The India International Pet Trade Fair (IIPTF) is BACK! Slated to be held from 21-23 January, 2011 at the NSIC Bhawan, New Delhi, the 5th edition of the fair will harbour 150 stalls and span 7,000 sq ft.
SOUTH ASIA’S ONLY PET TRADE FAIR and INDIA’S LARGEST PET EVENT, IIPTF is an exhibition-cum-trade show dedicated to the pet vertical in India and is a quality-driven event, at par with international standards. A part B2B (business-to-business), part B2C (business-to-consumer) event, IIPTF showcases an exhaustive range of pet products and pet-pertinent services from across India and overseas.
Compared to the national Book Fair and the Auto Expo by the Times of India, the chief mission of the fair is to give a boost to the revenue of the pet industry by providing members with a platform to congregate and network, thereby generating revenue for themselves and others. It also extends a podium to B2C exhibitors comprising pet retail shop owners, to sell their merchandise and amplify their customer bases.
A fair like IIPTF is especially ideal for those that wish to network with international clients but lack the funds to participate in foreign fairs, as IIPTF offers the business environment of an international fair right here at home. Foreign exporters are increasingly perceiving India as a more viable business option over China on account of the several bouts of unrest that have been taking place there. Consequently, the wages of workers there have been hiked, forcing product rates, too, to rocket. These events have transformed India into the more tenable choice for foreign investors, both in terms of quality and economy. In years to come, India will become the favoured sourcing hub for the global export industry.
In its 5th landmark release, IIPTF is delighted to bring to pet owners and the industry, acclaimed masters of Dogdom from within the country and from foreign shores, who will share their expertise in training, grooming, breeding, pet health, etc, with those present.
In addition to showcasing products and services of the pet industry, the 5th IIPTF will feature a full-fledged garden & landscaping segment, comprising members, products and services of the garden and landscaping industry. Although, originally conceived as a trade show for the pet vertical, IIPTF has now grown a green arm in order to highlight the undeniable affiliation between pets and nature.
Over the last decade, the pet industry has witnessed remarkable changes in product trends, pet care, domestic policies on pets, as well as, veterinary and pet related cosmetic products and services, and is confidently marching forward, in terms of strength and revenue generation. With Rs 210 crore (US$44.7 mn) in its kitty and a 25 percent annual growth, the Indian pet industry holds tremendous potential for its stakeholders—domestic, as well as, international.
