Anti-China sentiments present opportune time for LAVA and other Indian Phone Manufacturers

The current market sentiments seem like the perfect opportunity in terms of consumer preferences for LAVA & MICROMAX to gain back their foothold in the smartphone market. In 2014, Micromax had dethroned Samsung as the country’s top-selling brand. Even in 2015, Indian brands controlled 45% of the country’s smartphone market, with Chinese brands at only 9%, according to data from Counterpoint Research. Their failure to adapt to the advent of 4G, however, caused a stunning reversal in fortunes. Today, Micromax and Lava—the two biggest Indian brands—together account for only 0.4% of the smartphone market. With the Chinese brands moving up the value chain as they look to drive margins up, Indian brands could move into the wallet-friendly sub-Rs 15,000 ($200) segment. “We plan to launch two models in July,” says Mugdh Rajit, Lava’s head for marketing, sales and distribution strategy. “Our main focus will be on the Rs 7,000-15,000 ($90-200) price band.
