Summary and key points
Recent tralac research has shown that since 2001 Africa’s overall trade with the old friends (the
United States and the European Union in particular) has dramatically declined while, conversely, that
with the new friends (BRICs1) is increasing. The intra-African share has remained consistent. While
India’s involvement with Africa is less dramatic than China’s, its increasing profile mirrors China’s
rise although this is happening with a less public profile. This paper examines India’s global profile
and places the Indian rise in an international perspective.
Indian exports increased from $44 billion (0.7% of global trade) in 2001 to $337 billion in 2013 (1.9%
of global trade). This places it in China’s shadow, but it is nevertheless still impressive. Indian imports
increased from 0.8% of the global total in 2001 to 2.5% of the total by 2013. Africa started by taking
over 6.4% of Indian exports in 2001 but that rose to just over 10% in 2013. Africa and the United
Arab Emirates (UAE) have been star performers as Indian export destinations, while the older
economies of the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) are languishing. Mineral fuels
head both the recent exports and have shown impressive growth since the 2000 base year. Next are
precious metals (gold jewellery exports), followed by vehicles as India becomes a global vehicle
exporter of note. The two clothing chapters (HS61 and HS62) have lost at least half of their respective
shares in Indian global exports.
In a loosely defined manufacturing sector, Africa’s share of Indian exports increased from 8.7% in
2001 to 11.2 % in 2013, while Indian exports to China increased and those to the ‘old’ markets of the
EU and US declined in relative, but not absolute, importance. By destination markets, the Indian
percentage shares of manufacturing imports into the EU, the US and African markets show that into
the EU India’s share increased from an initial 1.4% through to 2.5% (China’s was 11.2% through to
28.0%), India’s share in the US increased from 0.7% in 2001 to 1.5% in 2013 (China’s was 10.7%
through to 25%), while for Africa India’s share roughly doubled from 2.1% to 4.7% (China’s
increased from an initial 4.5% to the 2013 percentage of 20.6%). China has a market share of between
21% and 28% in each of the three main markets. While India has generally about doubled its market
presence over the last few years it is still significantly below the Chinese shares.
India recently ranked fifth on the global agricultural exporter table (the EU is regarded as a single
source) with an export share that has risen from 1.6% of the global total to a consistent 3.4%. By
1
Brazil, Russia, India and China.

destination, Africa’s share has been the main destination in some years as the EU share declines and
the US share fluctuates. The new agricultural destinations are Iran and Vietnam.
For Indian imports, there was an abrupt shift in the African share of the Indian market in 2007 to a
new consistent level of around 8.5% from an earlier level of around 4.5% or lower. Overall, India’s
global growth in recent years is increasing its importance as a world importer.
We also examine India’s profile in the global services trade, and report that India’s service exports
during 2013 were some $151,386 million (45% of the reported merchandise exports). This means that
India’s global share of world service exports increased from 1.14% in 2000 through to 3.26% in 2013.
This is apparent for computer and related information sector exports where India represents 18.28 %
of global exports in this category. Indian service imports are less than exports, giving India a trade
surplus in services of around $25 billion.
The projections
In the first section we discuss India’s rise in international trade. The question remains whether this rise
will be sustained and indeed what the future may hold. The second section seeks to address these
questions and moves beyond simple linear extrapolations by employing a comparative static general
equilibrium model.
This model takes various known and/or best estimates of macroeconomic variables, shocks and other
developments into account to give a projection of the world economy up until 2025. Key assumptions
include strong growth from Asian economies and to a slightly lesser extent growth in Africa, and
moderate growth in the older economies of the US and Europe. We make use of the pre-release
Version 9 Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database with a base year of 2011. We consider that
the results for 2025 are the best estimates for likely trade patterns between India and Africa, the EU,
the US, China and the rest of the world calculated as the residual. The emphasis is on trade shares and
shifts in these shares and we use an aggregation of the GTAP sectors for agriculture, natural resources,
manufacturing and service sectors.
Our projections suggest that Indian exports will see declining domestic shares of agriculture and
natural resources, while in the crucial textiles, clothing and leather sector exports increase but at a
modest rate. In the traditional manufacturing sectors Indian exports increase significantly, as do
services. It is projected that the percentage of Indian export shares will decline to the US and China
while slightly increasing to Africa and the rest of the world.
2
For imports it is projected that India will increase its demand for particularly agricultural products and
to a lesser extent natural resources and manufacturing imports. Overall, the projection is that again
there will be a sharp decline in imports from the EU and a lesser decline from the US, but an increase
from both Africa and the rest of the world of over two percentage points.
1. Introduction
The Trade Law Centre has recently been examining African trade patterns with respect to Africa’s
‘new’ friends, namely the BRIC countries as a group, the ‘old’ friends, namely the traditional trading
partners, the EU and the US, and the ‘good’ friends, namely the African countries collectively.
Overall, we find that since 2001 Africa’s overall trade with the old friends (and the EU in particular)
has dramatically declined while, conversely, that with the new friends is increasing. The intra-African
(good friends) share has remained consistent.
While within the BRIC partners China is dominant in Africa, we can also see that India is becoming a
major trading partner. India’s involvement with Africa is longer standing and less dramatic than
China’s, but its increasing profile in a way mirrors China’s rise although this is happening with less of
a public profile. Is the Indian growth slipping underneath the radar and travelling in China’s shadow?
The objective of this paper is not so much as to detail the Indian rise in Africa or the background on
these changes, but rather to examine India’s global profile and place the Indian rise in an international
setting by looking at shares of destinations for Indian exports and import shares by global sources.
Where is this Indian growth taking place?
In addition, we make use of an international trade model to forecast the global trade profile and
India’s role in these forecasts to assess what the immediate future may hold for the bilateral IndianAfrican relationship and India’s position as a global trader. We will source our trade data from the
International Trade Centre (ITC) and use the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model prerelease Version 9 for our forecasting.
2. Indian exports – the big picture
Table 1 shows the big picture for Indian global trade with the Chinese data also supplied for a
perspective. The top part of the table shows exports, firstly in dollars $ (expressed in billions) and then
in global shares, while the second half shows the comparable import data. India made impressive
3
progress in exports: from $44 billion (0.7% of global trade) to $337 billion in 2013 (1.9% of global
trade). This is of course very much in China’s shadow, but still impressive. Imports increased from
0.8% of the global total to 2.5% of the total by 2013, with this increase leaving India with a significant
global merchandise trade deficit and definitely living in the shadow of the mountain as far as China is
concerned.

2.1 Indian trade specifically
The main destinations for Indian exports are shown in Table 2, with the dollar (billions) values in the
upper part of the table and the percentage shares in the lower half. We start with the 2001 year and
basically give alternative years through to 2013 along with 2012 to complete the recent picture.
Aggregate Africa is shown in the second row of this and most subsequent tables, and the lower part
shows that as a destination Africa started at 6.4% of Indian exports but rose to just over 10% in 2013.
This means that Africa has been increasing significantly above the average for India (and an increase
very similar to that of the fourth place UAE from 2001 to 2013 in both dollar values and $ shares,
albeit with higher Indian exports to the UAE from 2009 to 2012). Both the US and the EU have been
losing market shares, while China, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Brazil have all increased their
importance but not to the extent that Africa has. In conclusion, both Africa and the UAE Africa have
4
been major growth markets for India, while the older economies of the EU and the US, although still
very important, are languishing.

Table 3 details the Indian exports by product at the HS 2 chapter level. Mineral fuels both head the
recent exports and have shown impressive growth since the 2000 base year. These exports replaced
second-placed HS 71 (precious metals) – in India’s case gold jewellery exports to the Middle Eastern
countries and the US – around 2006, and the rise of fuels has caused the precious metal exports to
decline somewhat in overall percentage shares from what otherwise would have been a consistent

level. Vehicles are in third place, where exports have risen to just over 4% in recent years to ensure
that India is a global exporter of note in this sector. Examining the ITC data shows that treating the
EU as a single entity India was number 11 on the list of vehicle exporters with a 2013 global export
share of 1.0% (just behind Brazil), a rise from just 0.2% in 2000. The other two sectors of note are the
two clothing chapters (61 and 62), both of which have lost at least half of their respective shares in
Indian global exports.

2.2 Manufacturing
Of particular interest to Africa is the manufacturing sector, and again the interesting question is the
extent to which Indian manufacturing exports to non-African markets follow a similar pattern as
Indian manufactured exports that are being exported to Africa. We have defined manufacturing a little
loosely here as excluding resources (HS chapters 26, 27, 28 and 71) and the main agricultural sectors.
These exports are shown in Table 4, and a similar pattern for Africa is apparent in that the global share
increased from 8.7% to 11.2 % over the period. Similarly, shares to China increased but those to the
UAE stagnated, and again the major ‘old’ markets (the EU and the US) declined in relative, but not
absolute, importance. Note that South Africa is a major Indian market in its own right, with 1.9% if
Indian exports destined for it in 2013.

The Indian percentage shares of manufacturing imports (Indian exports) into the EU, the US and
Africa are shown in Table 5. Starting with the EU we see that India’s share increased from an initial
1.4% through to 2.5% while China’s share of 11.2% through to 28.0% is around ten times higher. The
Indian market share in the US increased from 0.7% in 2001 to 1.5% in 2013, with these figures again
very much in the shadow of China’s comparable 10.7% through to the most recent years of just over
25%. For Africa, India’s share just more than doubled from 2.1% to 4.7% while China’s increase from
4.5% to 20.6% is again more dramatic.
The pattern is clear: China powered up to a market share of between 21% and 28% in each of the three
main markets, while India generally about doubled its market share to a level still significantly below
the Chinese shares. It is noteworthy that both the Chinese and Indian patterns are similar across the
three markets.

2.3 Agriculture
Agriculture is another sector of interest for Africa, and, to put India in perspective, Table 6 shows the
main global agricultural exporters. With the EU regarded as a single exporter,
India ranks at number 5 on the table, nestled in there with its fellow BRIC members3 with an export
share that rose from 1.6% of the global total to 3.4%. This is a higher percentage share than India has
of the total world trade, and importantly that share has been maintained in recent years.

growth over the period as indicated by the table above. Africa’s share was stable and was indeed the
main destination in some years as the EU share declined and the US share fluctuated. We have

2.4 Indian imports
The overall picture for Indian imports is shown in Table 8 where the abrupt shift for the African share
of the Indian market in 2007 to a new consistent level of around 8.5% can be seen from the earlier
level of around 4.5% or lower. Similar increases can be seen in imports from China and the oil
exporters of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq, Kuwait, Venezuela, Qatar and Nigeria (included in the
African data) as the global oil prices increased. Conversely, most of this change was at the expense of
the EU share and to a lesser extent that of the US.
A snapshot of the Indian total import profile is given in Table 9 with 2013 as the reference year. The
HS chapter code and the product descriptions are given, with these followed by the 2013 import
values in dollars (millions). The next two columns show the Indian growth rates, firstly from 2009 to
2013 and then from 2012 to 2013. The last three columns provide a global perspective with firstly the
global growth for 2009-2013 (where the overall Indian growth of 16% is above the global 10%),
India’s share in world trade and then the global rankings by both overall and sector.

2.5 Services
Anecdotal evidence suggests that India is becoming a major player in the global services trade, and in
this section we will examine this hypothesis and review India’s global profile. Unfortunately, we do
not have ready access to bilateral service flows, so we will just present the aggregated Indian profile
with respect to global trade and the Indian percentage share of these respective sectors.
Table 11 shows Indian service exports, with the top part representing the actual values by sector in
dollars (millions) and the lower segment indicating India’s global shares in the same sectors. Note in
particular in the top right-hand cell that India’s service exports during 2013 were valued at some
$151,386 million. To put this figure in perspective, it represents some 45% of the reported
merchandise exports from India during that year. It is an important export sector for India. Perhaps
more striking, however, is the lower segment of the table, which shows that India’s global share of
world service exports increased from 1.14% in 2000 through to 3.26% in 2013. This is an impressive
increase. India’s reputation rests on the computer and related information sector, and here we see that
11
(a) it currently represents around one-third of India’s service exports ($49.5 billion) but more
impressively it represents 18.28% of global exports in this category – a share that it has held since
2008. There are also some impressive increases in categories such as transport and ‘other business
service’ that we report without commentary.

The comparable data for Indian service imports are shown in Table 12. India has a trade surplus in
service of around $25 billion, with the total imports of $125,689 million being below the exports of
$151,386 million. Transportation is an interesting sector, with nearly half of the Indian imports here,
and ‘other business services’ are the only other main imports.

3. The Crystal Ball Analysis for future Indian trade
3.1 Introduction
The analysis to date has clearly highlighted the rise of India in international trade. This raises the
interesting question as to what the future may hold, and in this section we will undertake an analysis
to provide some answers to that question; answers are based upon much more than straight-line
extrapolations or pure guesswork. There must, of course, be limits to the rise of India, but this sector
will endeavour to give a partial answer to where those limits may be. In particular, we would not
expect the future pathway for India to be as dramatic as that projected for the companion analysis of
China’s future, but nonetheless India is likely to be of importance to Africa in particular.
In undertaking research on the implications of a trade policy change such as a Free Trade Agreement
(FTA) using a computer model the standard approach is to programme the model with as many as
possible of the known changes, and these include the best estimates of all the macroeconomic changes
such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and population forecasts. This then becomes the
’baseline’, and the differences between the so-called baseline scenario and the so-called primary
scenario that are being examined (such as an FTA) are therefore the direct results of implementation
of the FTA. The baseline is the counterfactual. However, an equally interesting question may be:
What are the trade patterns as projected in the baseline that we are using to examine the FTA against?
This section uses the GTAP database to assess what the trade profiles for India may look in the
foreseeable future given the best information that we currently have.
The standard GTAP model is a comparative static general equilibrium model that examines all aspects
of an economy. The economic agents (consumers, producers and government) are modelled according
to neoclassical economic assumptions, with both producers and consumers maximising profits and
welfare respectively, with markets perfectly competitive, and with all regions and activities linked. In
a simulation run results are measured as a change in welfare arising from the reallocation of resources
and the resulting change in allocative efficiency, as terms of trade effects, as capital accumulation, and
as changes in unskilled employment.
The database we are using is the pre-release Version 9 GTAP database with the base year of 2011. We
then run this baseline by updating the standard database with a projection of the world economy from
2011 to 2025, applying suitable shocks to GDP, population, labour and capital, as well as
incorporating important developments, realised or planned, since 2011.
14
The assumptions for the macroeconomic forecasts that we use are shown in Tables 13 and 14; the
main forecast is perhaps the projected GDP growth rates in Table 13. In general these projections
predict a continuation of strong growth from both the dynamic Asian economies and, to a slightly
lesser extent, growth in Africa, but continued moderate growth in the older economies such as the EU
and the US. Intuitively we would expect trade to gravitate towards the stronger growth economies,
and this indeed would be a factor in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections, themselves in
a simultaneous relationship. Therefore these assumptions about the future are crucial. Finally, we must
emphasise the role of total factor productivity in driving these results as other tralac research
highlights just how important this is, and we also acknowledge that three of the fifteen years that we
are forecasting for have already passed.

More background information for the GTAP model is shown in Table 14 which gives more details of
the crucial working assumptions of the model in terms of population growth (which is in turn a major
driver of the labour data), capital assumptions and the very important factor, productivity growth.
Capital and Total Factor Productivity (TFP) are endogenously determined by the GTAP model and
version 9 database. Productivity growth has been the driving force behind both Indian and Chinese
expansion in recent years and it is expected to continue to be strong. Not shown is that we have not
allowed for an increase in the production of natural resources in the database.
In the standard model, gains from allocative efficiency arise from an improved reallocation of
resources from less to more productive uses. Terms of trade effects are the consequence of changing
export and import prices facing a country. Capital accumulation summarises the long-run welfare
consequences of changes in the stock of capital due to changes in net investment, and the long-run
15
welfare gains from capital accumulation tend to reinforce the short-term welfare gains deriving from
allocative efficiency and terms of trade. The welfare effects of changed employment rates are the
consequence of changes in the employment of the unskilled labour force due to changes in the real
wage. In a situation where the demand for labour increases and thereby the real wage, the number of
employees increases, reducing the relative increase in the real wage and thereby increasing the
competitiveness of the country’s industries.

The real value of the GTAP model is that it forces consistency in the global trade system, with that
consistency based upon the best information we have. The global trade-offs that happen in ‘real life’
are proxied, and the results at 2025 are the best estimates we have of what trade patterns are likely to
be at that time.
We examine the GTAP database for 2011 in terms of Indian trade profiles for Africa, the EU, the US
and China along with the rest of the world (RoW) as the residual and then compare and contrast that
base with the 2025 projections. The emphasis is on trade shares and changes to these shares rather
than on the absolute values. We use an aggregation of the GTAP sectors for agriculture to show
primary and secondary agriculture (albeit with sugar separately given its special relevance to Africa),
natural resources, most of the individual GTAP manufacturing sectors, and an aggregation of the
GTAP service sectors. Note that these GTAP sectors do not reconcile with the sectors that we have
been using to date.
3.2 The results
Given that tralac is undertaking this trade analysis for China as well as for India, we have included
both China and India in Table 15 that shows the percentage shares of world trade of both by GTAP
sectors at the initial 2011 start and 2025 projections. For Indian exports (left-hand segment) it is
16
notable that India’s shares for agriculture and natural resources declined between 2011 and the
projected 2025 in all four sectors shown. The crucial textiles, namely the clothing and leather
(footwear) sectors, are interesting because India’s global importance increases in clothing but not in
textiles and footwear. For clothing, India’s global importance increases from 4.2% to 6.7% as it picks
up some of China’s decline. However, in the traditional manufacturing sectors, India’s global
importance is accentuated with increases in all sectors (except the unimportant lumber), and many of
these increases are impressive. While of course India is not the global giant that China is, it becomes
an even more significant global player in manufacturing. The vehicles sector is a good example of this
as its share almost doubles from 0.7% to 1.3%. Services for China show little change whereas the
converse holds for India as service exports rise significantly to be above those from China.

For imports (right-hand side), India increased its percentage of agricultural products to more than
double the 2011 level, which is a mirror image for the large decline in global agricultural exports.
India’s projected economic growth is almost certainly behind the almost 50% (2.4 percentage points)
rise in global natural resource imports, and in manufacturing India’s global shares increase in almost
all sectors. Global service imports also rise.
Overall, the Asian trade trends of the last thirty years or so are showing no signs of changing, although
the pace is slowing.
We will now turn to a more detailed analysis of the Indian trade forecasts to look at these GTAP
sectors by bilateral trade with Africa, the EU, the US and India along with our residual RoW. Note
that we did not have Japan in our model run so we are unable to precisely replicate the data from the
first section of this paper. We start our presentation with exports and then turn to imports.
3.3 Indian exports
Data for the Indian trade projections through to 2025 are shown in Table 16. The upper segment of the
table starts by showing on the left-hand side the initial 2011 values for exports to Africa, the US, the
EU and China plus RoW; on the upper right-hand side the initial market shares of Indian exports
destined for Africa, the US, the EU, China and RoW are shown. The middle segment shows the
comparable data for the projected 2025 values (expressed in real 2011 US dollars (millions)) and the
new destination shares. Finally, the lower segment of the table shows (1) the differences in export
shares by destination for each GTAP segment, (2) the total values relating to the 2011 and 2025
exports by sector and total, and (3) the ratio as measured by final exports over initial exports to show
where the main increases derived from. The data is shown by the aggregate GTAP sectors of
agriculture, natural resource, TCF (textiles, clothing and footwear), manufacturing (other than TCF),
services, and the grand total.
The important data is shown in the lower section of the table where the percentage-point differences in
destination shares are shown. Overall, the bottom line (literally and figuratively) shows that there is a
swing to Africa of 1.1 percentage points and a larger 2.8 percentage points to RoW while the US stays
virtually the same. These changes are at the expense of the EU for 2.5 percentage points and China
(surprisingly) with a 1.5 percentage-point loss. By sector we can see that agricultural exports from
India declined dramatically (to 33% of their 2011 level), and this is an important finding as the earlier
section of this paper showed that India is a major global agricultural exporter. Conversely, India’s
18
global manufacturing exports increased significantly from $165 billion to $564 billion, service exports
also increased significantly from $65 billion to $149 billion.

3.4 Indian imports
Table 17 moves on to show the comparable data for Indian imports at 2025, with the same format as
Table 17. Dramatic as the rise in exports to $800 billion was this still leaves Indian imports of $809
billion just above the export value, although this is a significant trade balance improvement from in
the large deficit of $100 billion in 2011. Overall, there is a significant 2.2 percentage point increase in
the African share of Indian imports, with the highlight being the 6.3 percentage-points increase in
agricultural imports from Africa. The overall increase from RoW is similar to that from Africa, while
19
there is also an increase of 1.2 percentage points from China. These increases are at the expense of the
EU (3.9 points down) and US which dropped 1.2 points. Also notable by sector is the large swing in
TCF imports away from China to RoW and to a lesser extent Africa.
Thus, from our modelling it is clear that imports are projected to increase to a level that matches
exports and thus trade balance parity. By sector, there is a large increase in agricultural imports and a
large swing in TCF imports away from China. By overall import sources, there are solid increases
from Africa and RoW, a modest increase from China and a large decline away from the EU and a
lesser one away from the US.
