- Furthermore, according to the Society of Indian Automotive Manufacturing (SIAM) data, in the financial year 2023, India manufactured 4.58 million vehicles, marking a notable increase from the 3.65 million produced in 2022—a growth rate of about 25%.
- China is the global leader in building construction and is poised to drive nearly half of the world's new construction activities in the coming decade. Moreover, China is set to invest USD 1.43 trillion in 2025. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) highlights the Shanghai Plan, earmarking a substantial USD 38.7 billion investment by 2025.
- Furthermore, the construction sector of Malaysia grew in 2023, with a total of 9144 projects successfully implemented until September 2023, according to Public Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi. In addition, there has been an increase in the country's investments in various commercial construction projects. For instance, Google invested around USD 2 billion in developing the country’s first data center and a Google Cloud hub in May 2024. The new hubs will be developed at a business park in central Malaysia’s Selangor state to meet the growing demand for cloud services and artificial intelligence literacy programs for Malaysian students and educators.
- According to a representative from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), the nation has emerged as one of the largest markets globally for medical devices. The medical device sector in China has seen swift growth, boasting an average annual growth rate of 10.54% over the last five years, according to NMPA.
- According to Invest India, the present value of the medical devices sector in India is projected to be around USD 11 billion. India stands out as the quickest-expanding market for medical devices among the developing nations. The export of medical devices has witnessed a CAGR of 9% to 11% over the past five years. It is anticipated that India's medical device exports will surpass USD 10 billion by the year 2025.
- Given the above-mentioned facts and factors, the demand for TPV is expected to increase at the fastest rate in the Asia-Pacific market during the forecast period.
