The Sensor Economy of India

Every autonomous system, smart device and inspection line begins with a sensor — and India imports an estimated 65–75% of its sensor components by value, with domestic value-add concentrated in assembly. As the smart-sensor market scales toward ~US$9.8 billion by 2030, this report maps India’s sensor supply chain — MEMS, image, thermal, inertial and environmental — the depth of the import dependence, and the localisation, design and packaging opportunities the edge-AI wave opens.
