4. 5 REASON THAT MADE MICROMAX FAILURE
DOMINACE OF CHINA IN INDIAN MARKET-
In India, out of five best selling smartphones, four
are Chinese vendors.
Xiaomi retained the top point with a 27.1% ( in Q3)
market share comprising 12.6 million shipment
units.
However, their market share has fallen from
30.6% in Q1 2019. 4

6. 5 REASON THAT MADE MICROMAX FAILURE
PROMOTION OF BRAND AND BRAND VALUE-
Others brand like MI, OPPO, VIVO have more valuable
product than Micromax and they have more power of
branding(Advertising).
According to the IDC report, In the second quarter of 2019
(Q2), Smartphone shipments reached to 36.9 million, up from
32.1 million in the previous quarter, according to International
Data Corporation’s (IDC) Asia/Pacific Quarterly Mobile Phone
Tracker. 6

7. 5 REASON THAT MADE MICROMAX FAILURE
QUALITY AND SPECIFICATION-
Everyone looks for smart phones which have a great
feature, quality.Now a days people required more features in
less effective cost. Features like Quad Cam, Snapdragon
processor is available in lowest price.
But Micromax is still selling 3G keypad phone and they are
not ready to change themselves with the new emerging
market.

8. 5 REASON THAT MADE MICROMAX FAILURE
TIME FOR E-COMMERCE-
We all prefer to buy online because it gives us a lot of things like
a discount, return, free delivery and replacement policy as well.
The offline market is being dominated by Oppo and Vivo. As
they were paying an extra amount of money to retailers and
distributors to keep their brands in front customers eyes.
Retailers could make easy money from Chinese brands by
showing the number of devices sold, while a brand like Samsung
demands that they sell phones worth a particular amount
8

9. 5 REASON THAT MADE MICROMAX FAILURE
PRICE WAR/SEGMENT-
As you know that Chinese companies let you provide more
specifications with a low budget so we could buy without
thinking too.
If you visit a mobile shop to buy a Smartphone, the
shopkeeper will show two smartphones. One has a
Snapdragon processor, quad camera, OIS, 5000 mAh Battery,
4GB of RAM, etc which price is 25,000. Second has the same
feature but the price is around 15,000. 9

10. “ CONCLUSION
Changing your self with changing
environment is more important to
survive in this enormous sea of
electronic market. As we seen that
Micromax is not ready to change then it
is easy for new players to increase
there dominance in Indian market like
China
