 TYPE OF COMPETITION FACED

Mobile phones usually face Product Competition.

The big market leaders are often introducing the
latest features at the lowest possible cost .
Various options are now available in the hands of the
consumers.
The more the companies can address to the needs of
the consumers , keeping such factors like economy,
technological up gradations and so on in mind, the
more profitable this segment would mean for them.
