PrintFair returns to Hyderabad from 20 to 22 March
There has been a revolutionary change in the last few years in the printing industry in India. Growing at a rate of 12% per annum, the Indian printing industry comprises more than 250,000 big, small and medium printers. It is slowly progressing from the heavy machinery using industry to a more software-centric business. The advent of global brands, rising consumerism and growth of the pharmaceutical industry have seen an increase in the scope for package printing. By 2025, India is expected to become the fifth largest consumer market in the world, according to CII. The inception of new technologies along with a rise in eCommerce, changing lifestyles, urbanisation and increased personal health awareness has boosted the growth of the print and packaging markets.
