Intelpack in every edition of the show for more than 20 years. He
congratulated the organisers for the tremendous success and hopeful
about finding numerous genuine and serious buyers in the event. Indian packaging industry
India
is one of the fastest growing and lucrative packaging markets in the
world. Currently the Indian packaging industry is estimated to grow at
18 per cent per annum. Identifying and recruiting new distributors and
partners are the priorities of Intelpack 2015.
Unparalleled
networking opportunity within the packaging industry and meet the who's
who from the public, private sectors and competitors are its highlights.
An active buying mode is activated for direct selling to serious
buyers. Building business relationships, launching of new products and
focus on long-term benefits are other important points pertaining to the
event.
Apart from the huge value addition and employment
involved in these activities, packaging has served the Indian economy by
helping preservation of the quality and lengthening shelf life of
innumerable products - ranging from milk and biscuits, to drugs and
medicines, processed and semi-processed foods, fruits and vegetables,
edible oils, and electronic goods.
Heightened competition in all
product sectors within the country as also the increasing need to look
for export markets have contributed to the rising demand for
appropriate, and at the same time cost-effective, packaging material and
technologies. The packaging industry’s growth has led to greater
specialisation and sophistication from the point of view of health (in
the case of packaged foods and medicines) and environment-friendliness
of packing material. The demands on the packaging industry are
challenging, given the increasing environmental awareness among
communities.
