Tyrexpo India 2013 is set to act as a global trade interchange offering international companies direct access to the booming Indian tyre market, while providing Indian suppliers the chance to grow their export sales contacts and networks.

While economic growth in Europe and the US stalls, India continues to move ahead with massive investment plans in new tyre production facilities by domestic and international giants such as Apollo, BKT, JK Tyre, Govind Rubber, Michelin and Continental.

Together with the rapidly growing personal ownership of cars for a new generation of affluent citizens and a developing national roads network, these factors are fuelling the continued growth of the Indian market.

According to Tyrexpo India organiser Paul Farrant of ECI International, next July’s exhibition will encourage both inward investment and export opportunities.

“We know there is massive interest from international companies who want to get involved in supplying the Indian domestic market with everything from raw materials to tyre building technology and aftermarket tyres and service equipment.

“At the same time there are many Indian producers who want to develop their export business by meeting the international buyers and distributors who will attend the show. Tyrexpo India will be the catalyst that allows these ambitions to be realised,” predicts Mr Farrant.

ECI believe that Tyrexpo India is uniquely placed to act as a trade interchange by bringing together the international contacts and networks established from other successful tyre and equipment shows run by the company in the UK, southern Africa and south east Asia.

The first staging of Tyrexpo India exhibition in 2011 drew almost 4,000 trade buyers and delegates from India and 20 overseas countries to Chennai and Paul Farrant is confident on building on this excellent start.

“The first exhibition proved that there is a real appetite for a dedicated and professional tyre show in India. For 2013 will be building on that initial success to provide an outstanding opportunity for businesses to get close to the dynamic Indian market,” confirms Paul Farrant.

Tyrexpo India 2013 will take place at the Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai, India from 9-11 July 2013.
