Nokia Mobile Phone History in Bangladeshi Market
Nokia has a long history in the Bangladeshi market. The company first entered the market in the late 1990s and quickly became one of the most popular mobile phone brands in the country. Nokia’s popularity in Bangladesh was due to its wide range of affordable and reliable mobile phones, as well as its strong distribution network and marketing efforts.
In the early 2000s, Nokia’s market share in Bangladesh was over 80%, making it the dominant player in the mobile phone market. During this time, the company launched several models specifically tailored to the Bangladeshi market, such as the Nokia 1600, one of the most affordable mobile phones available at the time.
However, in the late 2000s and early 2010s, Nokia faced increased competition from other mobile phone brands, particularly from Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei and Oppo. As a result, Nokia’s market share in Bangladesh began to decline. In 2014, Nokia sold its mobile phone division to Microsoft, and the company’s presence in the Bangladeshi market has been limited since then.
However, it’s worth mentioning that in 2020, Nokia announced its re-entry into the mobile phone market, and as of 2021, Nokia smartphones are available in the Bangladeshi market again.
