NXP Semiconductors Eyes Up to 10 Percent of Revenue from India by 2030, According to Executive
NXP Semiconductors, a leading global semiconductor company, has set its sights on India as a major growth market, projecting that the country could contribute between 8 to 10 percent of its total revenue over the next three to five years. According to Hitesh Garg, the head of NXP India, the rapidly expanding automotive and industrial sectors in India are expected to drive this surge in sales. In a statement made during an industry event in Bengaluru, Garg highlighted that India’s importance as a market for NXP will continue to rise in the coming years, with the company planning to leverage the country’s growing demand for semiconductors, particularly in automotive and industrial applications.
Despite India being a smaller market for semiconductor companies compared to regions like North America and Europe, NXP sees significant potential in the country. The company has not yet broken down its revenue figures from India, but Garg emphasized that the next few years will be crucial for the company’s strategy in the region. As India becomes a hub for automotive innovation, particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) sector, NXP is positioning itself to capture a larger share of this evolving market, which requires advanced semiconductor solutions for everything from vehicle control systems to electric powertrains.
The shift in focus towards India is also timely, as the semiconductor industry faces challenges in other major markets, particularly China. NXP, along with other automotive chipmakers, has seen its sales to China come under pressure due to China’s aggressive investments in the production of older chips, as well as the impact of European tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. With these headwinds in key markets, NXP’s pivot towards India aligns with the company’s broader strategy to diversify its revenue streams and capitalize on new opportunities in the fast-growing Indian market.
India’s growing technological ecosystem, fueled by the government’s push for a self-reliant semiconductor industry and the rise of electric vehicles and smart infrastructure, offers significant growth prospects for companies like NXP. With the automotive and industrial sectors expected to be the key drivers of demand, NXP is well-positioned to take advantage of India’s expanding role in the global semiconductor supply chain. As the country continues to evolve as a technology and manufacturing hub, NXP’s investment in India will likely pay off, helping the company establish a strong presence in one of the world’s most promising markets.
