Global Economy:

The global economy is at a critical juncture. Following an unprecedented series of shocks in the preceding years, global growth was stable yet underwhelming through CY24. However, the landscape has changed as governments around the world reorder policy priorities. The United States announced a series of new tariff measures and countermeasures by its trading partners if implemented couldbring effective tariff rates to levels not seen in a century. The swift escalation of trade tensions and extremely high levels of policy uncertainty are expected to have a significant impact on global economic activity. Global growth is projected to fall from 3.3% in CY24 to 2.8% in CY25, before recovering to 3.0% in CY26. Nominal wage growth is showing signs of moderation, alongside indications of continuing normalization in labor markets. Although core goods price inflation has fallen back to or below trend, services price inflation is still running above pre–COVID-19 averages in many economies, most notably the United States and the euro area. Where inflation is proving stickier, central banks are moving more cautiously in the easing cycle while keeping a close eye on activity and labor market indicators as well as exchange rate movements. Global headline inflation is expected to decline to 4.3% in CY25 and to 3.6% in CY26. World trade growth is projected to take a hit to 1.7% for CY25 before rebounding to 2.5% in CY26. Oil prices are expected to be impacted by escalating trade tensions, compounded by weak fundamentals, with supply growth expected to likely outpace tepid global demand growth through CY25 and CY26 as OPEC+ start unwinding production cuts creating a global supply glut. Brent crude is expected to avg. at $67/barrel in CY25 from $79/barrel in CY24. Nonfuel commodity prices are expected to increase by 4.4% in CY25, on account of upward revisions to food and beverage prices, driven by bad weather affecting large producers.

In FY25, the global economy experienced moderated growth, influenced by persistent inflationary pressures, tight monetary policies in developed markets and geopolitical uncertainties. These factors contributed to cautious consumer spending and disrupted global trade flows. Amid trade uncertainties, global growth is expected to slow to 2.3% in 2025 from 2.7%in 2024.

The US economy has been resilient, driven by strong growth in the services sector, a robust labour market, and high realwages. Europe, including the UK, has faced softer growth due to the war in Ukraine, high energy prices, and slowdowns in manufacturing and services. Chinas growth was weaker than expected, with a slowdown in the real estate sector and industrial activity. The Asia-Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing.

Global Auto Components Industry:

In FY 2024-25, India remained the third-largest passenger vehicle market globally, with over 4.3 million units sold. However, growthslowed to about 2% from 8.2% the previous year. While at the start of the year, a high base and affordability issues in non-premium hatchbacks were expected to affect growth, the external factorssuch as the heatwave and national elections, led to lower showroom footfalls in the first quarter, further affecting thedem and. As demand weakened, inventory levels rose across the industry, leading to an increase in promotional spending. Although sales revived during the festive season, the recovery was largelydriven by these incentives.

Indian Economy:

Indias GDP is expected to grow strongly at 6.5% for FY25 as per the second advance estimates released by the National Statistical Office (NSO). Manufacturing activity is showing signs of revival with business expectations remaining robust, while services sector activity continues to be resilient. Investment activity has gained traction andit is expected to improve further on the back of sustained higher capacity utilization, governments continued thrust on infrastructures pending, healthy balance sheets of banks and corporates, along with the easing of financial conditions.

"To summarize, headwinds from geo-political tensions, protectionist, trade policies, volatility in international commodity prices and financial market uncertainties, continue to pose downside risks to the outlook. Taking all these factors into consideration, real GDP growth for FY26 is projected at 6.5%."

Indian Auto Components Industry:

The Indian auto components industry continued its growth trajectory in FY 2024–25, achieving a turnover of 6.73 lakh crore, reflecting a 9.6% year-on-year increase. This expansion was primarily driven by robust domestic Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) demand and steady growth in exports. Supplies to OEMs stood at 5.70 lakh crore, while the aftermarket grew to 99,948 crore. Exports rose to US$22.9 billion, and imports totaled US$22.4 billion, resulting in a trade surplus of US$453 million.

The industry benefited from strong passenger vehicle (PV) sales, with wholesales reaching 4.3 million units in FY25, led by the rising share of utility vehicles (UVs), which now contribute 65% of PV sales. The three-wheeler segment also posted record volumes, reflecting a broad-based recovery in mobility demand.

The Indian automotive industry is undergoing transformation driven by a confluence of factors. Evolving industry standards, changing consumer preferences, and a growing emphasis on sustainability are pushing advancements in all areas of the industry.

Indias auto component industry is an important sector driving macroeconomic growth and employment. The industry comprises players of all sizes, from large corporations to micro entities, spread across clusters throughout the country. The auto components industry accounted for a significant part of Indias GDP and provided direct employment to 1.5 million people. By 2026, the automobile component sector will contribute 5-7% of Indias GDP. The total Automotive electronics demand in India is projected to grow from US$ 10.6 billion in 2022 to US$ 70.3 – US$ 74.4 billion by 2032.

During the Financial Year (2023-24), the industry clocked a turnover of Rs. 6.14 lakh crore (US $74.1 billion), representing a growth of 9.8% on a year-on-year basis. The industry also posted a trade surplus of $300 million during the year, as exports grew 5.5% to Rs $21.2 billion while imports rose by 3% to $20.9 billion.

Over the next decade, embedded and connected location services will remain a core component of in-vehicle infotainment systems for carmakers. The Indian automotive industrys digital transformation presents exciting opportunities; the demand for location-based services is set to surge. By capitalizing on Indias strong R&D capabilities and embracing innovation, navigation companies can play a vital role in shaping the future of mobility in the country. India occupies a strong position in the global heavy vehicles market as it is the largest tractor producer, second-largest bus manufacturer, and third-largest heavy trucks manufacturer in the world.

Government Initiatives for Automobile Industry:

The Government of India has introduced a series of strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening the automobile industry by enhancing manufacturing capabilities, promoting localization, advancing green mobility, and supporting the overall automotive ecosystem. During FY 2024–25, the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Automobiles and Auto Components, with an outlay of 25,938 crore (FY23–FY27), remained a cornerstone policy. It is designed to promote domestic manufacturing of Advanced Automotive Technology (AAT) products, including electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, electric vehicle components such as e-axles, motors, and battery systems, as well as innovative safety systems. This initiative has attracted significant investments in component manufacturing and contributed to improved localization levels.

The Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME II) scheme, with a budget of 10,000 crore, continued to support the adoption of electric mobility and the development of charging infrastructure. Extended until March 2025, it has facilitated the deployment of over one million electric vehicles, particularly in the two-wheeler, three-wheeler, and public transport segments. Complementing this, the Vehicle Scrappage Policy was reinforced through incentives encouraging voluntary scrappage of end-of-life vehicles, thereby stimulating new vehicle demand, promoting environmentally safe disposal practices, and boosting the recycling and steel industries. Further, the government continued to emphasize green mobility and the development of an electric vehicle ecosystem by promoting investments in EV charging infrastructure, battery-swapping stations, and hydrogen fuel cell pilot projects. Proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms under discussion are expected to rationalize rates on vehicles and components, which could enhance affordability for small cars and essential parts once approved by the GST Council. In parallel, the rollout of the Bharat New Car Assessment Program (BNCAP) advanced Indias focus on vehicle safety standards through crash testing and star ratings for passenger vehicles manufactured and sold domestically.

These policy measures have collectively improved the ease of doing business, attracted both foreign and domestic investment, driven technology adoption in electric and alternative fuel mobility, and strengthened Indias export competitiveness by aligning with global quality and safety standards. With a clear roadmap toward sustainable and resilient automotive growth, the governments continued focus on green mobility, localization, and advanced technologies is expected to create a strong foundation for medium-term expansion, particularly in the electric and premium segments.
