Addressing an Unorganized Market
The Indian domestic market for tempered glass screen protectors is estimated to be 400 million pieces with a retail value of INR 20,000 crore in 2025, highlighting its vast potential. Currently, over 90% demand is met through low-cost imports, leading to inconsistent quality and an unorganized market. To address this, the government has introduced the world’s first Indian standard for “Chemically Tempered Glass Screen Protectors” via the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) on 28 July 2025. This milestone will ensure high-quality, standardized products, boosting consumer confidence in mobile screen protection.
