Someone was telling me that typically hardware markup is 3x-4x from the bill of material to the retail price, but in India it's more like 5x-6x because of customs and duty overheads. Anyone care to comment?
- GiraffeNecktie 16y agoThat doesn't seem right. Apple is a high margin manufacturer and you often hear of a 50% markup on the BoM for their products http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/infrastructure/18592/apple-looking-at-50-mark-up-on-each-ipad/ http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/infrastructure/18592/app... The markup on commodity computers (and I'd put Android tablets in that category) is very low.
