India's stock market slips to fourth in APAC investor rankings; fund managers pivot to semiconductor wave: Report

India’s stock market has slipped to fourth place in the Asia-Pacific region as global investors shift their focus to Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, according to a new report. Only about 10% of fund managers are heavily invested in India right now, while the semiconductor industry’s rebound is drawing money toward other markets. Meanwhile, India’s IT sector is struggling, and foreign investors remain cautious, waiting for stronger signals before jumping back in.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about rankings—it’s a sign that India’s market is losing some of its shine compared to regional peers. The semiconductor boom is pulling money toward tech-heavy economies like Taiwan and South Korea, while India’s IT sector, a longtime growth engine, is facing challenges. For investors, it’s a wait-and-see game until clearer opportunities emerge. If this trend holds, India might need fresh catalysts—policy moves, sectoral growth, or foreign inflows—to regain its footing.
