Korean electronics major Samsung is eyeing a 20 per cent share of India’s growing netbook market this year as it expands its product portfolio and distribution chain in the country.

The company, which forayed into the netbook segment last year, has a portfolio of nine models in its range, priced between Rs 17,290 and Rs 23,990.

“We expect netbook sales to contribute to 50 per cent of overall portable PC sales. Even though we forayed into the segment only last year, there has been tremendous growth and we hope to end the year with a 20 per cent market share,” Samsung India Director (IT and Mobility) Ranjit Yadav told PTI.

All leading domestic and international vendors, such as HP, Dell, Lenovo and HCL Infosystems, have a range of netbooks in their portfolio.
