8th Annual Packaging Quality & Innovations India Summit 2026
The Indian packaging industry continues to advance at a rapid pace, shaped by changing consumer behavior, expanding end-use sectors, evolving regulations, and the accelerated adoption of technology. Growth in e-commerce, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, and exports has significantly increased demand for high-performance packaging that ensures product protection, traceability, and brand differentiation across increasingly complex supply chains. At the same time, rising expectations around convenience, safety, and shelf life are pushing packaging beyond a purely protective function to become a strategic business enabler.
The Indian packaging market is expected to grow from around USD 101 billion in 2025 to nearly USD 170 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of approximately 10 - 11%. Growth is led by flexible packaging, with revenues projected to increase from around USD 21 billion to over USD 33 billion by 2030, driven by demand from FMCG, food, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce, particularly in laminates and PET-based structures. Globally, the industrial packaging market is forecast to reach approximately USD 85 - 90 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of about 3- 4%, supported by rising trade, increasing regulatory compliance, and a strong focus on sustainability-driven packaging solutions.
The 8th Annual Annual Packaging Quality & Innovations India Summit 2026 will serve as a strategic platform to address emerging challenges, share industry perspectives, explore new technologies and materials, and discuss practical pathways for sustainable and high-quality packaging adoption. The summit will bring together industry leaders, innovators, regulators, and solution providers to exchange insights, showcase best practices, and collectively shape the roadmap for packaging excellence in India.
