Top Indian exports 2025

Part 1: The Export Reality Check (The Hook)

A. Introduction: The Two-Speed Export Economy

• The Big Picture: Start by acknowledging the dual nature of Indian exports in 2025. While cumulative exports show moderate growth, many traditional sectors (like Engineering Goods and Gems & Jewellery) are facing steep double-digit declines due to global demand slowdown and punitive tariffs (e.g., US tariffs imposed in August 2025).

• The Opportunity: Emphasize that the path to success in 2025 lies in strategically shifting focus to high-growth, value-added sectors that are either protected by government incentives or aligned with major global supply chain shifts.

• The Globax Difference: We help you de-risk your export strategy by shifting focus from volatile traditional products to resilient, high-margin, and compliance-ready sectors.

Part 2: The 5 High-Growth, High-Margin Export Sectors for 2025/2026

These sectors are either performing robustly or are strategically supported to dominate future trade, based on current data.

1. Electronic Goods (The Undeniable Leader)

• The Trend: This is the fastest-growing major sector, with exports surging over 50% year-on-year in recent months. The Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme has transformed India into a global manufacturing hub, particularly for smartphones, components, and solar modules.

• The Challenge: Connecting high-volume production with reliable, large-scale global buyers and managing complex sourcing/logistics.

• Globax Strategy: We focus on B2B lead generation to secure long-term OEM contracts and optimize supply chains for high-volume, global shipments.

2. Drugs & Pharmaceuticals (The Resilience Play)

• The Trend: Demand for generic drugs, biologics, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) remains consistently high, especially in North America and Africa. This sector is often protected from tariffs.

• The Challenge: Stringent compliance with bodies like the US FDA and EU GMP/MHRA. One compliance failure can halt all exports.

• Globax Strategy: Our consulting ensures your documentation, facility compliance, and registration processes are flawless, guaranteeing uninterrupted market access for high-value pharma products.

3. Engineering Goods (The Strategic Shift)

• The Trend: While overall engineering goods exports are down due to US tariff pressure, demand for niche, high-precision components, machinery, and auto parts in diversified markets (like the EU, UAE, and ASEAN) is holding up.

• The Challenge: Mitigating risk from traditional markets and navigating complex Rules of Origin for new Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).

• Globax Strategy: We perform market diversification analysis to pivot sales away from high-tariff regions and toward high-growth, low-tariff FTA partners.

4. Marine Products & Specialty Foods

• The Trend: High demand for frozen shrimp and marine exports continues. Furthermore, the global trend toward Organic Spices, Millets, and Specialty Cereals offers a high-margin opportunity, particularly in Europe.

• The Challenge: Food Safety Compliance (HACCP, USFDA, EU/FSA standards) and ensuring product traceability.

• Globax Strategy: We provide end-to-end guidance on international food certification and digital traceability systems, which are crucial for winning high-value retail contracts.

5. Services Exports (The Unstoppable Force)

• The Trend: Although not a “product,” IT, Computer, and Business Services are India’s single largest export engine, growing consistently and providing a buffer against merchandise trade volatility.

• The Challenge: Leveraging this digital strength to support physical goods exports (e.g., using AI/ML for supply chain optimization).

• Globax Strategy: We link your physical product export strategy to our digital growth services, using IT/AI tools for finding B2B buyers and managing global logistics.
