Bangladesh need to put much higher taxes on foreign import phones. Otherwise the market will be swallowed by foreign phones.

What category of consumers does the Maximus, the mobile brand that recorded close to 800 pc YoY growth, cater to? Happened to visit their site, arranged their devices in order of decreasing prices, and looked into the specs of the first entry. That device is weaker than my late 2013 bought phone which btw is still working, about 9000 INR in price. People in India would choose to buy better mobiles at 5000-7000 INR from Chinese or local brands with much better specs than that.

Symphony phones are actually "made in Bangladesh" in name alone. They are fully manufactured in China, with a nice little logo.

Walton has a decent share. Symphony too. But I doubt it will reach 41%..
More like 20-25%. Parts of Unknown+Symphony.....I guess.

That's because Bangladesh is not a signatory of Information Technology Agreement (ITA)....Our leaders were idiots who signed that agreement in 1997...BC they destroyed our electronic manufacturing industry by signing that agreememt....One of the main reason why i don't like congress..First ITA and then FTA with Asean in 2009 that doesn't even include service sector...I mean seriously WTF they were thinking...

The article has not claimed that Bangladeshi brands make up 41%. They are saying locally made devices (of both local and foreign brands) made up 41% of sales last quarter. This is entirely possible given Samsung and Symphony also manufacture locally.
This article claims 95% of Samsung handsets sold are locally made and that locally made devices are expected to make up 30% of sales for the year.

Symphony is the market leader in Bangladesh. There is noway it is only 3%. This website's data on Bangladesh contain error. Unknown 28% look suspicious. It is perhaps taken out of Symphony's share.

The original article failed to convey the correct massage. It should be 41% locally assembled Bangladeshi and foreign brand. Not only Bangladeshi brand. Now a large segment of Samsung smart phone selling in Bangladesh comes from local assembly unit. So Locally produced local brand Symphony+Walton as well as locally assembled foreign brand Samsung make up the 41%.

Excellent news of this massive 3 billion US dollar investment in BD.

BD needs to be smart . Use tarrif, para tarrif, incentives, grants and tax breaks to ensure that manuafacturing of critical products like mobile occurs in country so that first and foremost the consumers get a good deal.

With the upcoming 5G and IOT technology BD needs to set out its position immediately and follow through. This is the new big thing and BD should seek to be an early entrant in 5G enabled product manufacturing and support.

Its funny because this was the exact kind of thing I was suggesting over the nuclear power white elephant.

We support you doing it through GE. GE is a big manufacturer in India.

Locally made = local final assembly. As @Armchair has referenced, this is a tiny proportion of final cost....its essentially all made in china.

BD just has no genuine MVA capability yet.

A good benchmark is when you actually export the final assembled product at some actual level that matters...then you know you are actually somewhere in the juicy MVA bit....since you are actually doing something of note in that case.

Not really, there is very lax application of the agreement with lot of litigation going on just for China.

India fault is more poor investment handling and lack of critical reform for good chunk of 10 years under UPA.
