Indian mutual fund industry in 2042

With just over 3.5 crore unique investors with an AUM of 39.5 lakh crore in August 2022, India is still a highly underpenetrated market, making the potential for growth enormous. Industry forecasts peg AUM crossing *100 lakh crore within this decade. Given the strong structural trend of the increasing financialisation of savings and within it, the strong penetration opportunity for mutual funds, we could target crossing the 500 lakh crore mark in the next 20 years. More importantly, we can target to have over 50 crore unique investors, making mutual funds truly the primary savings vehicle for retail savers.
