India Surpasses China as Top Smartphone Exporter to US
India is now the biggest seller of smartphones to the United States, beating China.
This change is because of taxes the US put on Chinese goods, Apple making phones in India, and some Indian government programs.
In early 2025, India sent many smartphones to the US, and it is expected to continue growing.
India surpassed China in 2025 as the largest smartphone exporter to the US.
India now supplies 44% of US smartphone imports.
China's share of the US smartphone market dropped to 25%.
The shift is due to US tariffs, Apple's move to India, and government initiatives.
India's smartphone production reached ₹5.45 lakh crore in early 2025.
