The consumption of plastic in India has reached to 10 million for the past 65 years, and is expected to grow to another 10 million in the coming 6 to 7 years to reach the target of 20 million. Such a big growth rate attracts many international companies to enter the India market.

At this stage of India, depreciation of currency makes the prices increasing, and the currency is very unstable. Therefore, many India companies are afraid of importing machinery because of the unstable currency. The organizer tells us that this is the best time for foreign companies establishing factories in India for saving the taxes of transportation and the worry of currency.

In recently years, India starts to focus on establishing the local brands for protecting domestic brands. Furthermore, the India government has used high duty to boycott the China machinery, and this policy benefits Taiwan machinery companies also.
