India's auto-component sector is set to attain US$ 200 billion by 2030, bolstered by its cost-effectiveness, talented workforce, and increasing local demand, based on a McKinsey report named Shaping the future of India’s auto component industry amid global trade shifts. The report emphasized that geopolitical and structural shifts are reshaping global trade routes, with projections of US$ 12 trillion to US$ 14 trillion in trade likely to change by 2035. In spite of these difficulties, it is expected that global trade will grow from US$ 33 trillion in 2024 to US$ 42-45 trillion by 2035. India is becoming a beneficiary of this realignment, highlighted by the auto-component industry’s compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of almost 10% over the last five years. Domestic sales are projected to increase by 7-8% each year until FY30, fueled by greater vehicle penetration, more parts utilized per vehicle, and the embrace of new technologies. Exports are expected to reach US$ 70-100 billion by FY30, driven by two main growth factors. This encompasses a US$ 20-30 billion chance in internal combustion engine (ICE) exports as worldwide markets merge, along with a 35% CAGR in local electric vehicle (EV) sales, aligning with global electrification and connectivity trends. To enhance resilience, businesses are progressively implementing supply-chain diversification tactics, such as localization, increasing production capabilities in low-risk areas, and multi-sourcing. Numerous international companies are enhancing Indian manufacturing sites, as automotive manufacturers globally are decreasing reliance on sole-source suppliers, especially from China, and shifting to alternative markets
