitive prices. Known for latest technology and design, India cannot build innovation capacity that has led to heavy reliance on China. All top positions in smartphones are taken by foreign firms, including three Chinese ones. The few domestic manufacturers, such as Micromax, Karbonn, Lava, and Spice have collapsed badly.
