Global economic growth
The global economy started 2024 with the confidence that inflation was largely beaten and that major economies would likely avoid recession. But as the year drew to a close, a nagging worry crept in: inflation proved to be much stickier than wed hoped. While the US economy powered ahead, many other developed nations struggled to keep pace. On top of that, many countries saw their currencies lose value, a situation that could become especially tricky for developing economies.
Stepping in 2025, the global economic activity is expected to maintain modest momentum in 2025 owing to the likely shift
in policy following numerous elections around the world. New policies could lead to new trajectories for inflation, borrowing costs, and currency values, as well as trade flows, capital flows, and costs of production. According to the IMF, the global economy is expected to grow at 3.3% both in 2025 and 2026, primarily on account of an upward revision in the United States offsetting downward revisions in other major economies. Global headline inflation is expected to decline to 4.2% in 2025 and to 3.5% in 2026, converging back to target earlier in advanced economies than in emerging market and developing economies.
Global inflation is expected to ease gradually, dropping from 4.5% in 2024 to 3.5% in 2025, though it will still remain slightly above the 3.1% level seen in 2019. Advanced economies are likely to rein in inflation more quickly than emerging markets, but the path to price stability may not be smooth. Peistent wage and services inflation in some regions could lead to uneven monetary policy responses. Additionally, facto such as rising protectionism, geopolitical tensions, supply chain adjustments, and demographic shifts could keep inflationary pressures elevated, adding uncertainty to the global outlook.
Growth projections for advanced economies are taking different paths. In the United States, strong consumer demand continues to drive momentum, supported by rising wealth, a relatively
flexible monetary policy, and favourable financial conditions. The economy is expected to grow by 2.7% in 2025 - 0.5 percentage points higher than the previous forecast in October. This upward revision reflects the carryover effect from 2024, along with a resilient job market and increasing investments. However, by 2026, growth is anticipated to gradually ease, aligning with its long-term potential.
Growth in the euro area is expected to improve, but at a slower pace than previously anticipated. Ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to dampen confidence, and weaker-than-expected momentum in late 2024 - particularly in manufacturing - has led to a downward revision of the 2025 growth forecast to 1.0%, 0.2 percentage points lower than earlier estimates. However,
by 2026, growth is projected to reach 1.4%, driven by stronger domestic demand as financial conditions ease, confidence strengthens, and uncertainty gradually subsides.
In emerging markets and developing economies, economic growth in 2025 and 2026 is expected to stay on par with 2024.
Chinas 2025 growth forecast has been slightly revised upward by 0.1 percentage point to 4.6%, mainly due to momentum from 2024 and the fiscal stimulus announced in November, which is helping counterbalance the negative impact of trade policy uncertainties and challenges in the property sector. In 2026, growth is expected to remain steady at 4.5%, as trade concerns ease and an increase in the retirement age helps slow down labour supply decline.
Meanwhile, Indias economy is projected to maintain a robust growth rate of 6.5% in both 2025 and 2026, consistent with earlier forecasts and aligned with the countrys long-term potential.
Economic growth in the Middle East and Central Asia is expected to improve, though not as much as previously anticipated. A key factor behind this adjustment is the 1.3 percentage point downgrade in Saudi Arabias 2025 growth forecast, largely due to the extension of OPEC+ production cuts.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, overall growth is set to edge up to 2.5% in 2025, even as some of the regions largest economies experience a slowdown. Meanwhile, sub-Saharan Africa is projected to see stronger growth next year, while emerging and developing Europe is likely to face a slowdown.
Outlook
According to the IMF, factoring in recent market trends and the impact of rising trade policy uncertainty, the uncertainty surrounding the global economy is expected to peist throughout 2025. However, the probable impact of any potential policy changes that are still under discussion.
In 2025, energy commodity prices are expected to decline by 2.6%, largely due to weaker oil demand from China and increased supply from non-OPEC+ countries (which includes Russia), though rising gas prices - caused by colder weather, supply disruptions, and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East - partly offset the decline. Meanwhile, non-fuel commodity prices are projected to rise by 2.5%, mainly driven by higher food and beverage costs due to advee weather affecting major produce.
On the monetary front, major central banks are expected to continue lowering interest rates, though at different speeds, depending on their respective economic growth and inflation outlooks. Fiscal policies in advanced economies, including the U.S., are expected to tighten in 2025-26, with a lesser degree of tightening in emerging and developing markets.
Indian economy overview
Even in FY25, the Indian economy continued to emerge as of the fastest growing economies in the world, but at a sluggish pace compared to the previous yea. Slower growth in the fit half of the fiscal (6%) led the RBI to bring down the annual projection to 6.6% (down from an earlier projection of 7%). However, according to the fit advance estimates, Indias real GDP is expected to grow at 6.4% in FY25.
Some of the key facto which helped drive the growth of the Indian economy include, rural consumption has remained robust, supported by strong agricultural performance, while the services sector continues to be a key driver of growth. Manufacturing exports, particularly in high-value-added components (such as electronics, semiconducto, and pharmaceuticals), have displayed strength, undecoring Indias growing role in global value chains.
Indias current account deficit (CAD) widened to USD 11.5 billion in the third quarter (Q3) of FY25 from USD 10.4 billion in the year-ago quarter due to increase in merchandise trade deficit. However, CAD was unchanged at 1.1% in terms of percentage of GDP. However, on the positive side, CAD moderated from USD 16.7 billion (1.8% of GDP) in Q2 FY25 to USD 11.5 billion (1.1% of GDP). For Q4 FY25, it is expected that the current account to witness a surplus of USD 4-6 billion aided by a seasonal uptick in merchandise exports and the resulting moderation in the merchandise trade deficit, as well as healthy services surpluses. For the entire fiscal year (FY25), the CAD is expected to hover around 0.8% of GDP.1
Indias foreign exchange reserves have continued their upward trajectory, reaching USD 676.3 billion as of April 4, 2025, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This marks the highest level in five months and reflects gains for the fifth straight week. With this achievement, India has firmly positioned itself as the worlds fourth-largest holder of forex reserves, following China, Japan, and Switzerland. The journey of Indias forex reserves has been remarkable rising from just USD 29.3 billion in March 1997 to an impressive USD 644.39 billion by December 2024. More than just a number, these reserves are a testament to Indias economic resilience and prudent financial management. In times of global uncertainty, they act as a vital buffer, strengthening market confidence and supporting economic stability. They also play a critical role in bolstering the national currency, facilitating debt repayments, and promoting vibrant trade activities.2
Indias economic growth momentum remains strong, with the real Gross Value Added (GVA) projected to expand by 6.4% in FY25. The agriculture sector is set for a healthy rebound, expected to grow at 3.8%, reflecting resilience in farm output. The industrial sector is poised for 6.2% growth, supported by a surge in construction activities and steady expansion in electricity, gas, water supply, and other utilities. Meanwhile, the services sector continues to be a key driver of economic activity, projected to grow at 7.2%, fuelled by strong performance in financial and real estate services, professional secto, public administration, and defence. This balanced expansion across secto undecores the economys robustness and adaptability in the face of evolving challenges.3
Despite the overall positive outlook, certain challenges peisted, particularly in the manufacturing sector. Export growth in this segment faced a notable slowdown, largely due to subdued demand from key international markets. Additionally, the aggressive trade and industrial policies adopted by major trading nations further intensified the pressure, creating a more competitive and restrictive global landscape for manufacturing exports.
In its January 2025 update of the World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised Indias real GDP growth projection for FY25 to 6.5%, marking a 0.5 percentage point downgrade from its October 2024 forecast. This adjustment largely stems from an unexpected 12.3% contraction in the Government of Indias capital expenditure during the fit eight months of FY25 - a stark contrast to the budgeted 17.1% growth over FY24s actuals, as reported by the Controller General of Accounts (CGA). The slowdown in public investment has, in turn, dampened gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) - a key indicator of investment activity - bringing its estimated growth down to 6.4% in FY25, compared to 9.0% in FY24. On the external front, however, there is a silver lining. The estimated 1.7 percentage point positive contribution of net exports to real GDP growth reflects the benefits of lower crude oil prices, even as global economic uncertainties continue to pose challenges for the economy.4
Indias net direct tax collections for FY25 witnessed a robust 13.57% growth, rising to 22.26 lakh crore. This figure not only exceeded the initial budget estimates but fell just short of the revised target, largely due to lower-than-expected non-corporate tax receipts. Reflecting the strength of this performance, tax buoyancy - which measures the growth in direct taxes relative to GDP growth - improved to 1.57, up from 1.54 in FY24. For context, the net direct tax collection in FY24 stood at 19.60 lakh crore, underlining the strong momentum carried into the new fiscal year.5
Indian MSME sector
The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector is a critical enabler of Indias socio-economic progress. Beyond driving economic growth, it plays a crucial role in shaping the nations entrepreneurial landscape, particularly in semiurban and rural regions. Its contributions extend far beyond numbe, fuelling innovation, creating jobs, and strengthening local economies. As a key engine of Indias GDP and exports, the MSME sector continues to be a catalyst for inclusive and sustainable development.
As a cornetone of Indias industrial ecosystem, the MSME sector drives manufacturing, exports, and employment, shaping the nations economic fabric. With 5.93 crore registered MSMEs employing over 25 crore people, these enterprises form the backbone of economic activity. In 2023-24, MSME- related products contributed 45.73% of Indias total exports, undecoring their pivotal role in establishing the country as a global manufacturing powerhouse. Recognizing this, the latest budgetary provisions focus on fostering innovation, enhancing
competitiveness, and improving resource accessibility. By empowering MSMEs with the necessary tools and support, the government aims to expand their reach and amplify their impact on Indias economic growth.
Exports from MSMEs have seen substantial growth, rising from 3.95 lakh crore in 2020-21 to 12.39 lakh crore in 2024-25. The number of exporting MSMEs has also surged, increasing from 52,849 in 2020-21 to 1,73,350 in 2024-25. Their contribution to Indias total exports has steadily grown, reaching 43.59% in 2022-23, 45.73% in 2023-24, and 45.79% in 2024-25 (up to May 2024). These trends undecore the sectors increasing integration into global trade and its potential to drive Indias position as a manufacturing and export hub.
Key Budget takeaways for the Indian MSME Sector6 Revised classification criteria: To empower MSMEs with greater growth opportunities, the investment and turnover thresholds for classification have been significantly raised, by 2.5 times and 2 times, respectively. This strategic move aims to enhance operational efficiency, drive technological adoption, and create more employment opportunities, fostering a stronger and more competitive business ecosystem.
Enhanced credit availability: The credit guarantee cover for micro and small enterprises has been increased from 5 crore to 10 crore, enabling additional credit of 1.5 lakh crore over five yea. Startups will see their guarantee cover double from 10 crore to 20 crore, with a reduced fee of 1% for loans in 27 priority secto. Exporter MSMEs will benefit from term loans up to 20 crore with enhanced guarantee cover.
Credit cards facility for micro enterprises: A new customised Credit Card scheme will provide 5 lakh in credit to micro enterprises registered on the Udyam portal, with 10 lakh cards set to be issued in the fit year.
Support for startups and fit-time entrepreneu: A
dedicated 10,000 crore Fund of Funds is likely to be launched to strengthen support for startups, fostering innovation and entrepreneuhip across the country. Additionally, a new initiative will empower 5 lakh fit-time women, Scheduled Caste, and Scheduled Tribe entrepreneu by offering term loans of up to 2 crore over a five-year period. This initiative aims to create greater financial inclusion, encourage self-reliance, and unlock new opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneu.
Focus on labour-intensive secto: A Focus Product Scheme for the footwear and leather sector aims to boost innovation, manufacturing, and non-leather production, creating 22 lakh jobs and driving a 4 lakh crore turnover.

Key secto like electronics, pharmaceuticals, engineering goods, iron ore, and textiles played a vital role in this surge. Strengthened by strategic policy measures, enhanced competitiveness, and broader market access, Indias export ecosystem is now more resilient and deeply integrated into the global economy.
The momentum has continued into FY 2024-25, with cumulative exports during April-December 2024 estimated at USD 602.64 billion, a 6.03% increase from USD 568.36 billion in the same period of 2023. Strengthened by strategic policy measures, enhanced competitiveness, and broader market access, Indias export ecosystem is now more resilient and deeply integrated into the global economy.
Indias share in world merchandise exports also improved from 1.66% to 1.81%, with the country advancing in rankings from 20th to 17th position. The feat was achieved as the government implemented several initiatives to sustain and accelerate export growth.
Outlook
India is poised to sustain a robust 6.5% GDP growth in FY 2026, driven by favourable monsoons and stable commodity prices. This momentum is supported by a resilient manufacturing sector, moderated inflation, tax incentives, and strong urban consumption. Additionally, continued infrastructure expansion and economic reforms are reinforcing Indias ability to navigate global uncertainties.
Looking ahead, India is expected to maintain its potential real GDP growth of 6.5% Y-o-Y from FY26 to FY28, positioning itself as the worlds third-largest consumer market by 2026 and the third-largest economy by 2027, trailing only the United States and China.

Indias paint industry, long regarded as a symbol of resilience, faced a mixed growth trajectory in FY25. While rural markets showed promising demand, metro cities experienced a noticeable slowdown, tempering overall momentum. The sector also contended with mounting challenges -intensifying competition, shrinking margins due to rising raw material
costs, and the prolonged monsoon season. Advee weather conditions and flooding in key regions further compounded difficulties, making FY25 a particularly challenging year for paint companies.
The recent entry of new playe like Grasim and JSW has intensified competition, shaking up the market dynamics. In response, established industry playe continued to focus on ramping up their capital investments, expanding dealer networks, and increasing advertising efforts to safeguard their market share. However, this aggressive push comes at a cost - rising expenses are putting pressure on operating profitability, leading to tighter margins.
However, the outlook for the rest of 2025 appea promising, fueled by rising demand across infrastructure, real estate, and automotive secto. The industry is on track to reach 1.3 trillion by the years end, growing at a steady CAGR of 12-15%. Meanwhile, the shift towards sustainability is accelerating, with water-based paints and eco-friendly alternatives gaining momentum as environmental consciousness continues to shape consumer preferences.
Growth drive for the Indian paint industry
I. Rising disposable incomes: Rising disposable income in urban areas is driving growth in the decorative paints segment, as homeowne invest more in renovations and repainting. Between 2014-15 and 2022-23, Indias per capita net national income rose by 35.1%. As of 2025, it stands at USD 2,940 and is projected to reach USD 4,000 by 2030. Higher NNI per capita is often associated with improved quality of life and increased consumption, positively influencing the paints industry.
II. Urbanization: With an increasing number of people moving to urban areas is expected to generate a higher demand for housing and infrastructure, which in turn boosts demand for paints.
III. Rising per capita paint consumption: Indias per capita paint consumption grew from 2.6 kg in FY12 to 4.1 kg in FY19 at a CAGR of 6.8% and is projected to reach 4.5 kg by 2025. Despite this rise, it remains far below the global average of 14-15 kg, indicating significant growth potential for the Indian paint industry.
