The south India’s renowned pharma trade fair, Pharmac South 2017, which
will be held in Chennai Trade Centre on the 7th and 8th of July this
year, seeks to provide more than just maximum exposure and market for
south Indian pharmaceutical, neutraceutical and Ayush products, sources
informed.
The exhibition and seminars will see a confluence of
top players of Indian pharma industry and marketing leaders from foreign
countries as well as thousands of unique visitors from all over India.
Sources
from the organizing committee have reported that over one hundred
pharma and neutraceutical companies in the SME sector in southern states
have agreed to display their innovative products and latest
technologies at the trade show. The organisers hope that this year’s
Pharmac South expo will provide ample scope for domestic buyers as well
as professionals to interact with the manufacturers of south India
states.
While briefing Pharmabiz, M Rajaratinam, chairman of the
organizing committee informed that this year’s expo would help the south
Indian pharma industry to increase their production potential and
thereby to achieve markets for their products in north Indian states and
in foreign countries. According to him, the total share of
pharmaceutical production in the south Indian states of Tamil Nadu,
Puducherry and Kerala is only four percent, and it needs to be increased
to 10 percent in the near future. The start-ups and growing companies
in south India will also get opportunities for exports.
Unlike in
previous years, this time participation in the buyer-seller meet will
be given only to those who put stalls in the exhibition. Rajaratinam
said the organizing committee wants to raise the number of stalls in
order to attract more potential visitors. Special prominence is given to
Ayurveda and Siddha in the Ayush sector and companies manufacturing
traditional medicines in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka are also
invited to participate in the two days trade expo.
Commenting on
the preparations, the chairman of TN IDMA, J Jayaseelan, said the theme
of this year’s Pharmac South is, ‘Challenges & Opportunities for
Start-ups and Growing companies’. In the two days programs, eight
seminars on relevant topics focusing business developments in domestic
and international markets will be conducted along with the show.
Jayaseelan
said, “Pharmac South is the largest pharma trade show and conference in
south India. It will display good quality pharmaceutical and
neutraceutical wares and services of the local companies from six south
Indian states to attract buyers from all over the country. This year the
show will exhibit wares and product profiles of more than 100 companies
of different capacities”.
The health secretary of Tamil Nadu
government, Dr. J Radhakrishnan is the chief guest in the inaugural
