    Opportunity for Indian Engineering Industry

    India - one of the strongest pharma-economy across the world has emerged as single point resource for Pharma Machineries and Engineering Equipments in the world pharma markets.

    Looking to the role played by the Indian pharmaceutical industry in global markets, India is slowly turning in to a ‘Pharma Capital’ of the world. The regulatory standards are meeting the high level parameters ensuring very high quality pharma production meeting the international regulations.

    Kenya and the wider East African region offer a huge amount of potential for the Indian exporters. Kenya is the highest trading country in the East African region and is the gateway to the entire East & the Central African region having the business port- Mombasa.

    Kenya is a part of three major regional economic communities of the African continent-EAC (East African Community), COMESA (Common Market for East and Southern African countries) and SADC (Southern Africa Development Community).Kenya’s membership in these regional integration would provide an expanded market and a huge potential for the Indian companies in various sectors.Thus there lies a huge untapped market for India, which is yet to be explored in Kenya. Thus India should find out opportunities to negotiate more trade deals with Kenya to increase its market share viz-a-viz China.
