The market size of India’s packaging industry is expected to touch US$ 72.6 billion by FY 2020 on account of rising population and income levels. The growth is driven primarily by pharmaceuticals, foods and beverages. About 45% of the packaging machinery and materials produced is absorbed by the food processing sector alone, 25% by the pharmaceuticals sector, and 10% each by the personal products, tea, coffee and industrial product industries. These optimistic figures open up various new opportunities for the industry. Amid this scenario, PackPlus is setting up a business and networking platform for the industry from 28-31 August 2019 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. The event will be co-located with CartonTech, SupplyPlus, PackSol and India Converting Show.
Prateek Kaushik, portfolio director says, “The industry has recognized and appreciated PackPlus over the last several years. Today PackPlus is the biggest show in its category and is growing with each edition. Now, after coming under the umbrella of Reed Exhibitions, our exhibitors and visitors will experience the rise in overall class and quality of the exhibition.”
The exhibitors span across three major segments–primary packaging and automation, supply chain, material handling and flexible packaging, converting and corrugation. With 325+ exhibitors having already signed up for the show, PackPlus is expected to showcase a wide range of products and services related to packaging machines, materials and equipment, coding and marking solutions.
