Riding high on the robust growth of its mobile business, Samsung India today said it expects the handset segment to contribute up to 30 per cent of the total revenue of the company from the country.
?We expect mobiles to contribute anywhere between 25-30 per cent of the total Samsung?s India revenue,? Samsung India Director (mobiles & IT) Ranjit Yadav said here .
?This year we are also projecting to maintain last year?s growth level of 100 per cent both in volume and value terms,? said Yadav, who was here to launch two higher-end Samsung Corby models.
In 2008, Samsung had a total revenue of USD 1.7 billion.
The two models launched today are Corby Pro and Corby Plus priced at Rs 13,900 and Rs 10,050 respectively.
The Corby, he said, was designed to cater to social networking needs of today?s youth with both touchscreen and Qwerty keypad features.
Yadav said the company would continue to focus on the touch screen phone segment in which it had 32 per cent marketshare with some 14 models.
He added that the portfolio was growing at 14 per cent compared to the industry growth rate of 2-3 per cent.
In 2009, the touchscreen phone market was pegged at 1.8 million units.
Notebooks, netbooks and LCD are some of the other segments in which the company is witnessing high growth.
