with a record number of over 600 exhibitors from 25 countries and over
15,000 visitors. MEDICAL FAIR INDIA is the leading trade fair for the Indian
healthcare industry and took place from 21 to 23 February in New Delhi(Pragati Maidan Exhibition Center) This signifies an increase in visitors
compared to both last year’s event in Mumbai (12,350) as well as the event
in New Delhi in 2017 (13,480).
“MEDICAL FAIR INDIA can keep up with global developments, shows
innovations based on current trends, offers a varied program for deepening
knowledge and expert dialogues and has proved to be the ideal platform formarket access from the providers’ point of view,” says Thomas Schlitt, CEOof Messe Düsseldorf India, explaining the main success factors in anutshell. At the same time, Schlitt points out that domestic companies viewthe trade fair as promoting economic development: “The exhibitor pavilion“Make in India”, presented by the Association of Indian Manufacturers ofMedical Devices (AIMED), was spectacular and confirmed India’s
tremendous potential as a centre of design, innovation, manufacturing andexport.
The new subject segment “rehaindia”, with a range of products and services
for rehabilitation and care, was well-received by exhibitors and visitors alike.
“MEDICAL FAIR INDIA 2019 proved to be a great platform for businessdevelopment. The rehaindia concept is innovative and increases theattractiveness of the event,” says Biju Sebastian Alex, Senior Manager forSales & Marketing at the internationally active group DeVilbiss Healthcare(USA), positively summing up the event.

/2CU Medical Systems (South Korea) were also on the lookout for new
business partners, according to Sales Manager Jonathan Barkai. “We see
great opportunities in the Indian medical device market and that is why
taking part in this trade fair was important to us with regard to our growthplans.”

The YTY Group (Malaysia) comes from a similar starting point, as Bhaskar
Mukherjee, Vice President for India, states: “As the industry leader for
disposable hand protection solutions and an OEM provider for leading
global brands, MEDICAL FAIR INDIA proved to be an effective platform for
us which enabled us to meet national distribution partners and gain anunderstanding of the possibilities and complexity of one of the largest
emerging markets.”
Once again, the event’s supporting program contributed to the success ofMEDICAL FAIR INDIA 2019. Here, we find established elements such as
the CLIN LAB INDIA, organised in cooperation with Scherago (USA) andHealth Care Events (India), a conference with an exhibitor area on trending
topics in laboratory medicine as well as the two-day conference Voice ofHealthcare. Here, the popular sessions looked at current technology trends
and aspects of international cooperation with manufacturers and institutions,among other topics.
