With an initiative to provide manufacturers a platform to showcase their high-quality and competitive lighting technologies, Messe Frankfurt India Trade Fairs Pvt Ltd will organise LED Expo 2015, considered to be India’s largest international exhibition on LED lighting products and technology, from May 7-9 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai.
Several LED street-lighting pilot projects in India are under process or in the planning phase, wherein traditional streetlights are expected to be replaced by LED bulbs. Against this background, LED Expo – which is known to attract influential industry players and decision makers from commercial, retail and business sectors, urban and town planners, architects, interior designers, municipal corporations, energy service companies as well as regulatory bodies – will create an ideal arena for LED and lighting sector players to showcase their high-quality LED applications, lighting products, components, manufacturing equipment, machinery and allied products of competitive lighting technologies. This platform will cover solutions for architectural, automotive, residential, commercial and street lighting use, as well as decorative landscape and garden lighting.
With the government's decision to switch to LED for all street lamps and public space lighting, coupled with environmental concerns, manufacturing capacity expansions and falling prices, the Indian LED industry is expected to reach Rs 21,600 crore ($ 3.43 billion) by 2020, according to ELCOMA.
India’s bright prospects have domestic and foreign investors making a beeline to tap into this lucrative market with the exhibition already having received confirmations from over 75 companies from Germany, India, Korea, Russia, Singapore, Thailand and the UAE. LED Expo will also see exclusive international pavilions from Taiwan and China which are eyeing the Indian market to showcase their LED and OLED solutions in lighting. The industry’s prominent players such as FIEM Industries, MLS India, Maklites, Sigma Lighting, Led lighting Fixtures, Blue Led, Smartlight and LedLux among others will be exhibiting at the fair.
LED Expo takes place annually in both Delhi and Mumbai, in December and May respectively, and is the only event in the industry focused solely on LED products. The exhibition is headed by the biennial Light + Building event, which will take place from March 13-18, 2016 in Frankfurt, Germany.
