Hanwha Group is accelerating its expansion in India, positioning the country as a strategic hub for its technology solutions business. By combining AI-driven security, industrial automation, and energy-related capabilities, the group is aligning its growth strategy with India’s rapid digital and industrial transformation.
India’s scale and momentum are central to this approach. With a population of over 1.4 billion and sustained economic growth, the country is increasingly viewed as a critical market for global technology companies. Rising demand for digital infrastructure, smart city development, and industrial automation is creating new opportunities across multiple sectors.
Within this landscape, Hanwha Vision has emerged as a key player. The company recently secured India’s mandatory STQC certification for cybersecurity compliance, a prerequisite for supplying security equipment in the market. The certification is widely regarded as a major entry barrier, and its acquisition signals that Hanwha Vision has cleared a critical hurdle for long-term market expansion.
Following the certification, the company has already begun translating its presence into tangible results. In the first quarter alone, Hanwha Vision secured multiple contracts to deploy video surveillance systems for global clients operating in sectors such as finance, retail, and logistics. Industry observers expect further contract wins as demand for advanced security solutions continues to grow.
The company’s go-to-market strategy also emphasizes direct engagement with local customers. Through roadshows held in major cities including Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi, Hanwha Vision showcased its proprietary system-on-chip (SoC)-based Wisenet solutions. Strong interest from local businesses, along with on-site deal signings, highlighted the growing demand for high-performance, reliable security technologies.
India’s video surveillance market is projected to expand at an annual rate exceeding 10% through the end of the decade, driven by increasing adoption of AI-based analytics and smart infrastructure projects. In this context, early market positioning is expected to play a decisive role in shaping long-term competitiveness.
Hanwha Vision plans to further strengthen its footprint by expanding product lineups, increasing local technical support resources, and establishing additional experience centers where customers can directly engage with its technologies. This approach reflects a shift from product supply toward building deeper customer relationships and brand trust.
At the same time, Hanwha Momentum is also expanding its presence in India. The company recently secured equipment supply contracts worth hundreds of billions of won in the battery and automation sectors. Demand for integrated automation solutions is rising across industries such as energy storage systems (ESS), chemicals, automotive, and logistics, reinforcing the company’s growth prospects in the region.
These moves are aligned with Hanwha Group’s broader structural transformation. As the group advances its plan to reorganize its tech and life solution businesses under a new holding structure, stronger synergies and increased investment are expected to further enhance its competitiveness in high-growth markets like India.
Industry analysts see Hanwha’s expansion as part of a broader shift in global strategy. As emerging markets evolve into technology hubs, companies are increasingly focusing on building early footholds to capture long-term growth opportunities. India, in particular, is becoming a focal point where infrastructure demand and technological adoption intersect.
Hanwha’s approach reflects this changing dynamic. Rather than pursuing incremental expansion, the group is leveraging its core technologies in AI, security, and automation to establish a more integrated presence. How effectively this strategy translates into sustained growth in India and beyond will be closely watched in the coming years.
