New Delhi: Smartphone brands in India may face a supply crunch for components from the middle of next month if the current surge in Covid cases continues in China and because of Chinese New Year when most factories are shut, said market trackers.
But that alone may not cause any immediate concerns for the brands since they have taken their learnings from previous disruptions and stocked up on components enough to service the demand, which is already muted in India.
\"If the situation plays out for another three weeks, we may see disruptions in component supplies for the smartphone brands that rely heavily on components from Chinese factories,\" said Faisal Kawoosa, chief analyst at market research firm TechArc<\/a>.
