Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'tech' (technology) specifies the type of 'industry' (a sector producing goods or services), so the overall sense is predictable from the constituents. This noun–noun compounding pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Tech industry comes from joining tech, short for 'technology' and meaning machines, computers and new tools, with industry, meaning businesses that make or sell things. So it literally names the group of businesses that make, sell, or work with technology today.
