📈 India’s Global Export Share (2000–2024): Rapid Rise Followed by Prolonged Slowdown

India’s goods exports surged between 1999 and 2011, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.5%, lifting its share of global exports from 0.6% to 1.7%. However, from 2011 to 2024, growth slowed markedly to a 3.0% CAGR, with India’s global export share inching up to just 1.8%—highlighting challenges in sustaining export momentum.

The slowdown reflects structural challenges—limited manufacturing scale, uneven policy implementation, and a narrow export base—that have constrained India’s ability to sustain export momentum.
