Apple products in india market

why apple products are not popular in India, they are very popular in US, why Apple is ignoring wide Indian market??

What makes you think apple is ignoring the Indian market?
Don't you know they even have an Indian site? http://www.apple.com/in/

I don't see apple products being used in India as much as in US, other than ipod, I don't think anything else is used here more, like apple TV, laptops, ipad even iphone. If anyone is using them, they would have bought that from their friends/relatives in US.

May be the concern is that why dont they release the products at par with other countries in India.

indian's are thinking if we buy gadgets from US it is cheap. three months back one of my frind bought a dell inspiron. which is Rs. 5000 to 70000 more in india.
might be this is the reason

OK, so it's not so much "Apple is ignoring the Indian market", it's "Indians are ignoring Apple". Price is certainly a factor. For example, an entry-level iMac is $1200 in the USA, and 75000 Rs in India. Since that is the equivalent of $1670, right off the bat Indian customers are paying 35% more than American customers, probably due to shipping and tariffs.

But Indian consumers do not have as much disposable income; GDP per capita at PPP in Intl. $ is 47000 (USA) vs. 3300 (India). While income is not the same as GDP per capita, there is strong correlation between the two, and it's clear that American consumers can afford a lot more Apple toys than Indian consumers. (And income inequality is actually lower in India than in the USA.)

I agree with Ulf.. Cost is definitely the most important factor that keeps Apple products away from ordinary Indians

with Rs75000 I can buy 2 good configuration Laptops or 1 best configuration laptop with an additional accesory like an 22" LCD screen , then why would I go for a normal Apple Laptop

I think cost doesn't matter.
Its just that Indians prefer mangoes to apples

And because Mangoes are cheaper than Apple....

Steve jobs why have you forsaken India?

I think Price is the basic reason.
Indians who do buy Apple products again prefer to buy it from the US due to the price difference, leave apart the ones who do mind the cost.

Look at phones, the huge popularity of Brands like 'Micromax' does prove that cost is a major factor.

Am not just pointing to the Indian buyers, Apple sales would have dipped even in the US during the recession.

Just googled "Apple sales in recession", and was surprised to find out it was on a high !
Looks like iPhone sales cushioned the dip in MacBook sales.
