The Indian Materials Industry is likely to go through truly exciting times, with the Indian economy expected to grow in spite of the global economic downturn. Since India is emerging to be a global hub for manufacturing, it is becoming imperative to adopt new products, technologies and better manufacturing practices.

As business environment is becoming more and more competitive the industry demands innovative and continuously improved products. It becomes necessary for the industry to offer highly differentiated products. The performance plastics segment is also facing a similar scenario wherein better and better performing polymers are regularly being offered which can meet the highly demanding needs of the final end-users. Most of these polymers are offering tremendous value in the Automotive, Appliances, Electrical & Electronics, Healthcare and Energy (Nuclear, Wind and Solar) segment.

The idea of the summit is to bring together the players across the entire value chain from the polymer suppliers to processors / moulders to end users in order to discuss the key issues, new developments and processing requirements in the specialty polymers industry. The summit will be an ideal culmination point for multinationals to showcase new developments, local players to understand the specialty polymers and end users to look at new and better products.
