According to the estimates provided by Apple’s vendors, the freight-on-board (FOB) production value could amount to $9 billion for the first half of FY25. By the end of the fiscal year, India is expected to account for 17-18% of the company’s global iPhone production volume and approximately 14% of its production value.

In FY24, Apple assembled iPhones worth $14 billion in India, doubling its production efforts from previous years. This rapid expansion reflects the company’s focus on diversifying its supply chain beyond China. Of the $14 billion in iPhones assembled in India, around $10 billion worth of devices were exported, illustrating India’s growing role in Apple’s global operations. With tensions between Beijing and Washington swelling, India is emerging as an increasingly important lower-cost alternative in Apple’s plans to move away from dependence on China.

Local subsidies, the availability of a large skilled workforce, and the developing technology infrastructure enable Apple to scale up production in India. The strategy to increase its footprint in India also matches the long-term vision of the company as it aims to spread out manufacturing risks and view India as a destination to be a large manufacturing hub. With Apple following local manufacturing, India is going to play a very important role in the whole chain of Apple.
