As we move into 2025, several notable trends are expected to influence markets in India and globally. Shifts in US trade policies, including higher tariffs, could alter international trade patterns and supply chains, prompting countries like India to reassess trade agreements and may introduce market uncertainty.

This trend may continue into 2025 as the emphasis on digitization, financial inclusion, and regulatory reforms strengthen the sector.
