Optiemus announces locally made RhinoTech screen protectors for mobiles, engineered by Corning
Electronics contract manufacturer
Optiemus Infracom
Wednesday announced the launch of locally made
tempered glass screen protectors
for mobile phones, manufactured in collaboration with US-based
Corning
.
The screen protectors will be sold under the brand name RhinoTech.
Optiemus is projecting a revenue of Rs 1800-2000 crore by end of FY27 following the launch of the tempered glass.
The company said this is the first time in India that advanced screen protectors will be produced locally and made available for both the domestic and international market.
According to Optiemus, demand for tempered glass screen protectors is expected to surge to Rs 20,000 crore in 2025, shipping 400 million pieces. Currently over 90% demand is met through low-cost imports leading to inconsistent quality and an unorganised market.
Ahead of the launch of Optiemus' screen protectors, the
Bureau of Indian Standards
, through a Gazette notification on July 28th, announced a standard for "
chemically tempered glass
screen protectors".
"We are committed to establishing India as a global hub for high-value mobile accessories. It is our aspiration that every Indian mobile phone user enjoys the assurance of
Make in India
tempered glass screen protector, certified by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and marked with a fog stamp for the highest quality and protection," said Ashok Gupta, chairman,
Optiemus Infracom
in a joint statement.
The screen protectors will be made at Optiemus' facility in Noida. Initially, Optiemus will target the premium end of the
smartphone market
with screen protectors. The screen protectors will be available in the market from September 2025, ahead of the festive season.
"We are excited to work with Optiemus to help offer Indian consumers the choice of a screen protector that is marked as Engineered by Corning. We believe that this development will support the country's growing need for providing screen protectors for the mobile consumer electronics industry," said Sudhir Pillai, managing director, Corning India in a joint statement.
