Rising demand for Samsung’s expensive Galaxy S24 series means a growing market for high-end smartphones among affluent Pakistani consumers.

However, the growing popularity of high-end smartphones points to changing consumer preferences in the country.

Samsung’s response and Pakistan’s smartphone industry

Samsung has assured customers that it is working hard to meet demand for its S24 smartphone and expects sales to resume soon. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s smartphone industry has seen significant changes in recent years. Government incentives have encouraged domestic assembly rather than imports, leading to increased production by local and Chinese brands such as VGOTEL, Infinix and Itel. The shift comes after a turbulent period in 2023, which was marked by a temporary halt in production due to import restrictions and the economic crisis.

Price advantage over Apple

Samsung enjoys a significant price advantage over Apple in Pakistan, largely due to the lack of local iPhone manufacturers. Import taxes on iPhones are high, often exceeding $650, making Samsung smartphones a more attractive option for many Pakistani consumers. This price dynamics has further increased the popularity of Samsung smartphones in the Pakistani market.
