Addressing evolving market trends, Gandhi identified sustainability as the driving force for the industry. He highlighted the growing adoption of water-based inks and energy-efficient technologies such as LED curing systems. “Sustainability is not optional anymore; it’s the future. Products and technologies that reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption will define the market,” he said.

Challenges in a competitive landscape

Gandhi pointed out several challenges, including rising input costs and unhealthy competition, which force companies to lower prices despite increasing operational expenses. “This is a major hurdle for all of us in the industry,” he added.

Reflecting on the event itself, Gandhi noted significant changes compared to previous editions. “The exhibition has shrunk, with smaller stalls and reduced participation from major players. This could be due to increased costs from organizers,” he remarked.
