The global consumer landscape is witnessing a notable shift as individuals increasingly opt for higher-priced smartphones, even in traditionally price-sensitive markets like India. This trend underscores a growing willingness among consumers to invest in premium smartphones, a phenomenon observed globally. Key players in the premium smartphone segment, such as Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics, are strategically expanding their market presence, extending their reach into developing regions. This expansion is propelled by a surging demand for premium smartphones in these countries.
Research findings from Counterpoint Research reveal a substantial increase in the average selling price (ASP) range in 2017, marking a 19% rise, equivalent to USD 144, compared to the previous year. This trend is not exclusive to India but is mirrored in countries like China and the US as well. According to analysis by MRFR, several factors contribute to the consumer preference for premium phones. A pivotal factor is the rise in per capita income globally. Data from the World Bank database indicates an increase in annual GDP per capita, rising from 1.39% in 2016 to 1.99% in 2017. This surge in income has enhanced consumers' purchasing power, encouraging them to allocate more resources to premium smartphone purchases.
Moreover, the relatively stable inflation rate worldwide, especially in developing regions like South East Asia and South America, has contributed to a positive spending trend. Another significant influence is the availability of convenient payment options for consumers. Major retail chains are offering diverse financing choices, including low-interest Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs) and payment through various lending platforms like Zest Money. These financial solutions facilitate consumer access to premium phones, driving an upward trajectory in their adoption.
The increasing prevalence of premium smartphones has triggered a corresponding surge in demand for advanced loudspeaker components by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). This heightened demand is a key driver propelling the overall market. In essence, the evolving consumer preferences, driven by economic factors and facilitated by flexible payment options, are reshaping the smartphone landscape. As premium smartphones continue to gain traction globally, their impact reverberates through the entire supply chain, influencing market dynamics and presenting new opportunities for manufacturers of advanced components.
