drinktec India & Pack Mach Asia Expo take place from 13-15 November 2025 at the Bombay Exhibition Center (BEC), Mumbai.

If you want to discover where the drinks and packs segment is headed over the next decade, mark three days in your diary for drinktec India and PackMach Asia Expo. Co-located yet distinct, these trade fairs have become a meeting point for decision-makers in the beverage-to-packaging value chain—from brewmasters and dairy technologists to FMCG, pharma and cosmetics giants.

Last year’s edition featured 18,000 square meters of exhibition space with more than 300 exhibitors, and 14,756 professional visitors from over 30 countries. On the floor, over 3,000 future-ready solutions were on show, spanning high-speed bottling, robotic filling lines, recyclable materials and advanced end-of-line packaging.

What impressed attendees in 2024 was the energy in the aisles: live trials of filling & filtration station, craft brewers trading recipes in the place2beer pavilion, and 500+ buyer–seller meetings that turned conversations into contracts.

What matters in 2025

Technology you can touch: Watch full production lines running—smart bottling for carbonated drinks and integrated pouching for snacks. For those looking to upgrade a plant or design a new facility, this is a one-stop reference gallery.

Tailored business matchmaking: MMI match to pre-schedule and arrange customised business matching meetings.

Market intelligence—minus the theory: Curated industry information sessions focusing on practically applicable and workable solutions.

Cross-pollination at scale: Because drinktec India runs alongside PackMach Asia Expo, visitors can see the entire journey—raw ingredient, process, pack, pallet—in one loop.

What’s on the floor

Inside 25,000 square meters of future-proof tech, visitors will walk through categories such as Processing & Filling; Smart & Sustainable Packaging; Automation & Digital Manufacturing; Labelling & Traceability; Ingredients & Sensory’ Caps & Closure and Pet Preforms’ Water Treatment & Filtration Systems; Testing & Measurement; Compressor & Refrigeration equipment; and Flexible & Aseptic Packaging.

Together, they are showcasing more than 4,000 products spanning beverage, liquid food, dairy, FMCG, pharma and cosmetics.

There are 14,756 visitors from over 30 countries in 2024 with 1500 buyer-seller meetings scheduled.

Global stage with local pulse

For a sector under pressure to decarbonise while delivering convenience, that mix of global know-how and local ingenuity can be worthwhile.
