INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, OUTLOOK AND DEVELOPMENTS:
WORLD ECONOMY OUTLOOK
The baseline forecast is for growth to fall from 3.4 percent in 2022 to
2.8 percent in 2023, before settling at 3.0 percent in 2024. Advanced economies are
expected to see an especially pronounced growth slowdown, from 2.7 percent in 2022 to 1.3
percent in 2023. In a plausible alternative scenario with further financial sector stress,
global growth declines to about 2.5 percent in 2023 with advanced economy growth falling
below 1 percent. Global headline inflation in the baseline is set to fall from 8.7 percent
in 2022 to 7.0 percent in 2023 on the back of lower commodity prices but underlying (core)
inflation is likely to decline more slowly. Inflations return to target is unlikely
before 2025 in most cases.
Emerging market and developing economies are already powering ahead in
many cases, with growth rates jumping from 2.8 percent in 2022 to 4.5 percent this year.
The outlook is uncertain again amid financial sector turmoil, high
inflation, ongoing effects of Russias invasion of Ukraine, and three years of COVID.

INDIAN ECONOMY INDIAN ECONOMY OVERVIEW
Strong economic growth in the first quarter of FY 2022-23 helped India
overcome the UK to become the fifth-largest economy after it recovered from repeated waves
of COVID-19 pandemic shock. Real GDP in the first quarter of 2022-23 is currently about 4%
higher than its corresponding 2019-20, indicating a strong start for Indias recovery from
the pandemic. Given the release of pent-up demand and the widespread vaccination coverage,
the contactintensive services sector will probably be the main driver of development in
2022-2023. Rising employment and substantially increasing private consumption, supported
by rising consumer sentiment, will support GDP growth in the coming months.
Future capital spending of the government in the economy is expected to
be supported by factors such as tax buoyancy, the streamlined tax system with low rates, a
thorough assessment and rationalization of the tariff structure, and the digitization of
tax filing.
India has emerged as the fastest-growing major economy in the world and
is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15
years, backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships.
As per IMF, World Economic outlook, April, 2023, lates world economic
outlook Growth Projections is as follows which shows strong position of India:
AUTO COMPONENTS & AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY IN INDIA IN THE YEAR 2022-23
AUTO COMPONENTS INDUSTRY:
India has become the fastest-growing economy in the world in recent
years. This fast growth, coupled with rising incomes, a boost in infrastructure spending
and increased manufacturing incentives, has accelerated the automobile industry. The
two-wheeler segment dominated the automobile industry because of the Indian middle class,
with automobile sales standing at 19.45 million units in FY23.
Significant demand for automobiles also led to the emergence of more
original equipment and auto components manufacturers. As a result, India developed
expertise in automobiles and auto components, which helped boost international demand for
Indian automobiles and auto components. Hence, the Indian automobile industry has a
considerable impact on the auto component 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 2.3% 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 Automotive Mission Plan (2016-26) projects to provide direct
incremental employment to 3.2 million by 2026.
Due to the high development prospects in all vehicle industry segments,
the auto component sector is expected to see double-digit growth in FY22. The industry is
expected to stand at US$ 200 billion by FY26.
MARKET SIZE OF AUTO COMPONENTS
Indias auto components industrys market share has
significantly expanded, led by increasing demand for automobiles by the growing middle
class and exports globally. Due to the remarkable growth in demand for Indian auto
components, several Indian and international players have entered the industry.
Indias auto component industry is broadly classified into organized and unorganized
sectors. While the unorganized sector consists of low-valued items and mostly serves the
aftermarket category, the organized sector serves OEMs and includes high-value precision
instruments.
The turnover of the automotive component industry grew 34.8% to Rs.
2.65 lakh crore (US$ 33.8 billion) during April-September 2022 compared to the first half
of the previous year. Moreover, the auto component exports increased by 8.6% in H123 to
US$ 10.1 billion (Rs. 79,033 crore) from US$ 9.3 billion (Rs. 68,746 crore) in H1 2021-22.
As per the Automobile Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA)
forecast, auto component exports from India is expected to reach US$ 30 billion by 2026.
The auto component industry is projected to record US$ 200 billion in revenue by 2026.
Strong international demand and resurgence in the local original equipment and aftermarket
segments are predicted to help the auto component industry grow 20-23% in FY22.
GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES IN AUTO COMPONENTS INDUSTRY
The Government has reaffirmed its commitment towards EVs and its
mission for 30% electric mobility by 2030. Budget announced customs duty exemption on the
import of capital goods and machinery required for the manufacture of lithium-ion
batteries that typically power EVs. The Government of Indias Automotive Mission Plan
(AMP) 2006-26 has been instrumental in ensuring growth for the sector. The Indian
automobile industry is expected to achieve a turnover of US$ 300 billion by 2026 by
expanding at a CAGR of 15% from its current revenue of US$ 74 billion.
The governments AMP 2016-26 will help the automotive industry
grow and will benefit the economy in the following ways:
• The auto industrys GDP contribution will rise to over 12%.
• Additional ~65 million direct and indirect jobs will be created.
• End-of-life policy will be implemented for old vehicles.
ROAD AHEAD
The rapidly globalising world is creating newer opportunities for the
transportation industry, especially while shifting towards electric, electronic and hybrid
cars, which are deemed more efficient, safe and reliable modes of transportation. Over the
next decade, this will lead to newer verticals and opportunities for auto component
manufacturers. To help them adjust to the shifting dynamics of the sector, the Indian
government has already offered various production incentives. India is also investing
heavily in electric car infrastructure.
The Indian government is exempting imports of capital goods and
machinery essential to produce lithium-ion cells used in EV batteries from customs duty.
This, coupled with the shift
in global supply chains, will help the Indian global automotive
component trade to expand 45% to US$ 80 billion by 2026. Moreover, the Indian auto
component industry is predicted to become the third largest in the world.
