Why India became the choice for Apple?
There are multiple reasons for the same. First being the fact that India is the world’s fastest-growing smartphone market. India has also surpassed the US in 2015, and thus, make a strong case for Apple to set up their stores in India and then to reap the benefits of a large software development resource pool.
Secondly, revenue in the October-December period in India surged 38 percent, exceeding the 11 percent growth in overall emerging markets and 14 percent in Greater China. Also, Apple’s iPhone sales volumes have grown to 76 percent in India compared with 45 percent in Korea, Africa and the Middle East.
Also, earlier Tim Cook had shown faith in the Indian market by saying, ‘During hard times like now, it provides an opportunity to invest in newer markets such as India where there are long-term prospects.’
