A Comparative Study of Indian Smartphone Manufacturing Ecosystem with Global Best Practices for Strategic Insights

Abstract

In this study we provide an overview of ecosystem indices of successfully smartphone manufacturing countries like China, USA, Taiwan, and South Korea by comparing some key parameters with that of peer average. The main purpose of this research is to compare various key manufacturing statistical parameters of other countries with that of India. It also brings out the current state of manufacturing in India, the market potential and the institutional frameworks developed to create an ecosystem conducive for manufacturing to grow. A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis is performed across all countries and analyzed for working out the SWOT matrix in Indian context to help formulating the strategy.
