Future Business Prospects in India Asia is now the focus of growth in the rubber industry. All the world s natural rubber is grown in this region namely Thailand, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and so on. The fastest growing economies in the world are here namely China, India, Korea, Malaysia etc. World s power house Japan is here. The largest investments in new synthetic rubber plants are coming up in Asia. Production of all auto majors is shifting to Asia, even as consumption wise Asia s share in the world s auto market grows Highest growth and availability of technically trained manpower for the rubber industry in this region. While EU and US have now become a saturated market for the rubber industry all the action is shifting to Asia Low demand growth for end products, high labor products, very strict environmental norms, non availability of natural rubber in the backyard are all propelling the worlds major input suppliers for the rubber industry to look towards Asia India, with an extensive plantation sector, availability of basic raw materials in abundance, availability of cheap labor, technically skilled man power and a vast domestic market is need of new investments for major raw materials and various rubber products particularly technically rubber goods Free Trade Agreements with more countries particularly from Asia and Government policy to allow foreign direct investment (FDI) and Foreign Institution Investment (FII) offer good scope for joint venture business activity
