Just a quick correction - as of 2026, India is the world's second‑largest mobile phone producer after China. In 2025, output rose 8% YoY and exports jumped 28%, making up almost a third of total production.

Which company can still afford to manufacture in Finland?
Most of the work here is low‑value assembly. High‑value addition is largely done outside India.
