India is at the cusp of a seismic shift in the electronics and semiconductor industry. Dr. Satya Gupta, President of the VLSI Society of India, recently highlighted that the country’s electronics consumption will soar to a staggering $3 trillion by 2047, with semiconductors playing a key role in the growth. The semiconductor sector is expected to contribute between $800 billion to $850 billion during this period, opening up unprecedented career opportunities for VLSI professionals.

With such rapid growth, the demand for skilled engineers in fields like VLSI design, semiconductor technology, and chip development will skyrocket. In this context, MOSartsLabs, in collaboration with IIT Bhubaneswar, offers a unique IIT-certified VLSI program that prepares electronics engineers to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Explosive Growth of the Semiconductor Industry:
As Dr. Gupta mentions, India’s electronics consumption currently stands at $200 billion in 2024, with semiconductors contributing about $40 billion. By 2030, the country’s electronics consumption is expected to hit $500 billion, with semiconductors accounting for $100–110 billion. Fast forward to 2047, and India’s semiconductor market alone could reach $800 billion to $850 billion.
This growth represents a golden opportunity for India to become a global leader in semiconductor and VLSI technology. However, to harness this potential, India must focus on three key areas:
- Boosting domestic manufacturing
- Fostering innovation
- Developing globally competitive products
Why This Is the Perfect Time for Electronics Engineers to Join a VLSI Course:
VLSI engineers are the backbone of the semiconductor industry. The $410 billion opportunity in semiconductors by 2047, as highlighted by Dr. Gupta, will require a large pool of skilled professionals who can design and develop cutting-edge chips that will power AI, IoT, 5G, and much more.
As an electronics engineering student, now is the perfect time to jumpstart your career by enrolling in a VLSI program. With the industry expanding rapidly, the demand for VLSI professionals will only increase. By gaining the right skills, certifications, and hands-on experience, you can position yourself at the forefront of this booming industry.

Challenges and the Road Ahead:
Despite the immense growth potential, there are still challenges to overcome. India lacks a robust ecosystem for domestic product development, which limits local consumption of semiconductors. Dr. Gupta emphasizes the need to develop homegrown products such as mobile phones, wearables, laptops, and electric vehicles. Without these products, the chips India manufactures will have limited domestic demand.
Moreover, there is a disparity in the government’s incentives, with more focus on manufacturing rather than innovation. To fully harness the semiconductor opportunity, India needs to create a balanced ecosystem that fosters product development, innovation, and talent creation.
Conclusion:
The $410 billion opportunity in semiconductors by 2047 presents a once-in-a-lifetime chance for India to become a global leader in the tech sector. As the demand for VLSI professionals grows, electronics engineering students must act quickly to gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in this booming industry.
