Apple’s Growth in India Accelerating
India has emerged as an increasingly important market for Apple. According to market tracker IDC, the company could sell 150 million iPhones in the country by 2025. This could push Apple’s market share above 10% for the first time.
Apple became the fourth-largest smartphone vendor in India in the September quarter, registering 25% year-over-year growth with sales of nearly 5 million units.
Cook has described India as a standout market in several recent analyst calls, where the company has achieved record revenue for 15 consecutive quarters.
