Economic scenario of United Kingdom
The economy of the United Kingdom is a highly developed social market economy. It is the sixth-largest national economy in the world measured by nominal gross domestic product (GDP), ninth-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP), and twenty-first by nominal GDP per capita, constituting 3.1% of nominal world GDP. The United Kingdom constitutes 2.3% of world GDP by purchasing power parity (PPP). In 2023, the UK faced economic challenges, marked by high inflation and poor performance Further challenges for UK businesses include trade barriers with the EU and ongoing worker shortages
Bilateral Trade between India and UK
India-UK historical ties, over the years have transformed into a robust, multi-faceted, mutually beneficial relationship. It has consistently been among India's top 10 global export partners and among top 20 global import partners. While, India ranks as 16th import destination for United Kingdom during 2022. Between 2018-19 and 2022-23, India’s exports to UK increased from USD 9.3 billion to USD 11.4 billion and India’s imports from UK increased from US$ 7.5 billion in 2018-19 to US$ 9 billion in 2022-23. During this period, India became a net exporter to UK and the trade balance remained positive consistently.
The product profile of UK’s SUBCON dedicated to subcontract manufacturing supply chains, under the engineering industry. In 2022-23, India’s global exports of engineering goods stood at USD 107.04 billion as against US$ 112.16 billion witnessed in 2021-22 registering a negative growth 4.57% over the same period last year. UK being the 7th largest export destination for India’s engineering sector. India holds the place among UK’s top 20 suppliers for engineering sector with a share increasing from 0.9% in 2018 to 1.4% in 2022 out of UK’s overall engineering import.
Opportunity for Engineering sector in UK
Against the backdrop of weakening global demand, there is ample scope for India’s engineering industry to explore these markets and enhance opportunities for trade and investment. Engineering products like Electrical Machinery and Equipment, Industrial Machinery and parts, Iron and steel and its products, Auto components and parts, Medical and Surgical instruments, etc. are the major product groups in the global import basket of UK.
Therefore, Indian engineering producers and traders have ample scope to explore the UK market as India exports products of all these segments in a good quantity. Moreover, India and the UK launched the talks for a free-trade agreement (FTA) during last fiscal 2022-23 and negotiations are ongoing at full speed with the aim to conclude early in this fiscal. Meanwhile, negotiations for FTA are also likely to continue and the member countries are keen on concluding it in the current year. In this background, it is an apt time for India to response to the demand of the engineering industry and enhance its share in the UK market through participation in the SUBCON 2024.
