India Health Exhibition 2025 Proves India Is Ready To Heal With Tech

The India Health Exhibition 2025, held July 11–13 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, opened its doors to more than 300 exhibitors and over 8,000 healthcare professionals from across the globe. Hosted by Informa Markets and modeled on Arab Health, the three-day event featured parallel conferences like Global MedTech Connect and Healthcare 360°, offering a hub for innovation, collaboration, and investment in India’s dynamic healthcare ecosystem.

MedTech Innovation at Center Stage

India’s medtech sector is surging, projected to grow from around $11 billion in 2019 to $50 billion by 2025 at a projected 28 percent CAGR. The exhibition’s Global MedTech Connect sessions dove into regulatory standards, quality controls, cybersecurity, and AI in diagnostics. Among the announcements was the forthcoming Medical Technology University at AMTZ in Visakhapatnam, aiming to bolster R&D and skills locally.

HealthTech and Digital Healthcare Talks

The Healthcare 360° track focused on digital diagnostics, telemedicine, paperless hospitals, and integration under India’s Digital Health Mission. Session highlights included sustainable healthcare models, pandemic preparedness, and rapid adoption of AI technologies.

Startups, Pavilions, and Matchmaking

True to its inclusive agenda, India Health 2025 hosted a Startup Pavilion and a B2B matchmaking app to connect innovators with buyers and regulators. International delegations from Italy, UAE, and Ethiopia joined domestic brands like Marengo Hospitals and Midmark. Themed spaces included Global Med‑Tech, Lab Diagnostics, and Pharma & Wellness.

Policy Push and Market Momentum

India’s healthcare ambitions are backed by government action. A recent report from INC42 predicted the sector would grow to $638 billion by 2025, with medical tourism alone expected to hit $16.21 billion by 2030. Additionally, recruitment in healthtech roles is set to expand by 15–20% through 2025–26.
