10 nm Chips to Dominate 60% of India’s Semiconductor Market by 2032

The semiconductor landscape in India is on the brink of a significant transformation. According to a soon-to-be-released report by the Indian Electronics & Semiconductor Association (IESA), in collaboration with the government, chips smaller than 10 nanometres (nm) are set to account for 60% of India’s semiconductor demand by 2032.

A Shifting Market

Currently, sub-10 nm chips make up just 24-25% of the $40 billion Indian semiconductor market. However, as technological advancements continue to accelerate, the demand for these smaller, more efficient chips is expected to rise dramatically. By 2030, the report projects that India’s semiconductor market will exceed $100 billion, with sub-10 nm chips leading the charge.

The Driving Factors

This shift is being driven by the growing adoption of advanced technologies, including 5G, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT), all of which require high-performance chips with smaller footprints. As industries across the board—from telecommunications to automotive—push for more powerful and energy-efficient solutions, the demand for sub-10 nm chips is expected to surge.

Implications for the Industry

For manufacturers and investors, this trend signals a critical opportunity. Companies involved in the design and production of sub-10 nm chips will likely see increased demand and investment. Additionally, this shift underscores the importance of India's growing role in the global semiconductor market.

Conclusion

As India’s semiconductor market evolves, the focus on sub-10 nm chips is poised to reshape the industry. By 2032, these tiny yet powerful chips will dominate the market, marking a new era for technology and innovation in India.

Stay tuned for the full report from IESA, which will offer deeper insights into the future of India’s semiconductor industry.
