Scope of Indian Automotive Industry

India?s automotive industry is one of the most significant and fast growing sectors of the economy, averaging 20 percent annual growth. The growth is driven by a young population and an expanding middle class with a currently low, but rapidly growing rate of motor vehicle ownership. The automobile and components industry is a priority sector for the Government of India. The government of India projects the market will reach USD 145 billion by the year 2016. Indian agents and distributors actively seek opportunities to market U.S. technologies in the domestic market.

Growth Frontiers of Indian Automotive Market2

India's automotive market is basking in a 13 percent compound annual growth rate, going from five million vehicles produced in 2002 to 18 million in 2011. India, already the second-largest global market for two-wheelers (2W) and the fourth largest for commercial vehicles (CV), is now poised to rank among the top three global automotive markets in all vehicles, including passenger cars, by 2020. This means there will be an increase in job opportunities for Equipment Designers.
