India's semiconductor demand to see 15% CAGR, hitting USD 108 billion by 2030: UBS report

ANI April 12, 2025 176 views

India's semiconductor industry is poised for remarkable growth, with revenues expected to surge from $54 billion to $108 billion between 2025 and 2030. The UBS report highlights a robust 15% compound annual growth rate, fueled by favorable demographics and increasing electronics demand. Despite currently representing only 0.1% of global wafer capacity, India's tech talent pool gives it a unique competitive advantage. The market's potential is further enhanced by government policies and multinational corporations' strategic supply chain diversification.

"We see strong growth ahead for the market" - UBS Report
New Delhi, April 12: The Indian semiconductor industry's end-demand revenues will double from 2025 to 2030, growing from USD 54 billion to USD 108 billion, according to a report by financial services firm UBS.

Key Points

1

India's semiconductor end-market to double revenues by 2030

2

20% of global chip designers work in India

3

Localization opportunities estimated at $13 billion by 2030

4

Tech companies exploring "China plus one" strategy

The report further anticipates that the revenue from the localization opportunities will stay around 13 billion in revenues by 2030.

"We expect its semiconductor end-demand revenues to double from 2025 to 2030, growing from USD 54 billion to USD 108 billion. So we see strong growth ahead for the market, including a localization opportunity where we anticipate USD 13 billion in revenues in 2030," the report added.

The report further added that India's semiconductor end market to grow by 15 percent Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2025 to 2030, with annual revenues reaching USD 108 billion in 2030.

UBS said that this 15 percent CAGR estimate is faster than our forecast for the global semiconductor end market thanks to India's favorable demographics fueling strong electronics demand (and in turn semiconductors), rising enterprise adoption of advanced semiconductors, and favorable government policies.

India accounts for only 0.1 percent of global wafer capacity, around 1 percent of annual equipment spending, and a 6.5 percent semiconductor end-demand share, as per the report.

The UBS added that major tech companies are evaluating relocation of their supply chains amid the ongoing tariff uncertainties.

"A few companies have already embarked on their "China plus one" strategy by diversifying their final assembly locations beyond China," the report added.

India's tech advantage lies mostly in its vast talent pool in the software and services industry, whereas mainland China's dominance is in tech manufacturing.

In semiconductors, too, India has a unique advantage, with around 20 percent of global chip designers working in the country for multinational corporations.

Despite these uncertainties, the US and mainland China are the top end-markets. India, at 6.5 percent, is a solid end market for global semiconductors, with USD 54 billion in revenues in 2025.

While the growth numbers look impressive, I wonder if we're moving fast enough compared to other Asian markets. We need more domestic manufacturing capacity rather than just being a design hub. The 0.1% wafer capacity stat is concerning.

The "China plus one" strategy could be a game changer for India! So many of my friends in tech are already seeing new opportunities opening up. Hopefully this translates to more high-quality jobs in semiconductor manufacturing too 🤞

Interesting report, but I wish they provided more details about what specific government policies are driving this growth. Also curious how much of this will benefit local companies vs multinationals setting up shop here.
