Number Of Apple iPhone Consumers In India To Cross The Mark Of 10 Million In 2018
Apple is ready to be the 11th handset brand in India to have over 10 Million consumers in the nation, as per a fresh report issued last week. As of end of last year, there were 8.9 Million iPhone consumers in the country and with an inclusion of predictable 3 Million units this year, the firm will surpass the mark of 10 Million, as per information offered by Mobilytiks.
Now, Mobilytiks is a big data analytics program by market research company CMR (CyberMedia Research) for mobile smartphones rolled out in the country. On the other hand, if Apple agrees to go hostile with its assembly strategies in India, the mark will be attained shortly through the year since that will offer Apple the entry into market of mid premium handsets via iPhone SE and other previously variants of iPhone, claimed the report.

On the other hand, in a market that price sensitive where 56% of the handsets traded are still in the category of Rs 10,000, attaining a milestone of 10 Million active consumers is an extraordinary accomplishment, claimed the report. Apple shall attain this milestone regardless of its “Make in India” plan with the average level of 3 Million exports it performs every year, it claimed.
