In this era of call-centers’ boom, the Indian educated young generation people mostly have enough money in their pockets, so they spend for luxurious goods. However, in India, branded products are much costlier than unbranded and unwarranted Chinese products.

The young generation wants to enjoy everything immediately and simultaneously, thus they prefer buying unbranded Chinese products considering their cheap price. In some cases, (say) in case of cell phones, a good featured modern Chinese cell phone costs almost 1/3rd of that of a branded and warranted product. Thus, the young folk do not mind to go for such products. As they know that within a few months they will sell this out and get a new one.

Branded products are better considering their warranty and servicing facilities in India. But the multinational vendors’ pricing policy coupled by Indian government’s taxation norms, zoom up their prices for these products. Adding to this, still now many vendors of branded products have failed to stretch their service facilities to the remote areas, which are far from the cities.

So, the potential buyers prefer unbranded products. Any multinational preferring to sell their products in India, should care for these things. Quality is very important, side by side price and service facilities too influence the buyers’ interest.

They can’t fail the eye because they are everywhere. There is a glut of them.

You are correct. Actually the price is so affordable, people buy them like hot cakes, where with the ’use and throw’attitude, people do not bother for quality, durability and to some extent reliability. Thus, market penetration is comparatively easy for them.

the market is overflwoing with Chinese products. i bought a little Chinese radio for a ridiculously low price and it has been running smoothly for the last 9 months. i had bought a watch for rs.60 and it lasted 3 months. even thats value for money. however, if I want a cellphone, i would go for a branded one.

Obviously, because there you will care for durability and reliability. More than the price you pay, the intact service gets priority in that case.

I am not in favor of Chinese products. I bought many china made toys for my kid. but in no time he breaks them and i fear if it may suffocate him in case he swallows its samll part. Indeed these products are cheap but not everlasting. I prefer buying stuff that is durable and is of good quality(both these aspects lack in chinese toys and many appliances)no matter i have to shell out double the amount of these low priced stuff.

Once again, I find reliability gets priority in your case. So, your decision is obvious...

They are cheap and only cheap. Take them home, there is no guarantee they will work. Its better spending a bit extra than repenting.

However, one thing you have to accept, they create variety. No other nation thinks of such varieties at so low cost.
