In the age of attempting perfection while producing goods at large volume, the replacement of manual tasks has taken place by electronic systems profusely. This sort of development not only improves the scale of productivity but also makes the ample time to infuse into new innovative models that can have the ability to break the prudent concept of yielding maximum profit return in an efficient way.
What Data Says?
The share of electronic systems in GDP of India has reached 30% in the year 2022, which is currently valued at $155 Bn with the domestic production for 65% in the Indian electronic market. The surging sector is propelling entrepreneurs' growth by providing them with a root level of planning propagation of government of India initiatives such as ‘Make In India’ and ‘Digital India’. The continuous monitoring and follow-ups taken by the government helps industry to boom in the country.
India, being the third largest startup ecosystem in the world, stimulates the drive towards making the global hub for ESDM (Electronic System For Design and Manufacturing) includes wholesome schemes such as PLI (Productive Linked Incentive) for large electronics components, Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters Schemes (EMC 2.0), PLI for IT hardware, Schemes for Promotion of Manufacturing Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS) have been initiated to foster the values of expanding growth in the Indian economy.
To strengthen the resilient global supply chain in the world, the Semicon India Program has launched the outlay incentive of $10 Bn to spread the sustaining web of semiconductor and display ecosystems in the country.
The share of semiconductors market has sought to target over US$ 110 Bn by 2030 while the display market has made a goal to reach around US$ 15 Bn by the year 2025 whereby two third of the semiconductor market is occupied by telecom stack and industrial applications. In order to evolve the semiconductors industry in India, the government has revamped to increase the wider networking of the semiconductor market by initiating the Talent Development Program by encouraging 85,000 semiconductors engineers.
While the electronic components market is continuously occupying its significant portion due to rising demand in consumer’s disposable incomes. India, being a young pool of talent, provides the competitive advantage in terms of workforce availability at cheap rates. The worth for domestic production of electronic components stood at US$ 9.9 Bn alone by contributing over US$ 14.6 Bn in exporting electronic goods.
