Economic scenario of USA

The United States continues to remain the world's largest economy in nominal GDP terms and one of the most important global manufacturing, technology and consumption markets. Despite global geopolitical uncertainties, inflationary pressures and supply chain realignments, the U.S. economy has demonstrated remarkable resilience.

According to IMF estimates, the U.S. economy recorded a GDP growth of around 2.0% in 2025 and is projected to grow by approximately 2.3%–2.4% in 2026, supported by strong domestic demand, investments in advanced manufacturing, technology, artificial intelligence, infrastructure and energy sectors. The country continues to maintain a high level of industrial activity and remains one of the largest importers of engineering products globally. The ongoing emphasis on supply chain diversification and sourcing from trusted partners is expected to create additional opportunities for Indian exporters.

Bilateral Trade between India and USA

The United States continues to be India's largest trading partner. Bilateral merchandise trade between the two countries crossed approximately US$ 131.8 billion during FY 2024-25, reflecting the growing depth of economic engagement and strategic partnership between the two nations.

Engineering products continue to constitute one of the most significant components of India's exports to the U.S., accounting for nearly one-fourth of India's merchandise exports to the American market. The USA remains the single largest destination for India's engineering exports, supported by sustained demand from sectors such as automotive, industrial machinery, electrical equipment, construction hardware, metal products and advanced manufacturing.Recent trends indicate continued momentum in India's engineering exports. During April 2026, India's engineering exports registered a growth of around 8.8% year-on-year, driven by strong performance in sectors such as electrical machinery, aluminium products, auto components and industrial equipment. Exports to major developed markets, including the USA, remained positive despite global trade uncertainties.

The United States remains India's largest trading partner, with bilateral merchandise trade reaching about US$ 131.8 billion in FY 2024-25. Engineering exports continue to be a major pillar of this relationship, supported by growing demand in manufacturing, infrastructure, automotive and industrial sectors.
