3 India – Land of Opportunity for Business

India’s gross domestic products (GDP) is expected to expand by 8.6% in 2010 – 11 and is likely to sustain an annual average of 8.4 % over 2010 – 11 to 2015 – 16, according to leading credit rating agency, CRISIL Research.

The Indian economy will register the second fastest growth between now and 2050 and emerge as the second biggest economy in the world by the middle of this century, according to a forecast released on January 7, 2011 by the consultancy group, Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC).

On a cumulative basis, the FDI equity inflows received by India stood at US$ 12.40 billion during April – October 2010, according to the data released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).

The services sector with an around 57 per cent contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP), has made rapid strides in the last few years and emerged as the largest and fastest-growing sector of the economy. Besides being the dominant sector in India’s GDP, it has also contributed substantially to foreign investment flows, exports, and employment.

India’s growth story with a services-led growth has been unique for a developing country.

The immediate challenge in this sector is revival of growth. Some services like software and telecom were big ticket items that gave India a brand image in services. The time has come to focus on some other high potential big ticket items that have high manufacturing-sector and employment linkages.

The total consumption in India is likely to quadruple making India the fifth largest consumer market by 2025, according to McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) study titled ‘Bird of Gold: the Rise of India’s Consumer Market”.

India’s services sector that remained resilient even during and immediately after the global financial crisis buckled under the pressure of continued global and domestic slowdown, resulting in sub-normal growth in the last two years. However, early shoots of revival are visible in 2014-15 with signs of improvement in world GDP growth and trade also reflected in pick-up in some key services like IT, aviation, transport logistics, and retail trading. Different indices and estimates also indicate an expansion in India’s services business.

Progressive opening of the economy to FDI.

India is currently the 2nd fastest growing economy in the world.



4 India has a robust 250 million middle class with growing appetite for goods and

services.

Requirement of infrastructure investment amounting to US$ 420 million.

Large pool of young skilled labor (75% of the population is under 35 years of age) helps cost effective production facilities, large domestic market.

Cost effective R&D base and qualified scientists.

Indian R&D teams today involved in 75% of all Silicon Valley Software, chip and e-commerce startup.

Investment friendly policies and progressive reform process

Services Sector The service sector is a fundamental component of the economic structure of all nations. Services themselves are a catalyst for economic growth but also function as inputs into the agriculture and manufacturing sectors as well as cross linkages with benefits attached to other services. Services have continuously gained importance over the last three decades for policymakers, regulators and consumers.

International Services Sector

Internationally, services are increasingly being traded, reaching US$ 4.6 trillion of global exports in 2013 and recording a 5.6 percent annual growth at current prices. The commercial services accounted for 20 percent of total world trade in goods and commercial services in 2013, up 1 percent from the 2012 share. World services GDP grew from 2.7 per cent to 3.8 per cent in 2012 with a 65.9 per cent share in the US$ 72.7 trillion world GDP (at current prices). Services share in employment is only 44.0 per cent in 2012. World services export growth grew robustly from 2011 to 2013 with a CAGR of 9.9 per cent. As per the UNCTAD Investment Report 2014, the global foreign direct investment (FDI) flows in 2013 at US$ 1.45 trillion grew by 9 percent.

1Figure 1

According to preliminary estimates by UNCTAD and WTO, in the third quarter of 2014, world exports of services grew by 4.7% compared with the same quarter of the previous year (balance-of-payments basis, current prices).

Services Sector in India

As the world economy is showing signs of recovery, it is becoming imperative for all countries to tap domestic and also international demand to become a market for economic development. The services sector plays an increasingly important role in the world economy and is extremely crucial in a country’s growth and development. In 2013, India ranked 6th in the global exports of total services. In India, growth of services sector GDP (8.5 percent CAGR) has been higher than that of India’s overall GDP (7.1 percent CAGR) during 2000-01 to 2013-14. Also, this sector constitutes 57 percent of India’s GDP and contributes around 28 percent in overall employment.

7 The services sector with an around 57 per cent contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP), has made rapid strides in the last few years and emerged as the largest and fastest-growing sector of the economy. Besides being the dominant sector in India’s GDP, it has also contributed substantially to foreign investment flows, exports, and employment. India’s services sector covers a wide variety of activities that have different features and dimensions. Some services like IT and telecommunications are very sophisticated, involving high technology and expertise. Some services like transport have high linkages with the industrial sector and some like tourism have high employment linkages. Some services like railways and port fall under the definition of infrastructure, while some like construction fall under the definition of industry. Thus there are many borderline inclusions and exclusions. Services in India has emerged as a prominent sector in terms of contribution to national and states’ incomes, trade flows, FDI inflows, and employment. The services sector has matured and plays a distinctive role in the growth if the India economy.

CAGR: India has the second fastest growing services sector with its CAGR (compound annual growth rate) at 9.0 per cent, just below China’s 10.9 per cent, during the last 11-year period from 2001 to 2012

GDP: Among the world's top 15 countries in terms of GDP, India ranked 10th in terms of overall GDP and 12th in terms of services GDP in 2012

Growth: The growth rate of India’s services sector of 7.2 percent in the year 2012 was marginally lower than that in the previous year of 2011.

Employment: The share of the services sector in employment has gone up from 19.7 percent in 1993-94 to 26.8 percent in 2012-13

Indian Exports in Services: India’s share in world services exports, which increased from 0.6 per cent in 1990 to 1.1 per cent in 2000 and further to 3.3 percent in 2013, has been increasing faster than its share in world merchandise exports.
