Chairman
Export International Promotion-AIPMA

Friends,

This is exactly what AIPMA has always stood for - leadership, innovation, and relentless service to the Indian plastics industry. For nearly eight decades, AIPMA has been the cornerstone of progress for MSMEs across India. And now, with the dedicated efforts of our AIPMA Export Team, led with passion and precision, we are proud to unveil yet another milestone - the Country-wise Export Data Book, covering 21 key international markets.

This Export Book is more than a publication - it's a strategic step to equip Indian exporters with insights and open new global opportunities.

While the global plastic trade stands at USD 1,300 billion, India contributes just 1.1%. AIPMA is committed to changing this by unlocking untapped export potential.

To support this mission, AIPMA has set up a dedicated Export Cell focused on promoting finished plastic product exports. The book offers researched insights into product demand and market trends across 21 countries - serving as both a guide and a growth enabler.

India is emerging as a trusted global sourcing partner. As part of this, we have undertaken the initiative of facilitating the participation of Indian Exporters of Finished Goods in a few of these 21 countries, providing them with an opportunity to test the market. Additionally, we are making arrangements for delegates, including travel and stay during the Show participation. A couple of the scheduled exhibition participations include ASD Market Week – Source Direct at the Las Vegas Convention Centre from 3rd – 6th August 2025, and the 35th International Industrial Household Expo at Crocus Expo Centre, Moscow from 9th – 11th September 2025.

Whether by exhibiting or joining trade delegations, Indian manufacturers have growing opportunities - and AIPMA is here to support every step.

Aligned with the Government's 'Make in India – Make for the World' vision, AIPMA is actively handholding MSMEs to connect directly with international buyers and expand globally.

Our aim: 4X export growth in the next 3 years through strategic engagement and industry empowerment.

Now in its 79th year, AIPMA continues to drive progress. With initiatives like PLASTIWORLD - a dedicated exhibition for plastic exports - we are positioning India at the Centre of Global Trade.

This Export Book is a declaration of intent and a roadmap to success. Let us move forward together to make 'Made in India' plastics a global benchmark.
