Apple Reports Record Sales in India
iPhones Drive Majority of Sales
iPhones contributed the largest share of Apple’s India sales. The company also reported strong demand for MacBook computers, supported by a rise in student and professional purchases. Apple continues to promote affordability through student discounts, trade-in programs, and partnerships with local banks.
Currently, iPhones hold about 7% of India’s smartphone market. With the middle class expanding and incomes rising, Apple expects steady growth in adoption.
Retail Expansion Strengthens Presence
Apple is rapidly expanding its retail footprint in India. This week, the company opened two new stores in Bangalore and Pune. Plans are already in place to launch more outlets in Noida and Mumbai early next year. These stores aim to give Indian consumers direct access to Apple’s premium shopping experience.
In 2023, Apple reorganized its global structure by creating a separate India sales region, underlining the country’s long-term growth potential.
India’s Role in Apple Manufacturing
Beyond sales, India is becoming a central part of Apple’s global manufacturing strategy. Today, the country produces one in every five iPhones, spread across five factories. This shift is part of Apple’s broader effort to reduce reliance on China and diversify supply chains.
