Why Global Companies Are Turning to India for Contract Manufacturing — And Winning Big

Introduction: India – The World’s New Manufacturing Powerhouse

In a world racing to innovate faster and produce smarter, global companies are rethinking where and how they manufacture. Cost pressures, supply chain disruptions, and the need for agility are pushing businesses to look beyond traditional manufacturing hubs.

Enter India — a dynamic, rapidly growing manufacturing destination that blends cost-efficiency with world-class engineering and execution.

From electronics and automotive components to industrial fabrication and EMS, India’s contract manufacturing landscape has matured into a global force. Backed by skilled engineers, robust infrastructure, and favorable government policies like ‘Make in India’ and PLI schemes, it’s no surprise that India has become a preferred outsourcing partner for companies worldwide.

Let’s explore how contract manufacturing in India helps global companies cut costs, innovate faster, and scale smarter — with real-life case studies and insights from Brick & Byte’s expertise.

Why Global Companies Choose Contract Manufacturing in India

1. Competitive Cost Advantage Without Compromise

India offers one of the best cost-to-quality ratios in the world. Labour costs are significantly lower than in the U.S., Europe, or East Asia — but that doesn’t come at the expense of quality.
Lower operational costs (land, utilities, logistics) allow companies to maintain healthy profit margins while offering globally competitive pricing.

Example: Global brands like Samsung and Xiaomi partner with Dixon Technologies in India to produce LED TVs and smartphones at a fraction of global manufacturing costs — without sacrificing brand quality.

2. Skilled Workforce, Global Standards

Every year, India adds millions of engineers, technicians, and skilled professionals to its workforce. Many of them are trained in international manufacturing standards such as ISO, CE, and UL certifications.
This technical talent ensures that global partners receive products that meet — or exceed — international quality benchmarks.

Example: In the pharmaceutical sector, Dishman Carbogen Amcis and Cadila Pharmaceuticals partner with multinationals to develop and manufacture APIs and formulations that meet stringent FDA and EMA regulations.

3. Government Policies Fueling Growth

India’s government actively supports manufacturing through initiatives like:

• Make in India – Encouraging domestic and foreign manufacturing investment.
• PLI (Production Linked Incentive) Schemes – Offering financial incentives to manufacturers in electronics, EVs, and pharmaceuticals.
• Ease of Doing Business reforms – Faster approvals, streamlined compliance, and improved infrastructure.

Together, these policies make outsourcing manufacturing to India not just cost-effective but strategically sound.

4. Full-Spectrum EMS and Industrial Fabrication Services

India’s EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services) sector is growing at lightning speed — expected to hit USD 152 billion by 2025.
Whether it’s PCB assembly, wiring harnesses, enclosures, or full system builds, Indian manufacturers now offer end-to-end solutions.

In parallel, industrial fabrication services — covering metals, plastics, and heavy engineering — have become a backbone for sectors like renewable energy, transportation, and machinery.

5. Agile, Scalable, and Risk-Mitigated Production

Contract manufacturers in India already have established supply chains, facilities, and vendor networks. This enables faster prototyping, shorter lead times, and scalable production.

For global companies, this means quicker time-to-market and reduced supply chain risk — especially in volatile economic conditions.

Example: During global semiconductor shortages, several European companies relied on Indian EMS firms to assemble sub-systems and PCBs, ensuring continuous production despite global disruptions.

Industries Benefiting from Contract Manufacturing in India

Case Study 1: Dixon Technologies & Samsung – A Partnership That Scales

When Samsung wanted to boost smartphone production in India, it turned to Dixon Technologies, one of India’s top EMS players.

Dixon provided:

• Local component sourcing
• Established assembly lines
• Skilled manpower
• Rapid scalability

As a result, Samsung was able to reduce logistics costs by 25%, launch faster in the Indian market, and ensure seamless exports to neighboring countries.

Case Study 2: Dishman Carbogen Amcis – Global Pharma, Made in India

Dishman Carbogen Amcis, headquartered in Ahmedabad, collaborates with European and U.S. pharmaceutical companies for API and formulation manufacturing.
Their state-of-the-art facilities comply with FDA and EMA standards, offering reliable, cost-efficient, and compliant production.

This partnership model has allowed global pharma brands to cut costs by up to 35% while maintaining consistent quality and global compliance.
