Over the past decade, the Indian economy has witnessed rapid growth within the rubber industry, culminating with an unprecedented benchmark. The Indian rubber industry now stands tall as the world’s largest producer and third largest consumer of rubber. This feat brings with it tremendous potentiality for the players in the rubber space.

Owing to the increasing rubber consumption in the Asia Pacific region, the focal country for this decade is India, resulting in a huge scope for import of machinery, technology, raw materials and export of rubber goods.

It comes as no surprise then that the seventh edition of the India Rubber Expo 2013 is returning to India’s buzzing commercial capital, Mumbai. As the largest ‘Rubber Only’ expo globally, organized by the All India Rubber Industries Association (AIRIA) and Capexil, IRE 2013 is designed to interact and create significant business relationships with the key players in the global rubber industry.
