Exhibition and Japan Pavilion Scale
"electronica India 2025" will be held September 17 (Wednesday) - 19 (Friday), 2025, daily 10:00-18:00 at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC). The 2024 event recorded 566 exhibitors from 25 countries/regions with approximately 45,532 visitors. This marks JETRO's first Japan Pavilion establishment at this exhibition, covering 143 square meters in Hall 3, featuring nine Japanese small and medium enterprises with high technological capabilities.
Strategic Importance of the Indian Market
India, gaining political and economic prominence as a core country in the Global South, promotes foreign direct investment through investment environment improvements, raising manufacturing's GDP share from 15% to 25% under the "Make in India" slogan. Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes and other manufacturing promotion policies have expanded manufacturing hub investments in electronics fields including smartphones and home appliances, with recent particular attention to semiconductor manufacturing hubs.
Industrial Structure Changes and Investment Opportunities
Recent investment expansion has brought significant industrial structure changes, with smartphones shifting from complete product import dependence to complete product assembly manufacturing hub structure. Industrial electrical equipment has changed from complete product imports to overseas parts manufacturing for complete product imports from overseas structure. Technological improvements in manufacturing suggest India's growing presence as a manufacturing hub in global supply chains.
Diverse Technical Fields of Exhibiting Companies
The Japan Pavilion features nine companies: Asahi Organic Chemicals Co., Ltd. (high-performance resin valves), CRI Middleware Co., Ltd. (video/audio development software tools), Anest Iwata Corporation (screw compressors), YITOA Microtechnology Co., Ltd. (switching power supplies), Honda Electronics Co., Ltd. (ultrasonic cleaning machines), Yamada Dobby Co., Ltd. (high-speed press equipment), Toho Steel Machine Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (CMP pad processing equipment), Nissei Technology Inc. (automotive camera lenses), and SHT Co., Ltd. (current transformers), covering broad fields from semiconductor manufacturing equipment and machinery to components and software.
The article concludes that this initiative will support Japanese companies' business opportunity acquisition and sales channel development in India, accelerating Global South market expansion in the electronics field.
