New Delhi, Aug 16 (Ians) India’s semiconductor component market is likel to reach 300 billion in cumulative revenues by 2026, as ‘Make in India’ and production-linked incentive (Pli) schemes will boost local sourcing of semi-components in the coming years, a new report said on Tuesday.
Mobile and wearables, It and industrial segments currently contribute around 80 per cent of the semiconductor revenues in the country in 2021.
Further policy reforms and building of a semiconductor ecosystem will reduce reliance on imports going forward, according to the report by the India Electronics & Semiconductor Association (Iesa) and Counterpoint Research.
“Before the end of this decade, there will be nothing that will not be touched by electronics and the ubiquitous ‘chip’. Be it fighting carbon emissions, renewable energy, food safety, or healthcare, the semiconductor chip will be all-pervasive,” said Krishna Moorthy, CEO and President, Iesa.

New Delhi, Feb 2 (Ians) Nearly 35 per cent smartphones sold globally in the first half of 2020 had hardware security embedded in them, a new report has said. Apple led the secure chipset market in H1 2020 with 39 per cent share.
According to latest research from Counterpoint's Component Practice, this share is expected to reach 38 per cent in 2021.
Hardware-backed security (strong box) means that keys are stored in the secure element, which is a separate microchip.
"A trusted execution environment (Tee) is a secure area of the main processor which runs its Os and communicates with the main Os via a restricted interface. The strong box approach is more secure," explained Research Vice President Neil Shah.
"Apple's portfolio for 2020 has an embedded secure element in the A Series chipsets," he added.
Smartphones have become vulnerable to attacks. We use them for banking, financial transactions, biometrics, user data and even as digital keys for smart homes and automobiles.
