List of Chinese Products in India
Government can measure the growth and development best by evaluating its GDP(Gross Domestic Product). Gross Domestic Product or GDP provides us with a value of the total goods and services produced in a Country. And for a country as large and populated as India, it is very important to have a good Gross Domestic Product to fulfill the needs of the common people and run various welfare programs through Government Agencies. But, despite having a large human force compared with some of the biggest countries in the world, India has not been able to dominate the global and domestic market with the products manufactured and assembled in India.
The major reason behind the failure to have a strong presence of products in domestic and international markets is the dominance of Chinese products in all the global markets, including India. China has been among the highest growing economies globally for the past several decades. The manufacturing sector has played the most important role in taking the Chinese economy to the highest levels and flooding the global markets with the products manufactured in China. Nowadays, it is a very common sight to the Indian domestic markets filled with products manufactured in China. The biggest reason for these Chinese products' huge success is the price. Since Chinese manufacturers use lower quality raw materials, they can manufacture at a lower cost than a producer in India.
And the Indian customers are now so habitual of using Chinese products that it is highly unlikely to completely remove the presence of Chinese products from the Indian markets. We shall now take a look at the list of some of the most common Chinese products you can see in the markets of India.
Initiatives by the Government of India
To counter the Chinese products and their dominance, the Government of India came up with the idea of the "Make in India" campaign. Under this campaign, the Indian Government has focused on encouraging the Indian manufacturing sector and increasing the manufacturing sector's contribution to India's Gross Domestic Product. Also, various incentives in tax concession, land for setting up manufacturing plants at lower costs, providing financial help by providing easy and quick loans at a comparatively lower interest rate than the market. It is expected that all these steps will prove to be very useful in increasing the number of homegrown products of different types in the domestic and international markets. Moreover, suppose the manufacturing sector of India grows. In that case, the manufacturers will also be able to export these products, which will help build India's image as a manufacturing hub of the world.
List of Chinese Products in India

Since the rise in the popularity of Smartphones, the Chinese phone maker brands got the most profit.
