PLASTINDIA New Delhi, India 9 - 14 February 2006 6th International Plastics Exhibition and Conference

Plastindia takes place just once every three years in New Delhi and is the best way for UK companies to develop a presence in the world's 2nd largest growing economy.

The BPF are exhibiting at PLASTINDIA 2006 and offering UK companies the opportunity to take part, with UK Trade & Investment funding available for eligible SMEs (covering 50% of costs, up to £2,500).  This will give companies an excellent, high profile and cost-effective way to explore and increase exposure in this exciting market.

The Indian plastic market is growing at a startling rate (typically 12-15% per annum in recent years) and it is estimated that by 2010 India will be the 3rd largest polymer consumer in the world. 

Despite this consumption per head in India remains low, just 3 Kg per head versus a global average of 17 Kg - investment potetnial is therefore vast.  It is estimated that to meet processing demands, 51,600 machines will be required by 2010. In moulds and dies the current capacity is 2000 tools, however the industry estimates that over 15,000 tools will be needed in order to maintain the momentum of the plastics industry.

Foreign suppliers will therefore be essential to help maintain India’s plastics industry growth - make sure your company is one of these suppliers!!!

PLASTINDIA 2006 will showcase the status of the global industry in terms of market knowledge, polymer technology, advancements in the processing and finishing of plastic items.

At Plastindia 2003 the BPF co-ordinated a highly succesful UK Pavilion  with 90% of exhibitors saying they would be returning again in 2006.  Over 1200 exhibitors and nearly 1 million visitors, from more than 30 countries will be attending PLASTINDIA 2006.  Spread over 60,000 sq metres Plastindia 2006 will be the biggest trade-fair of its kind in Asia Pacific Region
