The Government of India's National Manufacturing Policy has an objective to increase the share of manufacturing in GDP to 25 percent by 2025.  The gap in demand and supply has spurred the requirement for increased capabilities in this sector, including promotion of advanced manufacturing practices.  Although fragmented, the Indian manufacturing industry is gradually moving towards higher end, sophisticated machinery driven by the growing demand in end-user segments like automobiles; aerospace and defense; industrial automation; capital goods and consumer durables. The Indian manufacturing sector is expected to offer growing opportunities for U.S. exporters that supply innovative technologies in the advanced manufacturing segment, including 3D printing, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, robotics and IoT.    Featured Advanced Manufacturing Market Australia AM Market: Australia's total Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing market is estimated at USD70 million and demand is gradually shifting from the hobbyist usage to a low base within the commercial and industrial market. In the manufacturing sector, Australia is not known as an early adopter of technology; however, once the technology has gained traction, they become a rapid adopter.  Therefore, the next five years are likely to see an increasing demand for professional and industrial-grade 3D printing solutions. Australian businesses are primarily using 3D printing for prototyping and concept modeling with some limited level use in the manufacture of the production of parts. In the industrial and commercial applications, 3D printing is still primarily being outsourced. Sectors that already represent existing markets for 3D printing solutions include: food and beverages, medical and dental, defense (including aerospace), space, automotive (aftermarket sector), and architectural engineering. Machine tool distributors are starting to add 3D printing solutions to their product lines but most existing 3D printing equipment suppliers do not stock different product lines. There are only a relatively small number of distributors and it is typical for one distributor to be a foreign company's official or exclusive representative and in turn sell directly to resellers and end-users.
