OnePlus’s future in India looks uncertain as the brand is gradually scaling its operations. Previously, it was reported that OnePlus could exit the US and Europe markets as soon as next week. Now, according to a Bloomberg report, it may also exit India and other regions by 2027 as its parent company Oppo is reportedly considering a global restructuring that could see the OnePlus brand phased out in several markets.

The report suggests that OnePlus will remain in China, but it may shut operations across all overseas markets, including India, by 2027. On the other hand, Realme is also expected to completely exit the Chinese market.

It was revealed that the restructuring is being driven by financial pressure across Oppo's smartphone businesses, including weak sales in major markets like the US, Europe, and India. 

In addition, geopolitical concerns around selling Chinese-made smartphones in the US have also been a major hurdle for the brand. Oppo is also facing an ongoing legal dispute with Apple, further complicating its international operations.

Reportedly, Oppo will shift its focus to Central Europe, and Realme will concentrate on the Nordic countries like Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Iceland. However, OnePlus has not provided any confirmation on its exit from markets like the US, Europe, and India. 

OnePlus India has provided a statement to Business Today saying, "OnePlus India continues to operate its business as usual, with all local operations on track." 

"We urge the media to exercise restraint before amplifying unverified speculation," it added.

According to Bloomberg data, Chinese smartphone shipments dropped 4.3% year-on-year in the second quarter, reflecting the impact of soaring component costs on the broader handset industry. The shortage of smartphone components has had a bigger impact on OnePlus' Nord series than its other phones.
