An important supplement outside the Chinese market

As the world's second most populous country, India is following the growth trajectory of Chinese society. Compared with Chinese users who have upgraded their consumption in recent years, Indian consumers are more enthusiastic about cost-effective products. India has become a must for the Chinese mobile phone army.

A number of Chinese mobile phone brands, including Honor, vivo, OPPO, Gionee, etc., have rushed to the Indian market to expand their territory. With the "honest price", Xiaomi has become one of the best. It is reported that the price of Xiaomi with the same configuration is only two-thirds of the price of vivo and so on, so that it eventually pulled the "biggest" Samsung from the Indian market to the "throne." According to IDC data, in the second quarter of 2018, Xiaomi’s shipments in the Indian mobile phone market accounted for 29.4%.

In India, in addition to "Are You OK" on the platform by Lei Jun himself, Xiaomi has also become the first smartphone brand to provide Indian users with localized customized functions. In 2015, it launched the feature of visual dialing of public service numbers in India, which solved many problems in India. In the language environment, it takes a lot of time to listen to different language options and menus at all levels. In the follow-up, it also connected to Indian local taxi-hailing software, news aggregation, music listening software and other software, so that some Indians regarded Xiaomi as a brand launched by a local company.

In order to avoid fluctuations in tariffs and exchange rates, Xiaomi has cooperated with Foxconn to establish a production base in India. At present, it has formed six assembly plants and achieved local manufacturing of more than 95% of its products. In April, as India’s tariff on circuit boards for mobile phones was raised to 10%, and the import tariff on the whole machine was raised from 10% to 20%, Xiaomi’s local manufacturing in India provided a guarantee for it to maintain its cost-effective advantage.

Currently, Xiaomi has 4 million active online users in India.
