The continuing trade battle between the world's two largest economies was supposed to greatly benefit India. However, it appears that the nation wasn't ready to take China's place in the US market. A recent media report claims that China's proportion in US imports decreased by 8% between 2017 and 2023. It indicates that although India's share increased from 0.6% to 2.7%, there was a significant gap in the US that it might have filled.
 
Other nations, such as South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam, outperformed india and seized a larger portion in the interim. prime minister Narendra Modi's objective of expanding India's manufacturing sector, which has been stagnant at about 17% of GDP for more than ten years, has been severely hampered by this.
 
The competition will only intensify if donald trump fulfills his pledge to put a 60% tax on Chinese imports upon his return to the White House. The report cautions that since india is already trailing other nations in the competitive economy, it may face difficulties. It's not all sunshine and roses, despite India's strong exports of electronics to the US. With its semiconductor components, china continues to have a large market share, indicating that india isn't contributing much value.
 
Modi's goal of making india a manufacturing powerhouse is still a long way off. Other nations appear to be better equipped than india, and the competition is only going to become worse.
