Technological Breakthroughs Mark Return of IFSEC India
The International Fire & Security Exhibition and Conference (IFSEC) India Expo, South Asia’s largest security, civil protection and fire safety show organized by Informa Markets in India is gearing up for its 14th edition slated to take place from December 9-11, 2021 at Pragati Maidan (Hall No 5), New Delhi.
Supported by associations such as APSA, ASIS Delhi, ASIS Bangalore, CAPSI, ESAI, ELCINA, FOCUS, GACS, IISSM, World UAV Federation India Chapter along with MitKat Advisory as knowledge partner, the show brings together internationally renowned exhibitors, consultants, business experts and key government officials under one roof.
India’s safety and security industry can be broadly classified into cyber security, electronic security, fire safety/detection/prevention, road safety, private and industrial security, and personal protective apparel and equipment. The safety and security industry in India has been consistent in recent years, and various industry segments in the domain are likely to grow between 10-15 percent annually. Increase in population, rapid urbanization, expansion of industries, vast infrastructure and mass transportation systems are driving expectations for greater safety and security measures, predominantly in critical national infrastructure projects.
Speaking on the announcement of IFSEC India’s 14th edition in New Delhi, Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, said, “We are delighted to announce IFSEC’s India return in the “in person” format in New Delhi, to cater to the security industry in the new normal. While the security market in India has grown at a CAGR of 14 percent, it is expected to be further driven by the enhanced digitization during the pandemic and requirement for security along with construction of industrial complexes, public infrastructure and residential complexes. Proactive policies and initiatives like Smart Cities and Atmanirbharta fueled by the Government of India is allowing an ecosystem where businesses can be developed more easily by granting industry status to further catalyze this growth. The contactless technology is seen as a key measure being increasingly used across industries today in the post pandemic world. IFSEC India 2021 aims to act as a catalyst for the progress and vision of this proliferating industry as it provides a stage for industry players to collaborate, ideate, innovate, spot trends, and enable the shift in India’s security paradigm from a monitoring approach to a responsive one.”
