Apple expects India to become its third-largest market by 2026, with sales set to rise by 20%.

By 2026, India is expected to become Apple's third-largest market, with local sales potentially rising by 20% to 15 million units next year. This growth is fueled by easier financing, festival discounts, and a preference for premium products. Despite a decline in China from 24% to 14% market share, Apple's shipments to India surged 64% in Q3 2024, reflecting a strategic shift towards emerging markets.
