Apple plans to increase iPhone production in India from less than 15 percent to 25 percent by 2028. This goal underscores Apple’s commitment to building a strong network of local suppliers and reducing its dependence on Chinese suppliers. A kind of reality check is made for the inflated predictions we encountered in previous studies.
In past news, it was claimed that 25 percent of iPhone production would be made in India by 2025 and that this rate would increase to 50 percent by 2027. But the latest study shows that India’s share of iPhone production is more likely to rise from 14 percent to 25 percent by 2028
India’s Minister of Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, also supports this claim. Chandrasekhar recently shared a screenshot of this month’s local media report quoting unnamed sources. In this post, it is stated that India’s share in iPhone production is aimed to be 25 percent by 2028.
Apple is focusing on building a strong network of local resellers to reduce dependence on Chinese suppliers. There are currently 14 Apple supplier sites in India. Analysts point out that developing a local ecosystem is vital to Apple’s long-term production goals.
With an expanding list of suppliers in India, including Flex Ltd, Jabil Inc and Cheng Uei Precision Industry, Apple is positioning India as a vital hub in its global supply chain. This strategy not only increases production but also supports the local economy by integrating more Indian suppliers into Apple’s supply chain.
India increases its importance for Apple in iPhone production on a global scale
With Tata Electronics set to complete the acquisition of Pegatron assets and expansion of existing facilities, India is fast becoming a critical player in Apple’s global manufacturing network.
