International Rubber Expo - 2001
Look out for your business links at International Rubber Expo,
2001
The Indian Rubber Industry enters the new millenium with
a polymer consumption of around 900,000 tonnes. India is the 4th
largest producer of Natural Rubber. Yet due to its one billion
population with a growing middle class, the Per Capita Rubber
Consumption which is 0.8 kgms per person is slated to grow.
And grow it will that too at a rapid pace.
 The
Rubber Industry is poised to grow at over 8% to 10% in this
decade. The arrival of all Automobile majors in India is an explosive
growth in the Rubber Industry. To give an opportunity to all industry
professionals to be a part of this fast paced growth, the All
India Rubber Industries Association is organizing a 3 day Exhibition
& Seminar on the 3rd, 4th & 5th of April 2001 at
Mumbai. Mumbai being the commercial hub of India and the financial
centre & gateway, is hosting the event at Nehru Centre which
is a world class exhibition venue situated in the heart of the city.
All India Rubber Industries Association, the Organiser is the apex
organisation of the Indian Rubber Industry with a membership of
over 1000. It represents 85% of the Rubber Industry. The Association
has now completed 57 years. It is a non profit organisation promoted
to serve the Rubber Industry and provide the platform for growth.
The aim of the event is to provide all the professionals from the
Rubber Industry a platform to meet, exchange ideas and provide a
road map for the future of the Rubber Industry. Around 15 countries
are participating in the exhibition.
China has already taken up 20 stalls, at the exhibition.
They are looking at developing new markets conducting joint venture
and also looking for suppliers of raw material inputs and semi-finished
goods to China.  Slovakia,
Malaysia, are sending large contingents for participation. The
Malaysian Rubber Industries will set up pavilion at the India
Rubber Expo. Taiwan Rubber Industries Association is
sending an official delegation headed by Chairman of the
Taiwan Rubber Industries Association. This organization represents
the manufacturing sector of the Taiwanese Rubber Industry. All the
countries are aiming to develop new market, look for technical tie-ups,
with India. Today they see India as a possible investment destination.
It is significant to add here that Taiwan has large investment in
China in various industries which include Rubber.
India with a population of over 1 billion is one of the fastest
emerging market. The growth of the Rubber Industry reflects the
economic growth of the country. Today India has the largest number
of qualified personnel and trained rubber technologist providing
for a strong technical base at a very reasonable cost. In addition
India has a very strong industrial base for Railway, defense, space
research, mining etc. All these translate into tremendous potential
for the Rubber Industry.
