Global market capitalization surged by 22.1% in 2025, reaching $27.4 trillion. In contrast, India's stock market saw a modest 2.8% increase, falling behind global and Asian peers. This underperformance was attributed to foreign outflows, a weakening rupee, and concerns over trade deals. India's share of global market capitalization decreased to 3.5%, with South Korea and China showing significant gains. Despite this, India remains among the top 10 global contributors to market capitalization.
