Samsung bullish on India outlook for 2026, cites growth in economy and demand

South Korean electronics major Samsung Electronics has expressed confidence in India’s economic outlook for 2026, citing expectations of sustained growth and rising consumer demand, according to a PTI report.

Senior executives of the company said India remains a key market in Samsung’s global strategy, with long-term opportunities across smartphones, consumer electronics and semiconductor-linked ecosystems. The comments were made in the context of India’s expanding economy and growing middle-class consumption.

According to PTI, Samsung sees India’s scale, demographic profile and improving infrastructure as factors supporting demand growth over the next few years. Executives noted that the company continues to invest in manufacturing, supply chains and research capabilities in the country.

The company has a significant manufacturing presence in India, including large facilities for mobile phones and consumer electronics, and has positioned the country as an important export base. Samsung executives said India’s role in global value chains is expected to strengthen further.

PTI reported that the company is also tracking policy initiatives aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing and technology development, which it sees as supportive of long-term business expansion.

While executives expressed optimism about the medium-term outlook, they acknowledged global uncertainties and competitive pressures across markets. The report did not indicate whether Samsung plans to announce new investments or capacity expansions in India in the near term.

No specific financial targets, timelines or product launch plans linked to the 2026 outlook were disclosed in the report.
