Industry Structure and Developments:

Global Economy:

The global economy continues to gradually recover from the pandemic.

The COVID-19 health crisis is officially over, and supply-chain disruptions have returned to pre-pandemic levels. Economic activity in the first quarter of the year proved resilient, despite the challenging environment, amid surprisingly strong labor markets. Energy and food prices have come down sharply from their war-induced peaks, allowing global inflation pressures to ease faster than expected. And financial instability following the March banking turmoil remains contained thanks to forceful action by the US and Swiss authorities.

Under our baseline forecast growth will slow from last years 3.5 percent to 3 percent this year and next, a 0.2 percentage points upgrade for 2023 from our April projections. Global inflation is projected to decline from 8.7 percent last year to 6.8 percent this year, a 0.2 percentage point downward revision, and 5.2 percent in 2024.

The slowdown is concentrated in advanced economies, where growth will fall from 2.7 percent in 2022 to 1.5 percent this year and remain subdued at 1.4 percent next year. The euro area, still reeling from last years sharp spike in gas prices caused by the war, is set to decelerate sharply.

By contrast, growth in emerging markets and developing economies is still expected to pickup with year-on-year growth accelerating from 3.1 percent in 2022 to 4.1 percent this year and next. (The corresponding annual growth, shown on the chart below, is 4 percent for 2022 and 2013 and 4.1% for 2024.)

Indian Economy:

India may well be on track to becoming the third largest economy in the world in the coming years, but a number of factors including the performance of other countries, skilling of our workforce as well as a sustained revival in domestic consumption demand would play a key role in achieving this. The Indian economy, however, has the potential to grow by a robust 6.5-7% per annum, according to economists.

India is very much on target to becoming the third largest economy based on the IMFs projections as well as domestic estimates. Our real rate of investment is about 33%, the current account deficit is lowering and our demographic dividend is coming into play," said DK Srivastava, Chief Policy Adviser, EY, while noting that India has also managed to meet the challenges thrown up by the Russian-Ukraine war that has led to supply side bottlenecks for many countries.

Technology Industry:

Economic headwinds seem to be gathering for business in general, and for the technology industry specifically. But there are many regulatory incentives that may spur innovation and growth in 2023 and beyond. To survive and thrive, technology companies should rededicate their efforts to improving supply operations, modernizing infrastructure, and leveraging growth opportunities.

Tire technology industry has not just weathered the pandemic-driven disruptions of the past few years; it has flourished. The crisis thrust many organizations into the future, accelerating digital transformation and changing work models dramatically. But in 2023, the tech industry will likely continue to grapple with issues around supply chains, workforce, and innovation— now exacerbated by considerable macroeconomic and global uncertainties:

Risks, Concerns and Threats:

With the financial reforms likely to add impetus to industry growth and likelihood of stable political environment, the domestic market should pose better opportunities in terms of volume growth.

Achieving sustainable growth can also present challenges. The skills, expertise, the supply chain to develop products, are major threats for sustaining in the long term.

As companies seek business solutions to address remote work, social distancing and the need for in-store alternatives, the demand for developer and engineering talent is likely to increase. Retaining top talent will be essential.

Expect relatively high impact on the smartphone industry because of its labor-intensive supply chain. Smartphone production is projected to decline by 12% YoY in 1Q20; server revenue is projected to decline by 16% YoY in 1Q20.

Internal Control Systems and Their Adequacy
