As
one of the world’s largest democracies, India is commited to
political freedom and strives for ever-greater economic
freedom. With significant investment in its infrastructure,
political stability, and increases in information technology,
India has become increasingly accessible and conducive for
foreign business.
With a sustained GDP growth rate of 8%, India is a rapidly developing country with ample business prospects for U.S. exporters. The U.S. is India’s largest trading partner with 5.9% of India’s imports coming from the U.S. And yet, the pace of India-U.S trade is accelerating. In 2007, U.S. exports totaled $17.6 billion, a 75% increase from the previous year.
- Experts forecast that in the next 15-20 years, 40% of India’s population, more than 400 million people, will enter India’s middle class.
- India is projected to become a top-ten market for U.S. goods and service by 2009 and to have and maintain the fast growth rate in the world by 2011.
Leading sectors for U.S. exports include:
| Airport and Ground Handling Eq. | Education Services | Electric Power Generation |
| Oil and Gas Field Machinery | Computers and Peripherals | Franchising and Retailing |
| Distribution and Transmission Eq. | Medical Equipment | Telecommunications Eq. |
