  • Micromax: Capitalising on Emerging Market Trends Company Stories, April 28, 2015
    Micromax: Capitalising on emerging market trends Company Stories, April 28, 2015 Home-grown mobile handset company Micromax has come a long way since it began operations in 2008. According to research firm Canalys, the Indian mobile handset-maker overtook Samsung as the leading player in the quarter ended December 2014. Micromax accounted for 22 per cent of the total smartphone sales in India during the quarter as compared to Samsung’s 20 per cent during the same period. Overall, 21.6 million smartphones were sold in India during the quarter ended December 2014, which was a 90 per cent increase over the same quarter of the previous year. Micromax’s success can be largely attributed to the introduction of affordable feature-rich smartphones for price-conscious Indian buyers. As per Canalys, about a quarter of the smartphones sold in the country in the quarter ended December 2014 were priced at under $100 and 41 per cent were in the $100-$200 range. Unlike established international brands and a few of the older home-grown players, Micromax was quick to leverage the growing trend of smartphone adoption. It is currently providing customers a wide choice of smartphones priced between $37 and $323. Backed by a strong product portfolio, over the past few years the company has managed to capture significant market share from established international players such as Samsung and Microsoft (erstwhile Nokia), as well as home-grown brands like Karbonn and Lava. According to the Registrar of Companies, Micromax reported a revenue of Rs 71.41 billion and a net profit of Rs 2.84 billion in 2013-14.
