Why Attend IRE?
- A Pivotal Event for South and Southeast Asian Rubber IndustriesEstablished in 2012 and held every three years, IRE is the largest and most influential rubber trade show in India and the broader South Asian region. The second edition in 2017 showcased 35,000 square meters of exhibit space, attracting 300 exhibitors from 20 countries and regions, nearly 30,000 professional visitors, and reaching 28 countries and territories. By 2026, the fifth edition is expected to set new records, with approximately 550 exhibitors from over 30 countries and more than 30,000 professional visitors anticipated.
- One-Stop Coverage Across the Entire Value ChainExhibits comprehensively cover all segments of the rubber industry, including raw materials, additives, machinery, tire and non-tire rubber products, reinforcing materials, recycled rubber and crumb rubber, rubber chemicals, molds, testing instruments, and more. From natural rubber to synthetic rubber, from mixing mills to vulcanizing presses, and from automotive tires to industrial tapes, upstream and downstream enterprises connect efficiently, precisely matching global procurement needs.
- A Strategic Gateway to the South Asian MarketIndia ranks as the world’s second-largest consumer of rubber and fourth-largest producer of natural rubber, with annual growth rates in the rubber industry averaging 12%. With the implementation of India’s “Production Linked Incentive Scheme” and “Green Tires” policies, Indian tire manufacturers increasingly prioritize high-performance, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly rubber machinery. Chinese rubber machinery, leveraging its technological edge, competitive pricing, and robust supply-chain integration, has become a preferred partner for Indian companies.
- Empowering Through Diverse EventsIn addition to the main exhibition, IRE hosts an International Rubber Conference, reverse buyer–seller meetings, roadshow promotions, and other parallel activities. Collaborations such as joint events with the Rubber Chemicals Merchants Association Foundation Day have drawn over a hundred industry representatives. Dedicated lounge areas throughout the venue foster business discussions, providing a premium platform for in-depth exchanges between exhibitors, technical experts, and industry leaders.
- An Opportunity to Capture Emerging Market GrowthIndia’s National Rubber Policy projects that by 2020–2021, the rubber industry’s output value will reach 2 trillion rupees (approximately US$26.8 billion), with annual tire exports targeted at 171 billion rupees. By 2025, India’s automobile sales are expected to hit 10 million vehicles, with a total vehicle fleet exceeding 100 million, creating vast opportunities in the tire replacement market. IRE offers businesses a strategic window to capture incremental growth opportunities in India and other emerging markets across South Asia.
