The industry is worth over $ 917 billion (in 2019), growing at a CAGR of 2.8% to reach $ 1.05 trillion by 2024. According to the Packaging Industry Association of India (PIAI), the sector is growing at 22% to 25% per annum.

Instead, companies need to pursue a transformational approach, adapting and rethinking multiple aspects of the entire product and packaging lifecycle. Therefore, the 5th Annual Packaging Quality and Innovations India Summit 2023 will address these challenges and share perspectives, new development, ongoing trends, and a road ahead.
