With 142 exhibitors from twelve countries and approximately 3000 guests, analytica Anacon India is continuing its success story (2006: 130 exhibitors and 2,592 visitors). When it has opened its gates at its new location in the Hitex Exhibition Center in Hyderabad on October 31, visitors have found innovations as well as several new products and systems that will meet the needs of the Indian market. Leading international manufacturers in the laboratory-technology sector such as Agilent Technologies, analysis Jena, Dionex, Eppendorf, Merck, Mettler Toledo, Millipore, Netzsch, Perkin Elmer, Shimadzu, Sigma Aldrich, Thermo, Waters and Varian have introduced themselves and presented their products and solutions at the new trade-fair center in Hyderabad, which meets western quality standards.

Along with China, India is one of the most important growth markets for analysis, laboratory technology and biotechnology in Asia. Increasing industrialization and India's export-oriented economy combined with enormous expansion of its research and development activities, especially in the sectors for pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and the life sciences, are resulting in increased demand for modern solutions and analysis equipment. According to the US Commercial Services, the Indian market for laboratory equipment was worth an estimated 843 million US dollars last year, imports accounting for more than half of that volume.

analytica Anacon India is the exhibition that covers this attractive, rapidly growing Indian market for analysis, biotechnology, laboratory technology and services. As a "spin-off" of the leading international trade fair analytica in Munich, it brings the supply side of the market, i.e. the industry's leading national and international manufacturers, together with demand, i.e. decision-makers in India's industrial and scientific laboratories.

The range of exhibits at analytica Anacon India is broken down into categories for instrumental analysis, measuring and testing equipment and quality control, laboratory technology, biotechnology and diagnostics. analytica Anacon India is also a trade show that showcases the international industry: 142 exhibitors were taking part at this year's fair, and approximately half are globally active companies and/or non-Indian manufacturers. The next analytica Anacon India will take place from September 29 - October 1, 2009 in Hyderabad.
