INDIA will make a significant strides in the global trade over the next five years, contributing about 6 per cent in the world’s trade growth, just behind China at 12 per cent and the United States at 10 per cent, as per a joint report by DHL and the New York University Stern School of Business.
The latest DHL Trade Atlas 2025 anticipates that in five years, India will retain its third-place rank on the scale dimension as well as jump 15 spots to the 17th position on the speed dimension as its compound annual trade volume growth rate rises from 5.2 per cent to 7.2 per cent.
The report highlighted that India was only the 13th largest participant in international trade in 2024, but its trade volume grew at a 5.2 per cent compound annual rate from 2019 to 2024, while global trade grew at only a 2.0 per cent rate.
“India’s rapid trade growth reflected both its swift macroeconomic growth and its increasing participation in international trade,” the report added.
“The Trade Atlas underlines India’s rapid expansion in global trade, positioning the country as a critical hub connecting the east and west. While we anticipate trade volume growth and an increase in global trade share, we remain cautiously optimistic about the future given the global economy’s general volatility,” said R S Subramanian, SVP South Asia, DHL Express.
