Indian Electronics Industry 2013

Major opportunity lies in the electronics manufacturing industry as demand and supply gap is expected to further increase. Most raw materials are not available locally and need to be imported from China, Taiwan and Korea. As per Department of Electronics & Information Technology (DeitY), demand for electronics hardware in India is Rs.3.4 lakh crores in FY12 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 25% to Rs 20 lakh crores by FY20. But the estimated production currently at Rs.1.6 lakh crores is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% to reach only Rs.5.2 lakhs by FY20, creating a gap of Rs.14.8 lakh crores in demand and production. This creates a unique opportunity for electronics companies looking at India as their next manufacturing hub with a large domestic demand.
