- The Indian and Sri Lankan infrastructure and healthcare sector is poised for dramatic growth.
- The rising expectations of Indian and Sri Lankan citizens for an improved standard of living provides tremendous opportunities for U.S. firms to boost their infrastructure exports in the areas of environmental technologies, IT, and healthcare products and services.
Target Sectors
Target subsectors holding high potential for U.S. exporters include: urban development projects, airport/port development, hospitals and health care, hospitality, cold storage, multi-family residential and townships, educational, telecom, and oil exploration related services and supplies.
