India's equity market-cap to hit $6.1 trillion by 2027: Morgan Stanley

Market-capitalisation (market-cap) of Indian equities is likely to hit $6.1 trillion by 2027, up from $2.3 trillion in 2017, predicts Morgan Stanley in its recent Asian equity Strategy Report titled: Asia’s Financial Acceleration – Moving Centre Stage.

“Within the Asian region, India's equity market is expected to grow the fastest of the major markets at 10.1 per cent compounded annual growth rate (CAGR), reaching $6.1 trillion by 2027. Market-cap of China/Hong Kong equities combined will increase at a 7.9 per cent CAGR from $13.8 trillion currently to $30 trillion, almost the current size of US equity market-cap of $31 trillion. Japan would be the next largest equity market at $8 trillion,” the Morgan Stanley report co-authored by Jonathan Garner, their chief Asia & emerging markets equity strategist says.

The research house also expects the market-cap of Asian equities (combined) to double to $56 trillion over the next 10 years.
