A Dynamic Marketplace

To bolster manufacturing and innovation, governments are investing heavily in this sector. For instance, India's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes have allocated INR 1.97 lakh crores across 14 key sectors, including large-scale electronics manufacturing. Driven by urbanisation and rising incomes, this industry has quick market dynamics, fierce competition, and challenges like counterfeiting, short product lifecycles and broad supply chain issues, including IP claims and trade restrictions.
