ABSTRACT

There are a few sectors which are clearly among the upcoming sunrise sectors. Among these are: the aerospace industry, the electronics hardware manufacturing, and the gems and jewellery industry. A snapshot of the prospects in these is given in this chapter. There are a few sectors that, though not showing much signs of participation in GVCs (with the exception of the diamond industry) at present, would inevitably do so as the economy grows. For instance, the paper industry, though primarily domestically oriented and technologically backward with little foreign direct investment (FDI), is likely to come up in the coming decade. The case of this sector is also discussed in this chapter.
