Techtextil India Symposium 2012 Indian Technical Textile Industry – the way forward

The Government of India has given a major thrust on the development of the technical textile industry and has estimated the sector to reach $36 billion by 2016-17 with an annual growth rate of 20%. India is set to play a huge role in the development of various facilities in the country, thus offering one of the greatest growth potential in this sector. India and China will not only create a huge demand for technical textiles but also show growth in production at a higher rate. This holds immense potential for all investors and offers a compelling reason for buyers and sellers of technical textiles to keep their focus on India and develop a rational strategy to seize the emerging opportunities

It is in this light that Messe Frankfurt India is glad to announce a two day high level ‘Techtextil India Symposium’ from October 30 - 31, 2012 in Mumbai. This will provide a unique platform bringing together both professionals from India and overseas with the objective to provide a roadmap for the Indian Technical Textile Industry as well share and exchange information on the key issues that are being faced in the sector today. Techtextil India Symposium will help the Indian companies realize the full potential of this rapidly growing sector and moreover, become globally competitive.
