The market trends in VMI are constantly changing, and companies use different market share positioning tactics to outsmart the others. Among them is differentiation, which entails distinguishing a firm's VMI from competitors by creating a product that suits the specific needs of customers. This could involve having unique features or superior performance on the part of the company or providing special user cases that make its product different from what others have to offer. Another important strategy is the cost leadership approach for businesses intending to become the lowest-cost producers in the VMI market. It is particularly effective in low-cost scenarios as it allows firms to draw more customers on board with affordable prices. Cost leadership requires efficiency in operations, and economies gained through large-scale production, and skillful cost management so that profitability can still be maintained as compared to rivals while selling at lower rates than them. Cost leadership enables companies to appeal to price-conscious consumers seeking cheaper products.
VMI Market segmentation is another strategic practice in this industry. By identifying and targeting separate customer groups using customized VMI systems, organizations can satisfy different customer groups' unique tastes and preferences. To do this well, companies must understand the differing customer requirements so as to create separate marketing plans, sales strategies, and product concepts for each group. In recent times, strategic partnerships and alliances have become increasingly common within the VMI arena since many corporations want to take advantage of each other's strengths (Bones & Ahonen 2010). These agreements can be signed with other technology vendors, software developers, or mobile device makers, enriching their existing products with some new features associated with mobile virtualization and making them more appealing.
Aggressive marketing and brand building play a pivotal role in market share positioning strategies. Companies invest heavily in branding activities on both online and offline media platforms aimed at establishing credibility as well as ensuring brand recognition within the VMI sector (Singh & Ghosh 2011). Effective marketing campaigns will highlight key benefits, features, and real-life stories to attract potential customers and reinforce the brand's image in the market. Lastly, continuous innovation is a cornerstone strategy in the VMI market. Being a fast-evolving field, companies that engage in research and development of their VMI solutions stay ahead of the game (Cho 2011). It may involve improving on current aspects or adding new functions such as 5G integration or enhanced security infrastructures that are now needed. In so doing, they meet today's requirements while positioning themselves as futuristic players with cutting-edge technology, thus attracting clients who like up-to-date products.

Virtual Mobile Infrastructure Market Overview
Virtual Mobile Infrastructure Market was valued at USD 3.3 Billion in 2030 and is expected to register a CAGR of 8.20% during the forecast period. Virtual mobile infrastructure is a technology that enables a mobile application to run on a virtual machine or operating system located in remote areas. It allows centralized applications to run on a secure host that is housed in the data center instead of the device itself.
The mobile applications are accessed remotely from mobile devices such as tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices. The major driving factor for the growth of the virtual mobile infrastructure market is the increase in the utilization of mobile devices and the reduction in the hardware and operating costs using virtual mobile infrastructure technology.
