South Korea and Taiwan Narrow Gap with India in Market Capitalization Amid AI Growth

South Korea and Taiwan are rapidly closing the gap with India in market capitalization, driven largely by growth in AI-related companies like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Samsung Electronics, and SK Hynix. While India's market cap has declined 5% this year amid foreign investor caution, Taiwan and South Korea have seen significant gains fueled by AI chipmakers. Experts note India's lack of prominent AI-focused stocks may affect its market appeal, though market cap alone does not fully reflect economic strength.
