Donald Trump, the former President of the US, was warning the company Apple about continuing production of the iPhones outside of the US, mostly in India. His warning concerning that would cause damage to the economy. But Apple stated regarding such news that it would ignore it and proceed with no break in the expansion of production and business plans for India.
Growing Faith in India
The company is slowly migrating its manufacturing chain out of China, as part of its strategy over the last years. Part of that move has been installed in India. It has already appealed to the largest suppliers like Foxconn, Pegatron, and Wistron to invest in manufacturing in India, with an expected 25 percent produced iPhones to be marketed by 2025.
India Is Apple's Future
India is not only a manufacturing hub for its products but also provides a sweet prospective market. The burgeoning middle class in India and technology adoption create new opportunities for premium brands such as Apple. The Indian government also paved the way for foreign investment under the 'Make in India' initiative.
Trump's Comments and Comments from the Company
According to Trump, American companies should commit to establishing manufacturing interests in their own country so that jobs would be created and put back into the economy. However, the company says that it wants to diversify its global supply chain, and the future strategy would be to keep producing as much as possible in as many places as possible.
This has an important message, not only for India but for the entire technology segment: with globalization thundering in the last few decades, a manufacturing place is not just a political decision, but also a strategic one. Strengthening the company's India-centric plans could mean that India can be one of the largest technology manufacturing arms in the world.
