First Xiaomi Mi Store Opens in India: 10K+ customers line up

India is considered by many smartphone companies around the world as a great market, with incredible potential. Even Apple has decided to make iPhones there, and it is only a matter of time. Xiaomi is no different as, for a long time, its smartphone has taken a considerable portion of the market in India. It has always been a matter of time before the first Xiaomi Mi Store is in India. Now, that has come true, and the opening of the said Mi Store has received tremendous reception so far!

The first Xiaomi Mi Store in India is in the area of Bengaluru. Having quite a good grip on the market here, Xiaomi has been confident about opening up stores in the country. However, what the company got in return far exceeded its expectation. At the opening ceremony, there were more than 10,000 Xiaomi fans attended, all lined up to wait and buy Xiaomi products. That number is no less hype than any iPhone launch in India so far.

The positive reception of the people in the opening of the first Xiaomi Mi Store in India is surely an encouraging sign for the Chinese company. It is another stepping stone for further success in the country. According to IDC research, as of the first quarter of 2017, Chinese smartphone manufacturers accounted for 51.4% of Indian smartphone market share. What’s more, that is an incredible increase of 142.6% year over year. Among them, Xiaomi alone accounted for 14.2% market share, ranking second among them. The opening of new stores is undoubtedly beneficial for the brand.
