India currently depends on imports to meet its semiconductor needs, as the country still lacks a fully operational domestic chip manufacturing facility. In today’s tech-driven world, the semiconductor industry is vital for economic development.
While India’s semiconductor sector is still in the early stages and accounts for just 3% of the global market, the country is now in a strong position to take advantage of rising chip demand across industries such as electronics, automobiles, telecom, and artificial intelligence.
Now, let’s explore the top-performing semiconductor stocks as of May 2025, based on their 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
As of 2022, India’s semiconductor market was valued at US$ 26.3 billion. It is projected to grow at a robust CAGR of 26.3%, potentially reaching US$ 271.9 billion by 2032. This rapid expansion is mainly driven by the rising use of smartphones and computers, coupled with the government’s efforts to push digital initiatives and online services, particularly in rural regions.
India’s role in the global semiconductor space is becoming increasingly significant, backed by major investments from both Indian and global players. Several companies have set up manufacturing units and R&D centres across the country. For example, Tata Electronics has committed to large-scale investments in chip manufacturing plants in Gujarat and Assam, forming strategic alliances with international leaders like PSMC and Renesas Electronics Corporation.
