State Bank of India
(SBI).
The report highlighted that India, which currently holds a 6 per cent share in the
US apparel imports
market, stands to benefit if it captures an additional 5 per cent share from competing countries. This potential gain could translate into a 0.1 per cent addition to India's GDP.
The report noted that apart from its strong position in chemicals, India has a Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) in textiles and exports apparel and accessories to the United States.

However, it faces stiff competition from countries like Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Vietnam in this segment. Of these, Vietnam currently enjoys a more favorable tariff structure.
The report stated that for the other countries, Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Indonesia, the current US tariff structure places them at a disadvantage compared to India.

It stated "India can capture apparel exports share of Bangladesh, Cambodia and Indonesia".
The analysis is supported by US import data from 2024. The top five items the US imports from Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Indonesia prominently include "Apparel & Accessories," with Bangladesh contributing a massive 88.2 per cent of its US exports in this category, Cambodia at 30.8 per cent, and Indonesia at 15.3 per cent.
These countries are now likely to face higher tariffs from the US, opening up a window of opportunity for India to expand its footprint.
In addition to apparel, SBI's report identified further export growth potential for India in other sectors, particularly in countries affected by US tariff changes.
These include agricultural goods, livestock and its products, waste and scrap, especially metal scrap, and various processed animal and vegetable products.
The report concluded that India should actively leverage this trade shift and strengthen its export presence, especially in categories where it holds a comparative advantage.
By capitalizing on emerging opportunities amid changing global trade dynamics, India can not only boost its exports but also drive incremental growth in its economy.

‘Not going to rush': Ahead of Trump's tariff deadline, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent shares update; says ‘more concerned about…'
The US will not fast-track trade deals simply to meet deadlines, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said, signalling that the Trump administration remains focused on securing high-quality agreements even as a key tariff deadline approaches. In an interview with CNBC, Bessent stated, 'The Trump administration is more concerned with the quality of trade agreements rather than their timing. We're not going to rush for the sake of doing deals.' The remarks come ahead of the August 1 deadline, when tariffs on several US trade partners could kick in if talks fail to yield progress, according to an ET report. While describing the ongoing negotiations as 'moving along,' Bessent warned that failure to reach agreements could escalate trade tensions. 'If we boomerang on August 1 tariffs, higher tariffs could put more pressure on countries,' he said. Allies under pressure as US sticks to its terms Bessent pointed to growing engagement from the European Union, noting, 'They've become more engaged,' and said he expects Brussels may aim to speed up negotiations. 'I imagine they would want to negotiate faster,' he added. On Japan, Bessent clarified that Washington's focus remains firmly on securing the best outcomes for the US, not adapting to domestic political calendars in partner countries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo 'Our priorities are not internal government but best deals for U.S.,' he said. Despite the approaching deadline, Bessent expressed confidence in the ongoing discussions. 'Trade is in a good place,' he said. Russia tariffs tied to political goals Touching on Russia, Bessent acknowledged that tariff measures can go beyond trade. 'Tariffs can be a means to political ends,' he said, referring to current conversations around sanctions. He also hinted at a possible joint strategy with allies, saying, 'Would urge Europe to follow us if we implement secondary tariffs,' without naming affected sectors or timelines. China discussions may restart, focus on overcapacity and oil On China, Bessent said talks could resume 'in the near future,' but flagged overcapacity as the primary concern. 'The elephant in the room with China is overcapacity,' he said, mentioning steel and solar as key pressure points. He also pointed to two new areas of concern that may enter future negotiations—Beijing's trade ties with Russia and its stance on Iranian oil. 'Could start talking about Iranian oil,' Bessent said, while adding that the US 'could discuss [China's] trade with Russia' as part of broader diplomatic talks.
