Strategic Sourcing from India: Why 2025 Is the Right Time for Mid-Sized Global Firms
India is emerging as a high-value sourcing destination for global manufacturers—particularly for small and mid-sized companies seeking cost-efficient, high-quality alternatives in their global supply chains. With manufacturing exports projected to cross USD 500 billion in FY25, India’s strong base in automotive, engineered components, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and electricals makes it a strategic sourcing partner.
Germany continues to be one of India’s most important economic partners. With over 1,700 German companies operating in India and FDI inflows of over USD 14 billion, the Indo-German industrial collaboration is mature and thriving. Likewise, 213+ Indian companies now operate in Germany, actively contributing to European manufacturing ecosystems. These established linkages create a strong platform for bilateral sourcing and supplier development.
India’s sourcing proposition in 2025 is backed by:
-
A large base of qualified and export-ready SMEs
-
Competitive cost structures without compromising on quality
-
Digitally connected factories and skilled labor
-
Strong IP protection and compliance frameworks for global buyers
