Second manufacturing center?
By 2025, India's iPhone production will increase to around 25% of the total global output , according to a new analyst report. The report shows that by the same year, similar proportions of other Apple products will be produced outside China.
We have seen many signs recently that as Apple continues to work hard to reduce its dependence on China, India is becoming increasingly important to Apple as the second key manufacturing center...
Reduced dependence on
Apple is heavily dependent on China as a manufacturing and assembly center. The huge supplier ecosystem that grew up in China has made the production of Apple products a tightly integrated operation, and this model is difficult to replicate elsewhere.
However, it is becoming increasingly obvious that Apple continues to reduce the dependence of on China in and seeks diversified production; in order to reduce the impact of uncertainties on Apple.
html For more than 0 years, Apple has been working on diversified production and has been accelerating these efforts lately. And India is at the forefront of Apple's diversification.
iPhone Production grew rapidly
When Apple first started producing iPhones in India, it was Apple that released iPhone SE and only models sold in the country. Since then, the model range has gradually expanded, with the iPhone 13 joining the lineup earlier this year.
Foxconn is Apple's main supplier in India, responsible for the production of all iPhone 13s, while Wistron is responsible for the production of iPhone SE and iPhone 12. Foxconn will add iPhone 14 to its plan this year and is expected to start production within a few weeks.
Previously reported that the iPhone 15 will start production in China and India next year, and Apple initially hoped that this will start when the iPhone 14 was launched this year. Why
?
JPMorgan analysts said on Wednesday that by 2025, Apple may produce quarter iPhones in India, and the tech giant will transfer part of its production from China
It also estimates that by 2025, about 25% of all Apple products, including Mac, iPad, Apple Watch and AirPods, will be produced outside China, while the current proportion is only 5% . So today's question is, China has a complete supply chain system, why does Apple still seek other manufacturing bases?
