The recently concluded India–EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) — often called the “Mother of All Deals” — is expected to significantly reshape trade between India and Europe.
In practical terms:
If Indian exports to the EU stand at roughly $75–76 billion today, analysts estimate that a 50% increase could push this figure to $110–115 billion within a few years of full implementation.
For Indian OEM exporters — particularly in food, dairy, chemical, and textile industries — this growth is not theoretical. It represents real projects, real plants, and real demand for automation-driven systems.
Why This Growth Matters for OEM Exporters
European manufacturers are under growing pressure to:
As tariff barriers reduce and trade conditions improve under the FTA, Indian OEMs become far more competitive suppliers of complete plants and systems, not just components.
But access alone is not enough.
Success in Europe increasingly depends on:
This is where valve automation becomes a strategic enabler.
Sector-Wise Opportunities Driven by Export Growth
Food Processing OEMs
(Beverages, packaged foods, edible oils, breweries)
As exports scale toward the projected $110–115 billion level, European buyers are actively seeking:
Opportunity:
Indian food processing OEMs can deliver automation-rich systems at competitive cost — provided valves and actuators deliver repeatable, dependable performance.
Dairy OEMs
(Milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream plants)
Dairy processing is one of the most automation-intensive sectors in Europe.
With export growth accelerating:
Opportunity:
Indian dairy skids and plants, equipped with dependable valve automation, can compete effectively in a market once dominated by European suppliers.
Chemical OEMs
(Specialty chemicals, intermediates, agrochemicals)
A significant share of India’s EU exports already comes from chemical value chains — and this is expected to grow further under the FTA.
Chemical plants demand:
Opportunity:
OEMs exporting reactors, skids, and process systems can strengthen bids by integrating robust, automation-ready valve solutions, improving safety and lifecycle value.
Textile OEMs
(Dyeing, finishing, washing, processing plants)
As exports grow, Europe’s textile sector is investing in:
Opportunity:
Indian textile machinery, already globally competitive, gains further advantage when supported by automated steam, water, and dosing control.
How Fluidtecq Is Positioned for This Growth
Reaching $110–115 billion in exports will require more than scale — it will require consistency, compliance, and dependable automation.
At Fluidtecq, we are preparing for this shift by focusing on:
From Trade Growth to Industrial Transformation
The projected rise from $75–76 billion to $110–115 billion in India–EU exports is not just a trade statistic — it signals a shift in where and how industrial systems are built.
For OEM exporters, automation will increasingly define:
Valve automation moves from being a component to becoming a core value driver.
At Fluidtecq, we are committed to supporting Indian OEMs as they step into this next phase of global growth — confidently, compliantly, and competitively.
