Inviting giants like #Apple, #Samsung & #Foxconn to set up mobile phone manufacturing facilities in India could prove to be a double edged sword for well established Indian contract manufacturers like Dixon Technologies for various reasons. Key among these are....(contd)
(2/8)
Key reasons for concern:
1. COST COMPETITIVENESS
Giant scale manufacturing could mean lower costs which in turn could increase cost competitiveness and reduce margins for existing manufacturers

2. "ATMA-NIRBHAR COMPETITION"
Government providing financial and policy help could encourage existing clientele to start their own distributed manufacturing hubs and control and future proof their supply chains

3. DE-RISKING OF SUPPLY CHAINS
With increased choices of contract manufacturing, most clients would prefer to diversify their supply chains to avoid bottle-necking and to prevent supply disruptions in case of unforeseen events with any particular contracted manufacturer

4. HIGH DEPENDENCE ON FEW CLIENTS
Although companies like #DixonTechnologies are trying to diversify their revenue sources to reduce #dependence on concentrated orders, a loss of even a single client could disrupt their revenues by 5%-30% depending on the client

5. GOOD VS BIG
When a long term corporate relation is pitted against a BIG competitor that could provide #faster, #cheaper & #larger supply opportunity, more often than not, decades of good relations might not matter in a bid to stay competitive globally

6. SMALLER SLICE OF A BIGGER PIE
The growth forecasts of Indian contract manufacturers was based on more business coming in annually as the Total Addressable Market continues to grow but now those opportunities of growth will be diverted to various other competitors as well
(8/8)
All in all, a very big step for India but an equally dangerous scenario for mobile phone contract manufacturers. Growth for the country and the economy doesn't always mean there wont be disruptions and collateral damage.
