The Story in Brief
India's share of global semiconductor chip production is forecast to rise from 0% in 2025 to 13% by 2030, according to a report by research firm Forrester. The Massachusetts-based firm's Global Sovereignty Forecast also said India's overall technology sovereignty score would improve only modestly, from 32% to 35%, over the same period.
Forrester noted that for midsize tech powers like India, the path forward depends less on full self-sufficiency and more on targeted investments, alliances, and public-private partnerships. Globally, average technology sovereignty across 14 countries will rise from 39% to 40%, with the US and China continuing to lead.
The Indian Opinion
Forrester's sobering forecast cuts through the hype around India's semiconductor push. While a jump to 13% production share is solid progress, the tiny 3-point gain in overall tech sovereignty warns against triumphalism. The real test is not just fab plants but sustained investment in AI, cloud, and talent. Will government incentives deliver scale or just scattered wins? The 2030 numbers will tell.
