Noel Dcunha · Managing Editor · PrintWeek India · PrintPack India 2025

At Printpack India 2025, Wayne Beckett from Inkish spoke with Noel Dcunha, Managing Editor of PrintWeek India, about the exhibition’s rapid growth and the evolving print and packaging market in India. With the addition of new halls and a significant rise in exhibitors, Printpack India is on a trajectory to expand even further. Projections for 2027 aim to exceed 100,000 square meters of space. Noel Dcunha highlights the booming packaging sector, sharing insights from industry professionals who report substantial business growth. The show has seen an influx of visitors, with estimates reaching 140,000 to 150,000 attendees. PrintWeek India has been actively covering the event, publishing two daily e-bulletins featuring installation updates and industry trends. As the only remaining PrintWeek publication under Haymarket, PrintWeek India continues to thrive due to the strength of the Indian market. The magazine has embraced digital transformation, expanding its reach through online platforms, webinars, podcasts, and the prestigious PrintWeek India Awards, where print samples are judged by industry buyers rather than printers. With a circulation of 13,000 print copies and an online database of 45,000 industry professionals, PrintWeek India reaches 350 cities nationwide. While there are no immediate plans to expand into regional languages, the publication continues to refine its offerings to serve India’s vast print industry. Noel Dcunha acknowledges the challenges in growing circulation but remains optimistic about the future. With an estimated 220,000 serious print-related businesses in India—compared to just 16,000 in the UK—the industry is poised for further expansion. Printpack India continues to solidify its place as a global industry event. PrintWeek India remains at the forefront, documenting its growth and evolution.
