New Delhi, Jan 29: India’s steady rise as a key player in global trade is evident in its increasing share of both global merchandise exports and commercial services exports, said the Economic Survey 2025-26 released on Thursday. According to the WTO’s World Trade Statistics, between 2005 and 2024, India’s share of global merchandise exports has nearly doubled, rising from 1 per cent to 1.8 per cent. Similarly, its share in global commercial services exports has more than doubled, rising from 2 per cent to 4.3 per cent. Electronics, pharmaceuticals, electrical machinery and automobiles emerged as key export growth drivers, reflecting rising competitiveness in higher-value manufacturing segments, said the Survey. Meanwhile, services exports touched an all-time high of $387.6 billion in FY25, growing by 13.6 per cent.
