We take great pleasure in aanouncing that the next Light India International Exhibition and Conference (Lii 2005) will be held from September 9-14 September, 2005 in New Delhi. In the world of lighting there are only two coutries that have consistently seen double digit growth figures, and they are China and India. The $700 million Indian lighting market is now in a maturity stage, where it offers opportunities to large, medium and small 'players' to manufacture, to trade, to supply, or to support.

It is therefore no surprise that some of the world's most respected lighting companies are already in India, Philips, Osram, GE, Thorn, Angelo Brothers, Westinghouse, Zumtobel, Vossloh Schwabe, Atco, Gavis, etc.

The rapidly falling import duties have also opened the Indian market to imports of finished products, sub-assemblies, components and raw materials. It is estimated that already in 2003, over $200 million worth was imported, and the figures are growing rapidly. Domestic lighting luminaires, special application luminaires, compact fluorescent lamps, special application lamps, and a wide range of components and raw materials are presently finding their way into India.

The Indian market is fully developed, with channels of distribution well in place. Lighting products move efficently across the large sub-continent to thousands of retail outlets and speciaised electrical dealers, each with an appropriate infrastructure to cater to consumer requirements.

The emergence of world products has resulted in the enlargement of of the Indian market on the one hand, and the necessity of producing world class products on the other. This in turn has opened the possibility for exports from India, which are growing rapidly because of the advantage India has on competitive pricing, especially where small series of production and labour inputs are involved.

India has become a worthwhile destination for lighting, both for exports and imports. The market is truly global and open to further expansion because it is witnessing phenomenal growth.

Whether you would like to export to India or import from India, Light India International is the ideal platform to meet your buyers or suppliers as the case may be. We look forward to seeing you there!
