富士康为苹果iPhone降价征战印度？国产手机偷笑 - 富士康,iPhone - IT资讯

“实际上，富士康在印度最大的客户应该是中国品牌，而非苹果，富士康的印度扩产计划，真正的驱动力是中国品牌。”

据印度《经济时报》近日报道，富士康在印度扩产兴建工厂的计划已获批准，将在孟买附近获得一块1200英亩的土地，投资100亿美元建设一座巨型工厂，专门为苹果代工。

富士康此前在一份声明中表示：针对印度有“重大的计划”，在2020年之前建设10到12座工厂，为印度带来100万个就业机会。

孟买所在的马哈拉施特拉邦工业部长认为，富士康之所以有如此动作，“主要是因为中国人力成本上升”。

“我并不这样认为，印度制造业短时间内还不可能取代中国，富士康的扩产只是根据印度市场变化做出的战术动作，我们看到富士康在中国也还在持续投入。”印度宏观经济研究机构ORF经济学家Prashant Kumar对21世纪经济报道记者分析说。

苹果风头远没有中国品牌亮眼

富士康目前约50%的应收来自于生产苹果产品，但是由于全球需求放缓，苹果在2016年第二个季度销量首次出现下滑，营业收入也出现十多年来的首次下降。富士康注定深受影响，2015年第四季度，富士康利润出现了三年多以来首次下滑。

在这样的背景下，苹果把希望寄托在了印度市场。5月18日，苹果CEO已经抵达印度，并将与印度总理莫迪见面。此前，苹果还曾试图在印度销售二手苹果翻新机。

“实际上，富士康在印度最大的客户应该是中国品牌，而非苹果，富士康的印度扩产计划，真正的驱动力是中国品牌。”Prashant Kumar分析说。

2015年，印度智能手机销量为1亿部左右，苹果手机由于售价过高，市占率仅为2%上下。在印度市场上，苹果手机的风头远没有中国品牌亮眼。

在印度，中国品牌手机的市占率从几年前的4%上升到目前超过20%，尤其是2015年，市占率蹿升了6个百分点，主要是依赖线上电商渠道进行销售。

“2016年，印度智能手机市场还将以25%的速度增长，目前的市场格局和趋势还将延续。”Prashant Kumar分析说。

2016年2月，印度政府出台保护性关税政策，将手机进口关税从6%提升至12.5%；同时减少了对本土厂商的增值税征收。这意味着，在印度本土生产和销售的手机将比从中国进口少缴纳12%左右的税收。新的税收政策出台之后，各个手机品牌都加快了在印度建立生产线的步伐。

“OPPO手机的部分产品已经开始从富士康印度工厂生产并发货。”OPPO印度公关部门对21世纪经济报道记者证实。

“小米也是通过富士康印度工厂代工生产的，富士康代工的中国品牌很多。”Prashant Kumar说。

2020年很难拥有10座工厂

“2020年10座工厂不可能做到的。”酷派印度品牌经理王硕对21世纪经济报道记者说，“那意味着几十万人的规模，需要大量有工厂管理方面和技术方面的人才，这些在印度并不好找，从中国国内找又要求英语或者印地语过硬，这就太难了。”

酷派也正在推进印度本土生产，王硕对印度制造的现实情况深有体会。此前，酷派在印度的业务仅仅是帮助印度本土品牌做代工，在中国生产，然后贴上印度本土品牌销售到印度。2015年以来，酷派转型做自主品牌，通过线上渠道进行销售，计划2016年在印度销量达到300万部，与小米、联想等品牌平起平坐。

“富士康扩产，不仅仅是它自己的事情，还需要供应商配合。”王硕说，“印度供应链体系不健全，手机生产需要众多的配件，而印度当地缺乏技术和产能。”

“印度的人工当然是便宜，现在国内工人工资要超过3000元，在印度1300元就足够招聘到一个IT专业的大学毕业生。”王硕说，“但是印度对穷人的法律保护很重视。”

“富士康并没有减少对中国的投入和依赖。”Prashant Kumar分析说，“我注意到富士康最近在郑州的生产基地已经开始大规模招工，为苹果新产品生产做准备。”

“目前不存在印度市场侵蚀中国市场生产、销售的问题。”OPPO印度公关部门说，“中国市场和海外各市场的实际情况和发展阶段都有所不同。”
