9 Sectors Analysts are Monitoring in 2025

The stock market is a dynamic space, constantly evolving with opportunities and challenges. Many industries and sectors are showing signs of steady growth and boosting the Indian economy in 2025.

There are a number of factors that drive this growth, like government initiatives, global trends, and shifts in consumer behavior. It is important to understand these factors to make informed investment decisions. In this article, we will discuss the top 9 sectors that might skyrocket in 2025. Let’s get started!

1. Information Technology (IT)

India’s IT sector has been a global powerhouse for many years now. With the world becoming more digital, the demand for IT services is skyrocketing. The government’s ‘Digital India’ initiative aims to boost the digital economy, further growing this sector. 

HSBC Global Research published a report which stated that IT exports are expected to be US$210 billion in FY25 in India, contributing to 18% of the total outsourcing spending globally.

As per Gartner, spending in the IT sector in India is also expected to increase by 11.2% to about US$160 billion in 2025. Additionally, the IT-BPM sector is projected to account for 10% of India’s GDP in 2025, highlighting its significant contribution to the economy.

2. Banking and Financial Services

The financial sector in India is going through a transformation with the rise of fintech and digital banking. Government initiatives like Post Payment Banks and the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana are increasing the reach of this sector, further leading to rapid development and growth. It is anticipated that Indian banks are projected to see a credit growth of 12.5% in 2025. 

India’s FinTech sector is also projected to reach US$150 billion by 2025 and US$429 billion by 2029. As the 3rd largest FinTech ecosystem across the globe, and with over 2,000 DPIIT-recognised FinTech businesses, India is among the fastest-growing FinTech sectors. 

3. Consumer Goods (FMCG & Durables)

As more people move to cities and incomes rise, there’s a growing appetite for consumer goods. The Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector benefits from this trend, with increased consumption of daily essentials and lifestyle products. Urbanisation and changing consumer preferences towards branded products also support this growth.

Government initiatives like the Make in India Program and the National Food Processing Policy have also been launched to promote the growth of this sector. The FMCG sector is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% to 9%, with a revenue growth of 13% to 14% in FY2025. 

4. Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals

The healthcare sector has gained prominence, especially after recent global health challenges. There’s a growing demand for quality healthcare services and pharmaceutical products. 

India’s pharmaceutical industry is expected to grow by 9-11% in FY26, and the healthcare sector is projected to hit US$320 billion by 2028. Government initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme also aim to increase healthcare spending and improve medical infrastructure. 

Additionally, the use of AI is also growing in this sector, with AI healthcare investments projected to reach US$1.6 billion by 2025. These are all positive signs highlighting the growth of this sector in 2025. 

5. Infrastructure and Construction

Infrastructure development is a priority for India’s growth. The government’s National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) aims to invest significantly in projects across the country. This investment is expected to boost the construction sector, leading to job creation and improved connectivity. 

The sector is also expected to see a revenue growth of 12-15% in FY25 as per ICRA, indicating the solid growth of this sector in the coming years. 

6. Renewable Energy

With a global shift towards sustainable energy, India’s green energy stocks are set to witness a growth trajectory. Government policies promoting solar and wind energy, along with investments in green technologies, are driving this growth. Our country has crossed the renewable energy capacity of 200 GW and it aims to reach 500 GW by 2030. 

With more focus on infrastructure and energy storage, investments are set to double to hit US$32 billion in 2025. The total electricity generation capacity of India has also touched 452.69 GW and the focus on reducing carbon emissions and achieving energy security adds to the sector’s potential. 

7. Manufacturing

The manufacturing sector is set for growth as it is expected to contribute 21% (US$1,557 billion) of Gross Value Added (GVA) by 2032, an increase from the current 14%. Moreover, the ‘Make in India’ initiative aims to position India as a global manufacturing hub and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme is also creating many jobs to boost the economy. 

The contribution of the manufacturing industry in India’s economy is projected to cross 32%. This highlights the important role it is playing in helping India become a US$10 trillion economy by 2034. 

8. Agriculture and Agritech

Agriculture remains a significant part of India’s economy. The integration of technology in farming, known as Agritech, is transforming this sector. 

According to the Agricultural Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, India’s agriculture and allied sector is projected to grow by 3.5-4%. Moreover, the production of food grain is estimated to hit 164.7 million tonnes for the crop year ending June 2025.

9. Defence

India’s defence stocks are gearing up for significant growth with our country’s defense budget expected to reach US$415.9 billion, growing at a CAGR of 3.7% between 2025 and 2029. 

This growth is also driven by the government’s push for self-reliance through the Make in India and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives. The Government of India also increased the defence budget for FY25 to US$75 billion, up by 4.79% in FY24. This will impact the sector positively. 

Conclusion

These 9 sectors show potential in 2025, but it’s essential to conduct personal research and stay updated with market trends.
