Emphasizing the events’ importance for the Indian market, Christian Grosser, Director Health & Medical Technologies, Messe Düsseldorf, stated: “The medical technology market in India is growing in all segments and, depending on the study, now has an impressive volume of 14 billion dollars. As the organizer of MEDICA and Medical fair India, we have been registering a noticeable increase in interest in the Indian market among our customers for around two years. They want to tap into this market and establish themselves there in the long term. The medical technology supply industry is also increasingly coming into focus: The Indian market is becoming more and more attractive for suppliers, component manufacturers and OEMs as local production and demand for high-quality intermediate products continue to rise. This confirms the country's strategic importance as an emerging MedTEchhub and underlines the role of Medical Fair India as the central market and business development platform for the medical technology industry.”

A special highlight was the “Make in India” Pavilion, organized by the Association of Indian Medical Device Industry (AiMeD). “Medical Fair India continues to serve as a key platform for showcasing India’s medical manufacturing capabilities. This year, we’ve seen significant growth—our ‘Make in India’ Pavilion has expanded from 30 to 44 exhibitors, covering over 500 square meters, marking a 30% increase. Additionally, the number of Indian manufacturers has crossed 300, with participation from 15 countries. The show is a testament to India’s growing influence in global healthcare and our industry’s ability to deliver cutting-edge, locally-made solutions”, commented Rajiv Nath, Managing Director at Hindustan Syringes & Medical Devices Ltd, Forum Coordinator at AiMeD (Association of Indian Medical Device Industry) and Chairman of the Advisory Committee, Medical Fair India 2025.


Other special exhibits included FTR4H (Future for Health) with the live Startup Pitch Competition, attracting innovators in telemedicine, health data analytics, AI-based diagnostics, and wearable health tech as well as the Rehaindia Pavilion, presenting rehabilitation products and technologies aimed at empowering people with disabilities.

The exhibits were supported an ancillary program including three conferences (The Voice of Healthcare 9th International Conference, the 6th ClinLab Conference and the SMART Hospitals Conference) as well as the 15th MT India Healthcare Awards.

Starting in 2026, Medical Fair India will be held twice yearly: January 29 – 31, 2026 in New Delhi and September 17 – 19, 2026 in Mumbai.
