The Italian Automatic Packaging Machinery
Association Ucima has chosen the two processing and packaging trade fairs
PacProcess Teheran (Teheran, 11-14 October) and PacProcess India (Mumbai 24-26
October) as the next events for promotion of the Italian packaging industry and
its cutting-edge technology.
Iran and India are two strategic markets
that are showing strong interest in Italian technology due to its high degree
of customization and innovative characteristics in terms of automation,
sustainability, predictive maintenance and robotics.
In 2017, Iran imported a total of €210.7 million of
packaging machinery, an increase of 14.2% on the previous year. Italy was the
country’s second largest trading partner after Germany with sales of €60.3 million (up
16.3% in 2016) and a 29% share of the total. For the three-year period
2018-2020 the Ucima Research Department is forecasting annual average market
growth of 1.7% and a 5.2% increase in Italian exports.
In 2017 India imported a total of €427.8 million of
packaging technology (down 3.1% in 2016), a contraction caused by the growth of
local machinery manufacturers which hold a 60% share of the domestic market.
Italy is the country’s second most important trading partner with exports worth
more than €100 million (-3.9%, in line with the market as a whole) and a 23.8%
share of total imports. For the three-year period 2018-2020, the Ucima Research
Department is forecasting annual average market growth of 6.9% and a 4.5%
upturn in Italian exports.
The Italian participation in PacProcess Teheran
and PacProcess India is part of the partnership agreement signed in 2017
between Ucima, Ipack-Ima and Messe Düsseldorf.
Under the terms of the agreement, the
organizations provide mutual support with each other’s trade fairs and Ucima
offers its assistance for international events organized by the German trade
fair management company as part of Interpack Alliance. The aim of the
partnership is to create a reference network for companies operating in the
processing and packaging industry in a number of key markets for Italian
technologies.
