India’s semiconductor chip production score will rise from 0% in 2025 to 13% by 2030: Forrester
A report by Forrester predicts that India's semiconductor chip production will grow from 0% in 2025 to 13% by 2030. However, the firm notes that achieving broader technology sovereignty will remain challenging for most nations, including India, requiring sustained investment in AI and infrastructure.
Why it matters
Semiconductor self-sufficiency is a critical component of modern economic and national security strategies for emerging powers.
India’s semiconductor chip production score is forecast to rise from 0% in 2025 to 13% by 2030, reflecting growing momentum around the country’s semiconductor ambitions, said Forrester, a Massachusetts-based research and advisory firm.
However, it said, India’s overall technology sovereignty score is expected to improve only modestly, from 32% in 2025 to 35% by 2030, underscoring that broader technology autonomy will require sustained investment in artificial intelligence (AI), cloud, data center capacity, software, talent, and strategic partnerships.
“For midsize and emerging technology powers such as India, the path forward will depend less on full self-sufficiency and more on targeted investments, open technologies, alliances, and durable public-private partnerships,’’ it said .
