Why is the performance of India’s stock market so impressive?
Strong economic growth
The stellar performance in the India stock market closely follow India's economic growth, truly becoming an indicator of economic conditions.
India's economic activity remained robust this year, standing out amidst a global economic slowdown.
Faster GDP growth than US
Analysts attribute the rapid economic growth partly to the continuous improvement in India's per capita GDP.
In 2022, India's per capita GDP reached $2388.6, a 27.77x increase from $83 in 1960.
During the same period, the per capita GDP in the United States increased from $3001 to $76328, a 24.43x rise.
Young demographic structure
Analysts generally believe that India's rapid population growth, coupled with a relatively young demographic structure (with a median age of 28 years), further supports economic growth.
