China, India Top 10 Firms Lose Market Share to 19% as AI Race Lifts Rivals

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 28

Summary

  • China and India are now the only major markets where the 10 largest companies make up a smaller share of total market value than a year ago, with both dropping to about 19%.
  • Bloomberg-compiled data show China fell from 26% and India from 22%, suggesting their biggest listed firms have not captured the AI-driven gains that boosted market concentration elsewhere.
  • Hong Kong also became less top-heavy, with its largest companies' share edging down to 9.8% from 10%, leaving it the least concentrated major market.
  • The shift highlights how the global AI boom is reshaping equity leadership, favoring markets whose biggest companies are more exposed to the technology rally.
