Medical Fair
India is going from strength to strength as the number of
exhibitors in the current edition is likely to be more than 300 as against 261
in 2011 and 185 in 2009. The fair had attracted approx. 6000 visitors last year
and a further rise in the number of visitors is anticipated for 2012 too.
Medical Fair, which alternates annually between Mumbai and Delhi, is the ideal
platform to meet the "Who's Who" of the sector, to discuss and seal
new deals. About 60% of the exhibitors come from countries such as France,
Belgium, Malaysia, Taiwan, Korea, the USA and Germany. This is also the first
time that the organisers look forward to welcoming exhibitors from Japan and
Finland.
The Indian healthcare sector is expected to become a US$ 280 billion industry
by 2020 with spending on health estimated to grow 14 per cent annually,
according to a report by an industry body. At present the sector is estimated
to be around US$ 40 billion and will grow to US$ 78.6 billion by end-2012,
Better standard of living, improved education and increasing incidence of
lifestyle diseases is triggering a higher demand for modern, quicker treatment
methods and newer forms of therapy/diagnosis. The increase in private sector
hospitals is also fueling the demand for latest medical technology and
equipment.
The fair is supported by Indian associations such as AIMED (Association of
Indian Medicals Device Industry), IAPMR (Indian Association of Physical
Medicine and Rehabilitation) MSAHITA ( Medical Surgical and Healthcare Industry
Trade Association) and at the international level, by institutions such as
MREPC (Malaysian Rubber Export Promotion Council), CCCMHPIE (China Chamber of
Commerce for Import & Export of Medicines & Health Products), KMDICA
(Korea Medical Devices Industrial Cooperation Association), Ubi France, SAMD
(Shenzhen Association of Medical Devices), Spectaris, GHE (German Health Care Export
Group) and the ZVEI (Zentralverband Elektrotechnik und Elektroindustrie e.V.).
Cooperative ventures with Indian hospitals such as Fortis and Apollo Hospitals
have also already been confirmed.
