Many Indian key importers have already confirmed their participation including The Spices Board of India, Novozymes, DKSH India, Kerry, Enhance, Piramal Healthcare, Parry Nutraceuticals, Novastell etc.

      “Fi India is once again demonstrating that it is changing with the market and is thus fully exploiting its great innovation potential for the benefit of the exhibitors and visitors. It is an iconic exhibition that has established a reputation for cost-effectively delivering customers to suppliers and new sources, products and networking opportunities to visitors”, reports Mr. Sanjeev  Khaira- Managing Director, UBM India.  

Thanks to rising disposable incomes, the overall food consumption market in India is forecast to climb from USD 155 billion in 2005 to USD 344 billion in 2025 - with compound growth at 4.1%. Growing incomes, and companies racing to capture India’s middle class consumers will cause the food market to evolve dramatically in the coming years.

Some of the interesting products/concepts to be showcased in the event are technology to sustain freshness in Indian flat bread, to make the milk more digestible, egg & fat replacers in ice cream and ‘Dietary Soluble fiber’ which will help enhance the nutritional value in the food as well as improve functional characteristics such as lowering fat and sugar.
