India is set to play a pivotal role in global trade expansion, contributing 6% of the projected growth in the coming years—placing it third behind only the United States and China, according to a recent report.

The findings highlight India’s rising influence in international commerce, driven by strong domestic demand, a growing manufacturing sector, and increasing foreign investment. The US and China remain the top contributors, but India’s expanding economy positions it as a key driver of future trade activity.

Experts attribute this growth to government initiatives like Make in India, improved infrastructure, and a push for export diversification. As global supply chains evolve, India’s role is expected to strengthen further, reinforcing its position as a major player in the world economy.
