Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming global trade by enabling the development of intelligent market access systems that enhance efficiency, decision-making, and cross-border connectivity. In the Indian context, AI integration is significantly expanding both domestic and international trade opportunities by reducing transaction costs, improving logistics performance, and supporting data-driven decision-making. The study highlights measurable improvements such as reduced customs clearance time, shorter export processing duration, and enhanced demand forecasting accuracy, which collectively strengthen trade efficiency. AI-powered platforms are also facilitating real-time market intelligence and predictive analytics, enabling businesses, particularly Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), to access global markets more effectively. Furthermore, India’s expanding AI ecosystem, supported by strong talent availability and government initiatives like Digital India and the National AI Strategy, is positioning the country as a key player in AI-driven global trade networks. The findings also indicate increased export market reach, higher MSME participation, and a growing contribution of digital trade, reflecting a structural shift toward technology-driven trade systems. However, challenges such as digital infrastructure gaps, regulatory uncertainties, and skill shortages continue to limit the full potential of AI adoption. The study concludes that AI-driven intelligent market systems are not only improving efficiency but also redefining competitiveness and inclusivity in India’s trade landscape, highlighting the need for strategic investments in infrastructure, policy frameworks, and skill development for sustainable growth.
