flag India's digital economy grows twice as fast as its GDP, reshaping Asia-Pacific trade through platforms and digital infrastructure.

flag India's digital economy is expanding nearly twice as fast as its overall GDP, driving major economic shifts across the Asia-Pacific region, according to an India Exim Bank report. flag The growth is fueled by booming e-commerce platforms like Flipkart, Alibaba, Rakuten, and GoTo Group, which are challenging global leaders. flag Despite global economic headwinds, intra-regional trade in the Asia-Pacific has risen 43% over four decades, with over half of the region’s trade now occurring internally. flag However, supply chain integration faces hurdles from regulatory differences and concentration risks, prompting calls for policy coordination, digitalization, and stronger infrastructure investment. flag The report highlights India’s digital public infrastructure—Aadhaar, UPI, and ONDC—as a replicable model and stresses that future growth depends on digital readiness, regional cooperation, and integrated strategies across technology, services, and infrastructure.
