    Amid shifting global dynamics—driven by rising geopolitical tensions, escalating labor costs in China, and supply chain disruptions from the United States (U.S.)-China trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic—the China+1 strategy has gained momentum as companies seek to diversify manufacturing beyond China. These shifts have opened space for alternative manufacturing locations, with India in a strong position to expand its role as a global pharmaceutical hub. This study evaluates India’s pharmaceutical export competitiveness in the U.S. market using three indices: Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Comparative Advantage by Countries (CAC), and Market Comparative Advantage (MCA). Based on data from 2003 to 2023, the analysis shows that India maintains competitiveness in most pharmaceutical categories—particularly under HS Codes 3001, 3003, 3004, 3005, and 3006—while showing weaker performance in 3002 and 3005. Although India holds a stable position in U.S. exports, its overall global competitiveness remains uneven due to low RCA values in several categories. These findings highlight the need for a more targeted, product-specific export strategy to strengthen India’s position in global pharmaceutical supply chains amid ongoing realignments in trade and sourcing.
