Major Sectors of Imports
from India by Israel
Israel’s Imports from India
Israel's imports of goods from India in 2016 registered a decrease
of about 13% to reach approximately US$ 800 million.This reflects
an annual decrease after imports fell during 2015 by about 11%. In
fact, despite the downward trend, the level of imports in 2016 was
similar to average imports during the period 2011-2013.
Israel imports from India weremainly Chemical Products (approximately
29%of total imports), Textile Products (about 18% from the total
imports), Plastics and Rubber (about 12% from the total import)
and Electric Equipment and Machinery (about 11% of total imports).
The decrease in the volume of imports in 2016 was mainly influenced
by the decrease in imports of chemicals (a decrease of 23% to
approximately US$ 235 million) and in imports of Machinery and
Electrical Equipment (decreased by approximately 40% to US$ 88
million). On the other hand, increases in imports of Textiles (rise of
18% to US$ 141 million) and Plastics and Rubber Products (increased
by approximately 43% to US$ 95 million) contributed to offset the
overall decrease in imports in 2016.
