The Evolution of Smartphone Manufacturing: Lessons from India and Beyond

Author(s) Naveen NMK, Vandna Kalshan
Country India
Abstract The evolution of mobile technology from rudimentary voice-only devices to advanced 5G-enabled smartphones, has profoundly transformed global communication, commerce, and digital economies. This paper traces the technological progression of mobile communication, highlighting parallel developments in smartphone manufacturing ecosystems across India and leading global hubs such as China, South Korea, and Vietnam. It explores how successive generations of mobile technology have increased device complexity, thereby reshaping manufacturing strategies and supply chains. The study emphasizes India’s strategic policy interventions, including the “Make in India” initiative and the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, which have catalyzed domestic production, expanded exports, and reduced import dependency. Through comparative analysis, the paper identifies best practices from other countries related to industrial policy, infrastructure development, and workforce skill enhancement. The findings reveal that while India has made significant strides in assembly and exports, it must further invest in upstream component manufacturing, R&D, and supply chain resilience to consolidate its position. The study concludes with actionable recommendations for policymakers and industry stakeholders to leverage emerging technologies such as 5G and AI for sustained growth and global competitiveness in smartphone manufacturing.
Keywords Smartphone Manufacturing, Mobile Technology Evolution, Make in India, Production-Linked Incentive (PLI), Global Supply Chain, 5G and AI-enabled Devices.
