Global Economic Overview
Global economic activity continues to show resilience despite evolving geopolitical tensions, including developments in the Middle East. While risks such as trade uncertainty, geopolitical fragmentation, and elevated public debt remain, they are balanced by positive structural drivers. Advancements in artificial intelligence and technology-led productivity gains present meaningful upside potential, while any easing of trade tensions could further support growth. Strong policy frameworks, institutional stability, and international cooperation will play a critical role in sustaining momentum.
In 2025, the global economy maintained steady momentum, with GDP growth estimated at 3.4%, supported primarily by strong performance in emerging market and developing economies (4.4%), while advanced economies recorded more moderate growth of 1.7%. Inflationary pressures eased, with global inflation moderating to 4.1%, driven by softer energy prices and improving supply chain conditions, though levels remained above target in several regions.
Global trade activity remained resilient, expanding by 4.1%, underpinned by sustained demand for technology-driven goods and essential commodities despite ongoing policy adjustments. Commodity markets exhibited mixed dynamics: oil prices declined by 14.2%, providing cost relief, while non-fuel commodities rose by 9.4% amid supply constraints. Financial conditions stayed broadly supportive, although market performance diverged, with technology-led sectors continuing to outperform broader indices.
Within this backdrop, demand conditions in key consumption markets such as North America and Europe showed gradual improvement, supported by inventory normalisation and a measured recovery in retail consumption. The global textile and apparel sector mirrored these trends, with a steady recovery in demand and a continued structural shift toward man-made fibres, particularly polyester, driven by cost competitiveness and versatility across applications.
From an industry standpoint, trends in crude oil and downstream petrochemical derivatives, including Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG), remained critical determinants of polyester manufacturers cost structures. While input prices exhibited moderate volatility during the year, relatively stable downstream demand supported partial passthrough of cost fluctuations.
Additionally, evolving global supply chains, characterised by diversification beyond traditional manufacturing hubs, present emerging opportunities for Indian exporters. At the same time, increasing emphasis on sustainability, including the adoption of recycled polyester and stricter environmental regulations,
continues to shape long-term industry dynamics. Currency movements, energy price trends, and geopolitical developments remain key variables influencing export competitiveness and overall industry performance.
The global economic growth is expected to remain steady at 3.1% in 2026 and 3.2% in 2027. Advanced economies are likely to see modest expansion of 1.8% and 1.7%, respectively, while emerging market and developing economies will continue to anchor global growth at 4.2% and 4.1%, respectively.
Inflation is projected to ease gradually, remaining at 4.4% in
2026 before moderating to 3.7% in 2027, supported by softer energy prices and improving demand-supply balance. Global trade is expected to normalise following earlier front-loading, with growth slowing to 2.6% in 2026 and recovering to 3.1% in
2027 as policy adjustments stabilise.
Commodity markets are likely to remain dynamic, with oil prices expected to decline by 8.5% in 2026 before stabilising, while non-fuel commodities may grow by 7.5% in 2026 and ease to 0.9% in 2027. Regionally, Emerging and Developing Asia is projected to sustain strong growth at 4.9% and 4.8%, while SubSaharan Africa is expected to remain resilient at 4.3% and 4.4%.
Although downside risks persist due to geopolitical uncertainties, trade disruptions, and elevated debt levels, the outlook is supported by potential gains from technological advancements and productivity improvements, offering a balanced and cautiously optimistic trajectory for the global economy.

India Economic Overview
Indias economy demonstrated strong resilience in FY 202526, with GDP growth estimated at 7.4%, supported by robust domestic demand, particularly from rural consumption and steady urban spending.
Growth momentum was further aided by policy measures such as GST rationalisation and front-loaded exports ahead of anticipated tariff increases. The services sector remained the primary growth engine, while manufacturing activity gained traction, reflecting improving industrial capacity and investment sentiment.
However, the latter half of the year witnessed some moderation, primarily due to a decline in exports to the United States following the imposition of higher tariffs. Despite this, India continued to attract significant global investments, securing nearly USD 50 billion in greenfield investments during the first three quarters. External inflows remained supportive, with India retaining its position as the worlds largest recipient of remittances, totalling approximately USD 137 billion.
Retail inflation remained well under control during FY 202526, with average Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation at 1.7% during April-December 2025, reflecting a sharp disinflationary trend. For the full year, inflation is estimated at 2.0%-4.2%, supported by a strong kharif harvest and moderation in food prices. Core inflation, however, remained relatively stable, inching up to around 4.6% by December 2025, largely due to elevated precious metal prices.
The monetary policy environment remained supportive, with the Reserve Bank of India adopting an accommodative stance to sustain growth momentum. The central bank reduced the repo rate by 100 basis points between April and December 2025, totalling 100 basis points in this cycle bringing it down to 5.25%. In parallel, liquidity conditions were strengthened through a 100-basis-point reduction in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) to 3.0%, ensuring adequate credit flow to the economy and supporting investment and consumption.
Outlook
Indias growth trajectory is expected to moderate slightly, with GDP projected at 6.4% in FY27, impacted by geopolitical uncertainties, particularly in West Asia, and associated energy supply disruptions. Growth is expected to recover modestly to 6.6% in FY28, driven by resilient domestic demand and continued strength in the services sector.
Inflation is projected to rise from 2.3% in FY26 to 4.4% in FY27, before easing marginally to 4.3% in FY28, remaining within the central banks tolerance band. Elevated crude oil prices, amid geopolitical tensions going to US$ 120 per barrel, along with supply chain disruptions, were expected to exert upward pressure on input costs and inflation but as after signing of Memorandum of Understanding between US and Iran, crude prices have crashed immediately to US$ 69-73 per barrel. With sanctions lifted from Iran & Venezuela, oil prices is expected to fall further which is better for our Industry and the overall economy.
Despite these headwinds, Indias structural strengths, strong domestic consumption, policy support, and a resilient services sector are expected to sustain its position as one of the fastest- growing major economies globally.
