Apple is planning to shift around 25% of its total production to India by 2025. An analyst from JP Morgan said that the step is being taken by Apple in order to expand its supply chain. Talking about the current scenario, Apple is producing some of its iPhone models in India like the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 14. Right now, the supply chain of Apple is currently based in China. However, the brand has already started making efforts in order to move from China and start production somewhere else.
The Analysts from JP Morgan also believe that by the end of 2022, around 5% of iPhone 14 production will be shifted to India. Apart from that, a considerable shift is expected in the upcoming three years. The 25% production that will be shifted to India includes AirPods, Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch too. Some of the major Apple suppliers, Foxconn, has made a decent investment in the supply chain infrastructure, factories, and training in India.
