For Samsung, it is currently very aggressive in the Indian market. This is because it wants to use the new Note 10 series to drive the sales of other products. The ultimate plan is to use the high-end market to take over the Indian market. Xiaomi has a strong grip on the Indian smartphone market. It has been the top brand consecutively for many quarters. However, Xiaomi’s major market is the mid-range and low-end market.
Ranjivjit Singh, senior vice president and head of mobile business marketing at Samsung India, said: “In 2018, we accounted for 52% of the high-end market. This percentage rose to 63% in the first half of 2019, and high-end smartphone sales are positive. It is growing at a rate of 9% to 10%. We are growing at a strong double-digit rate and we expect to grow by more than 20%.”
