Airlink is a mobile phone retailer having locations all throughout Pakistan. It was founded in 2011 and currently holds a 20-25 percent share of the country’s entire mobile business market. In Pakistan and Afghanistan, it is also Samsung’s official partner for mobile phones and tablets. In addition, Apple and Samsung phone sales accounts for more than half of the company’s revenue.
The local smartphone market is certainly increasing, particularly given that smartphones are used by 18% of the population. This is only projected to grow in the future years as consumer purchasing power and tech savvy both rise.
Furthermore, local Samsung phone manufacture is likely to begin before the end of this year and we are anticipating further boost in sales.
