Why This Event is Important

 
As India's financial capital, Mumbai also stands as one of the nation's biggest hubs for F&B innovation and consumption. In 2024, the food service market was worth over 55,000 crore, making Mumbai a prime location for introducing new food technologies, international cuisines, and export-ready innovations. SIAL’s Mumbai edition is significant because it connects India’s agri-export potential with global demand. The focus will be on processed foods, beverages, health foods, and packaging solutions—all key growth areas in India’s evolving food economy.
