The corona virus originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan and after that the virus spread throughout the world. Today, more than 3 million people have fallen prey to it all over the world and in India also its number has crossed 30 thousand. In such a situation, people all over the world are blaming China for this and are also talking about boycott of Chinese. Especially, there is a lot of anger among the mobile users. So the question is, when the lockdown opens after the corona virus is over, will it matter on the Chinese phone cell? Or is it just noise on social and there is no such thing at ground level?
How is people's reaction
During the lockdown, we are all working from our own homes and have not had a chance to learn outside. We have not done a survey on the store, but whenever you are launching a Chinese phone or posting related posts on other social channels including Facebook and YouTube, there is a flood of comments on it. Most people are seen saying this That Chinese mobile companies no longer have to take phones. Such comments used to come earlier but their number was only one or two. But now every post has a lot of comments against Chinese phones. This is the reason why there seems to be little talk for Chinese companies.
What does trade say
When this kind of trend started on social media, we talked to Arvinder Khurana, National President of All India Mobile Retailers Association (AIMRA) about this. Regarding this, he said that "there may be some such noise on social media but there is nothing like that on the ground label." The market share of Chinese phones is not going to make any difference, nor will there be any shortfall in the cell. After the lockdown or lockdown, it will take time for the market to stabilize and during this time the cell of all phones will be affected, not just Chinese phones. ”
He further said that "We may know brands like Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo are Chinese companies but now they have become Indian and their phones are produced in India. On the other hand, if this kind of atmosphere is also being created about Chinese brands, then after the lockdown opens, the company will also make users aware through its promoters through the Make in India campaign. In such a situation, I do not think it will make a difference. As for the trade, now it will say that first let the corona end and let the trade come back, then the reality will be understood. ”
At the same time, Ashok Kumar, who is running a mobile retail shop based in Delhi, Karolbag, says that "things happen every time but the reality is not like that". When it comes to spending money, then people's preference changes. People come to the store and take the phone of the Chinese company. It is a matter of retailers, what to sell if they do not sell Chinese phones. There is such a large number of offline retailers and one cannot survive on the strength of just one Samsung. So I don't think the Chinese phone cell will make any difference after the lockdown. "
What is the situation now
Although many places have been relaxed a bit in lockdown, but still the market is not opening on a large scale. In some places, shops are opening for 2-2 hours in the morning and during this time some cell phones have also started. We found in some places including Delhi, Chinese phones are still being sold in the same proportion as before.
However, shops are not yet opened on a large scale and we ourselves have not visited the stores yet. In such a situation, we cannot tell the whole situation, but it can definitely be said that whatever happens will be different from before.
