Top 5 Tech and Consumer trends to expect in 2025

While we saw what ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and others could do, the increasing capabilities of logical reasoning in generative artificial intelligence models will enable them to operate more autonomously with more reliable outputs. GenAI based wearables such as Meta’s Ray-Bans and Solos AirGo Vision could create a new market segment for more companies, and some may well make it available to mass-market consumers. Satellite Connectivity: India's reforms in foreign direct investment, telecommunications and space policy are paving the way for satellite communications with ubiquitous and affordable connectivity, especially in remote and rural areas, said Sandeep Arora, vice president and industry platform leader for telecom at Capgemini India. The initiatives have opened the sector for international players like SpaceX’s Starlink and Amazon’s Kuiper even as Indian origin global players like Eutelsat-OneWeb and Jio-SES prepare to launch their services. Indian consumers find FWA as good as fibre with satisfaction levels near fibre, particularly in markets like US, where it’s often used as a backup connection, said Jasmeet Sethi, head of Ericsson ConsumerLab.
