India calling for its fifth
international wire exhibition
Attention in this issue falls firmly on the burgeoning market of India,
and more specifically WIRE & CABLE INDIA.
The figures and statistics surrounding this huge slice of the Asian
continent are staggering. From its geography (the seventh largest
country in the world by area), a population of 1.2 billion people and an
infrastructure financing of $1 trillion over the next five years. The
economy is thought, by experts, to grow five-fold in the next 20 years,
and that is after a spurt of seven per cent in GDP this year alone.
Six per cent of that GDP is down to the automotive industry with a
turnover of $73 billion. Two years from now that is expected to have
doubled, and that is one growth region that will appeal to the wire and
cable industry.
Additionally, telecommunications and construction all play a massive
part in India’s rapid expansion and all three sectors have seen growth
of around 25 per cent annually.
WIRE & CABLE INDIA has grown substantially
in-line over recent years, and that is expected
again after 28 th to 30th October in Mumbai. Our
coverage of the exhibition starts on page 57 and
