Will European Economic Recession Improve Or Break China Mobile Phone Market?
The world is definitely struggling financially.
After 2010 it was discovered that Greece’s public debt was 120% larger than its GDP, producing incredibly hard financial measures. After 2011 Italy announced the same position saying that it was 1.9 trillion Euros in financial trouble.
The economy, and debt, of Italy was so large that it wasn’t possible to eject Italy from the Eurozone with no collapse of the Euro.
With Europe now in turmoil there are now signs that China’s slowdown could be faster than anybody would really like.
All this means more tougher times to the retail industry ahead, but what about the electronics sector, especially people who sell unlocked mobile phones?
The outlook is surprisingly good.
Sales of unlocked mobile phones are actually dropping in developed markets for many years. Most people had already bought their cheap phone and were either satisfied with it or were aiming to upgrade to a smart phone.
Developing markets were the actual powerhouses behind the unlocked mobile phone market with sales in Russia, Brazil, India and lots of countries in Eastern Europe surging prior to the UK, the US and countries in Western Europe.
The only exceptions to this were Italy and Greece where sales of sub 100 USD phones were especially strong.
Essentially it may mean that there is an upturn in the sales of unlocked mobile phones in the developed world in the near future as individuals need to replace their old phone but can not afford the data plan and outright tariff of a smartphone.
That doesn’t mean there won’t be added challenges though.
Reports taken from India (a major market for Shanzhai unlocked phones) claim that the market there is consolidating with smaller phone sellers (who simply re-badge OEM phones) being pushed out by larger brands who add value to their phones before selling them on customers.
This is indicative of like changes the world will be under-going soon and so anybody selling OEM phones might consider adding value to it, either by offering the phone with a larger Facts, includingn music downloads or some other incentive too keep customers loyal and coming back.
Is the unlocked mobile phone market in danger? Early indications would appear to get no. But it would be wise to start looking at approaches to add value to your items to make your customers feel like you are going for something a little bit more than the bare minimum.
