Why Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka offers the ideal market, with an estimated 23% (4.4 million) of its population falling in the ‘youth’ demographic. The country also offers a very high number for mobile subscriptions per 100 inhabitants, the number being 115.06 as of 2018. Having made its mark already in other South Asian countries in the region that host similar markets (Pakistan and Bangladesh), Sri Lanka now seems like the next logical step in Infinix’s success story. Infinix is planning the launch of at least 2-3 total phone models in the upcoming weeks, all of which cater to the varying lifestyle needs of the Sri Lankan youth. The launch of these phones is expected to create a disruption in the high-performance phone segment in Sri Lanka, offering a variety of models that cater to varying lifestyles, needs and aesthetics, all at competitive prices that give premium high-performance phones a run for their money.
