India ICT - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026 - 2031)
Market Report I 2026-01-16 I 187 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
India ICT Market Analysis
The India ICT market size in 2026 is estimated at USD 173.26 billion, growing from 2025 value of USD 158 billion with 2031 projections showing USD 274.86 billion, growing at 9.66% CAGR over 2026-2031. The growth trajectory reflects how the India ICT market benefits from government digitization programs, record enterprise cloud migrations, and fast-rising consumer connectivity. Large hyperscaler projects, a flourishing startup ecosystem, and production-linked incentives continue to shift technology investments from cost optimization to strategic differentiation. Telecom operators are expanding 5G networks into Tier-2 cities, while enterprises channel budgets toward cloud-native architectures, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. Talent shortages and rural last-mile fiber gaps temper the otherwise buoyant outlook, but ongoing skilling initiatives and BharatNet roll-outs offer medium-term relief
India ICT Market Trends and Insights
Government Digital India and PLI Incentives Boosting Enterprise Tech Spend
The Production Linked Incentive scheme has attracted INR 1.46 lakh crore investments and generated INR 12.50 lakh crore production value, transforming electronics manufacturing capacity from INR 2.4 lakh crore in 2014 to INR 9.8 lakh crore in 2024. The IndiaAI mission allocates USD 1.25 billion to compute, innovation, and startup funding, laying a sovereign AI foundation. Eighty-two percent of CXOs plan digital budgets to rise by more than 5% during 2025, responding to compliance obligations and competitive needs. National Informatics Centre expansion to 1,000 MW IT load and 100 PB storage signals a long-term public infrastructure commitment that cascades into private technology demand. These interventions reinforce the India ICT market by ensuring robust local supply chains, stimulating enterprise modernization, and anchoring hyperscaler data-center projects.
Accelerated Cloud Adoption After COVID-19
Sixty-seven percent of Indian organizations are migrating workloads to cloud platforms, making hybrid the dominant deployment choice. Public-cloud revenue is forecast to reach USD 24.2 billion by 2028, growing at a 23.8% CAGR. Hyperscaler commitments totaling USD 21.7 billion from Microsoft, Amazon, and Google secure localized infrastructure that answers data sovereignty norms and performance targets. Enterprise AI spending is expanding at 2.2 the pace of general digital outlays, tethered to cloud platforms that deliver scalable compute and ready-made ML services. Cloud-native architectures speed product cycles and slash operational bottlenecks, reinforcing the competitive edge of early movers within the India ICT market.
Skill-Gap and High Attrition in Cutting-Edge Domains
Roughly 300,000 technology vacancies remain open, as AI, cloud-architecture, and cybersecurity demands outrun talent supply. Attrition in niche skills exceeds sector norms as specialists pursue global opportunities or startups, diluting institutional knowledge. Rising wage offers inflate project costs and squeeze margins across service providers in the India ICT market. Domain expertise shortages, such as healthcare informatics and industrial IoT, magnify the constraint because universities struggle to adapt curricula in real-time. Unless reskilling programs scale rapidly, delivery timelines and innovation velocity risk deceleration.

Segment Analysis
Telecommunication Services captured 36.50% India ICT market share in 2025, underpinned by vast 4G and 5G roll-outs and a consistent spectrum policy. Hardware demand rises in sync with PLI incentives that localize device and component manufacturing, reducing reliance on imports and strengthening supply resilience. Software adoption, especially AI-enabled platforms, records double-digit growth as enterprises embed analytics in workflows. IT Services continues the pivot from staff-augmentation to consulting-led, outcome-based engagements, safeguarding margins. Cloud Services, while smaller, shows the steepest climb at a 15.71% CAGR, reflecting data-center buildouts and enterprise shift to OPEX models.
Momentum in Cloud Services translates into a growing slice of the India ICT market size for infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, and software-as-a-service lines. Telecom firms pursue edge-cloud offerings to leverage tower real estate, and hardware vendors push AI-optimized chips to domestic OEMs. Software suppliers align with hyperscalers to offer vertical solutions infused with generative AI, creating cross-selling synergies. Overall, competition intensifies as cloud-native entrants nibble at legacy managed-service accounts.
