Barclays highlights India's private consumption exceeding 60% of GDP as a game-changer, providing stable domestic demand unlike China's 40% share reliant on slow, costly rebalancing from property/exports. This cushions firms in healthcare, defence, and logistics amid 2026 earnings focus, positioning India as Asia's strongest market.

Consumption Powerhouse
India's household spending above 60% of GDP creates a reliable internal market, shielding companies from global slowdowns. Barclays' 2026 Outlook notes this separates India from Asian peers, enabling predictable revenues for domestic-focused sectors as US cools and Europe lags.
China Contrast
China's 40% consumption struggles with property weakness and export dependence, making its shift to demand-led growth "lengthy and costly" via heavy policy intervention. India's model reinforces positive Asia momentum, with AI boosting efficiency in real-economy sectors.
