PwC India, in collaboration with the Observer Research Foundation, released a study on March 8, 2026, estimating Artificial Intelligence could contribute $135.6–149.9 billion in value creation for manufacturing MSMEs in India by 2035, under a scenario where MSMEs account for 50% of India’s gross manufacturing value added. Earlier that day, PwC findings indicated Vietnam's climb to second place among investment destinations favored by regional CEOs, surpassing mainland China (14%) and trailing only the United States (42%), with investor interest in Vietnam nearly doubling from 8% to 15% in a single year.
