SWOT ANALYSIS
• Strengths : As a vast emerging economy and a country
with more than 1bn people, India is too large to ignore,
even if the present barriers to entry are high.
• The economy is growing quite strongly and will
experience less of a slowdown than a number of other
emerging markets.
• Weaknesses : The market is dominated by state-owned
insurers and the progress to open up the market is
glacial. In the current political climate there is even less
support for change.
• Opportunities : The long-term potential of an
emerging economy with more than 1bn people
is unmistakable
• While GDP per capita remains low, there is an
emerging wealthier group, loosely referred to as
'middle class', and an elite group of extremely
wealthy Indians.
• Threats : The political environment is not
conducive to constructive change or sound
economic management.
