By IETeam We’re currently in 2025, and by this point, everyone would agree that India is one nation where technological growth and innovation are kinda happening at a super fast pace. But what? Well, because now everyone understands the power of technology and how it can affect lives in a positive way, make profits in the long run, and also because there are specific policies by the government that help these future technologies. And if you’re kinda the person who always stays ahead of everyone else by thinking a lot through things, looking for trends, and predicting what will work in the future, then you shouldn’t be skipping past this post. Here, we’re about to discuss the top 10 future technologies in India, so, let’s just get to it.
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
Simply put, AI and ML are clever techniques that allow machines to function and think like humans, at least at some percentage of that, you know? Like, look at the recent AI trend that is going on, it already has a bunch of use cases in different fields such as healthcare, banking, and others, so it kinda is hard to ignore at this point. So no doubt, as of 2025, companies like TCS, Infosys, etc. are creating solutions to improve automation using AI technology that will make lives easy right here in India. And as a matter of fact, the AI market in India could hit $7.8 billion by 2025.
2. Internet of Things (IoT)
Next on the list, as many of you may already know, the Internet of Things involves networking different devices (for example, a refrigerator, car, or even a city) to the Internet. Why? Well, just to put it in the simplest words possible, well, it makes everything cleverer and more effective. Like, one great example is smart cities, where IoT can assist with traffic control, waste collection, and energy savings. And just so you know, farmers are also using IoT solutions to keep an eye on the weather, and soil conditions to grow a better crop. The country’s IoT market is set to grow significantly, hitting $15 billion by 2025, how about that now?
3. Blockchain Technology
It is 2025, and by this point, most people know about Blockchain, and if you don’t, well just know that it is a technology that allows for secure, transparent storage and transfer of data. You know like, it is already being used by banks to stop fraud, and in government projects to manage records like land ownership. A little bit of growth numbers here, well, the Indian blockchain market is expected to grow by 47% from 2022 to 2026.
4. Quantum Computing
Mark our words today, this whole quantum computing thing will be one of the best achievements we will have as a human race. Why and how? Well, a super powerful computing technology that can solve complex problems at incredible speed is called Quantum Computing, and tell us, which part of that doesn’t sound interesting and super useful? India is super interested in that, like, the Indian government is putting in a whopping ₹6,000 crore for research funding. You know, like, scientists from top schools such as the IITs and the IISc are working on it to solve problems in medicine, security, and finance.
5. Cloud Computing and Edge Computing
How about not saving all those files on your computer’s hard disk/drive and saving it somewhere on the internet aka cloud storage, from where you can access it however you want, whenever you want, and from wherever you want? Well, that is precisely what cloud computing sounds like. You know, it makes life easier for business organizations, schools, and hospitals. And sure enough, big names like Google and Microsoft are increasing their cloud services in India, so that’s good news already. And just so you know, India’s cloud market is projected to touch $13 billion by 2026.
6. Robotics and Automation
Next on the list, well, industries are increasingly deploying robots for faster and more accurately executed tasks, but why? Well, just so you know, businesses such as Tata Motors are deploying robots to manufacture vehicles as well as surgeries in hospitals. And sure enough, the robotics market in India has been rapidly scaling and can reach the size of about $710 million or even by 2030, well, at least the numbers project that.
7. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
As many of you may already be aware of the fact that AR and VR are technologies that create fun and interactive experiences, right? Like, they are not just for gaming but also used in education, real estate, and healthcare. And looking at that, the AR/VR market in India is expected to reach $6.5 billion by the end of this year, aka 2025.
8. 5G Technology
You must be wondering like 5G is something we’re using currently, so how is it a future technology? Well, it kinda is because still, as of 2025, we don’t have full coverage of 5G in the country. Though, With companies like Jio and Airtel investing in 5G, it will soon be available across India, we can say THAT for sure. And just so you know, with all the benefits of this fast network and connectivity, it is expected to contribute $450 billion to the Indian economy by 2040.
9. Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Sustainable Technology
You know, like, everybody says nowadays that electric vehicles are becoming more popular as they are cheaper to use and better for the environment, and that’s true as well. And sure enough, the Indian government is, via subsidies and building charging stations, trying to make people buy and use more and more EVs right here in India.
10. Cybersecurity Solutions
Well, there will always be demand for cybersecurity solutions and they will always make it to the list of the top future technologies. It is just for the one simple reason, everything is going online lately, and not everyone is smart enough to protect themselves from cyber criminals. And on top of that, these so-called cyber criminals are also getting smarter, so, the cybersecurity solutions had to be ahead in this game as well.
Conclusion
If you go by the opinion of industry experts, these are by far the future technologies that will be booming right here in India. And if you’re someone who is quick to adapt, then of course, you’d have the advantage of these technologies in your career or make more money in the future. Simple!
