Global economic growth is estimated at 3.0% in CY2026E, expected to recover to 3.4% in CY2027F. Global nominal GDP is projected to reach approximately USD 151.4 trillion by CY2030F from USD 118.2 trillion in CY2025. India remains the fastest-growing major economy, supported by strong domestic demand, government capital expenditure, and manufacturing expansion. India's nominal GDP increased from INR 193.9 trillion in FY2021 to INR 318.1 trillion in FY2025, and is estimated at INR 346.5 trillion in FY2026E. It is forecast to reach INR 579.0 trillion by FY2031F, representing a CAGR of 10.8% between FY2026E and FY2031F. Manufacturing share in Indian GDP is projected to rise from 13.9% in FY2025 to 15.8% by FY2031F. [1]
The power transmission and industrial drive market in India and globally is experiencing significant expansion driven by industrial automation, infrastructure development, renewable energy expansion, and manufacturing modernization. India's industrial gearboxes market (>15k Nm) is projected to reach ₹ 5,790.00 Crore by FY2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% from FY2025, while India's industrial gear motors market (<15k Nm) is projected to grow to ₹ 4,350.00 Crore by FY2031 at an 8.0% CAGR. Growth is supported by government initiatives like Make in India and PM Gati Shakti, along with increasing adoption of energy-efficient IE3/IE4 motors, integrated mechatronics, and localized OEM drivetrain platforms across process, off-highway, and wind sectors.
