Growing Demand for Durable Mobile Devices in India
In recent times, the demand for long-lasting mobile phones has picked up strongly in India due to the growing need of consumers for smartphones that are resistant to everyday wear and tear. With mobile phones becoming part of everyday life, durability has emerged as a critical buying consideration. Concurrently, customers are seeking smartphones that not only deliver high performance but also long-term protection against scratches, drops, and other physical harm. This change in consumer demand is transforming the mobile device market, especially in the rugged smartphone segment. Moreover, harsh environmental conditions, such as dust and humidity, also highlight the demand for more durable and resilient devices. For example, OPPO introduced the F27 Pro+ 5G in June 2024, which features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, providing 3X scratch resistance and 180% enhanced drop resistance. This move highlights the increasing significance of scratch-resistant glass technology in smartphones, responding to consumer needs for more robust devices that can withstand harsh use. The F27 Pro+ 5G's advancement in scratch-resistant glass is an important step towards addressing the changing requirements of the Indian market for rugged, high-performance smartphones.
Rising Preference for Premium, Long-Lasting Watches
The increasing demand for high-quality, scratch-resistant watches in India has had a direct impact on the market for scratch-resistant materials used in luxury watches. Along with this, there has been an apparent shift towards spending money on long-lasting, advanced watches that will last for years to come with an increase in disposable income and a desire for status-symbol accessories. The need for watches that not only provide better performance but also retain their beauty over the years has created a rising demand for scratch-proof and anti-reflective materials. In India, where watches are viewed as a symbol of style and success, this trend is most common in the luxury segment, with customers focusing on durability and quality rather than affordability. Furthermore, with watches being used in varied environments, including outdoor adventures and daily wear, the need for resilient timepieces has become even more pronounced. In May 2024, Norqain launched the Freedom 60 GMT 40mm Ice Blue timepiece, featuring double anti-reflective scratch-proof sapphire glass. This development reflects the luxury watch market's emphasis on durability and design, addressing the consumer demand for high-end watches that offer both style and long-lasting protection against scratches. The incorporation of scratch-resistant materials like sapphire glass into timepieces has become a crucial factor in appealing to discerning consumers who value both elegance and resilience in their watch collections. This trend is further solidifying the growth of the scratch-resistant glass market in India, especially in the premium and luxury sectors.
