India Wealth Management Market Dynamics
Earned income is the prime source of HNW wealth creation in India, reflecting the presence of a large number of high-earning executives in the country. As an economic powerhouse in Asia, India is home to several conglomerates and technology giants, with many global multinational corporations establishing their headquarters and operations in the country. As the Indian economy recovers from the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, executive compensation has been on the rise. A few of the other sources of income in India are entrepreneurial income, family business, and inheritance.
In terms of industrial growth despite the global economic downturn, the Indian economy has remained resilient with an estimated GDP growth rate of 7.3% in FY 2023–24. Surging domestic demand, increasing public infrastructure investment, and easing inflation are the key factors responsible for the Indian industrial sector growth. The top three contributors to HNW wealth including healthcare, tech and telecommunications, and financial services reported strong growth in 2023. The healthcare sector was the leading wealth generator for Indian HNW investors in 2023 benefitting from increased government investment and reforms in the sector. In September 2023, the Ayushman Bhav initiative was introduced to extend healthcare services to all villages in India. Growing structural healthcare reforms coupled with increasing consumer income and an aging population are expected to further fuel growth in the sector, supporting wealth generation.
