Visitors at Vegan India Expo 2019 at the NSIC Exhibition Grounds in Delhi
Vegan population is rapidly increasing in India and across the world. One of the important factors that drive the development of the vegan market is increased awareness of the health advantages of plant-based products.
The Vegan India Expo 2019, the first global B2B vegan fair in the country, took place between 5 and 7 July at the NSIC Exhibition Grounds in Delhi. Vegan India Expo was by supported by National Small-Scale Industries Corporation (NSIC), World Vegan Federation and Federation India Animal Protection Organizations (FIAPO) and organized by EXHIMACT and VERIFAIR. The concurrent vegan industry conference was separately organized at a different venue by World Vegan Organization.
The exhibition aimed to bring brands, businesses and consumers under one roof in order to raise awareness and promote vegan lifestyle in India. It was the first international trade show on the plant-based industry in the country. Although a vegan diet is getting popularity in India and worldwide, the expo was unable to attract as many visitors.
Ankita Pandey, director, Exhimact said, “This is the first vegan show in the country. It will play a pivotal role in helping Indian businesses meet with their counterparts in the world vegan industry and promote their business and the products and services. It would also provide an unparalleled opportunity for face-to-face interactions with potential customers.” She also mentioned plans to organize another vegan exhibition next year.
The Vegan India Expo featured products from various categories like food, beverages, skin care, hair care, cosmetics, fashion, household, lifestyle, pharma, herbal and nutritional products.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
