Combining the comfort of automation, customisation, intelligence and energy efficiency, the lighting industry is erupting with various innovations. Organized by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India, LED Expo Mumbai is India’s only dedicated platform covering everything light. With 200+ exhibitors featuring about 6,000+ products, the upcoming edition of LED Expo Mumbai will be held from 3 – 5 April 2025 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, organised by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India.

LED Expo Mumbai will present a unique amalgamation of LED lighting solutions that serves the lighting industry a​nd delves deep into relatively new concepts such as smart lights, LEDs for design and décor, LEDs for atmospheric lighting and wellness, and problem-solving innovations such as biomimicry in lighting applications. The upcoming edition has registered growth from the electrical segment with 20+ exhibitors.

Crucial industry highlights surfaced from an exhibitor survey conducted with those participating in the upcoming edition, highlighted the following:

• Architectural projects and commercial buildings have shown a greater adoption of smart lighting and automation products. However, the story changes in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, where the adoption of such products is at a slower pace. Common hindrances like supply chain, power outages, etc., are challenging large-scale adoption.
• Exhibitors also pointed out that many components are sourced internationally.
• To make the LED lighting industry self-reliant, government schemes are encouraging the localisation of components and high-quality production of LED products. India’s LED lighting industry is growing steadily with key initiatives like the Smart Cities Mission and the growing demand for housing in India.
• It is also active in installing solar-based LED lights under the rural electrification programme, especially in the northeast.

​​Expressing his thoughts, Raj Manek, Executive Director of Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings Ltd, stated: “The Indian infrastructure landscape has witnessed remarkable growth, opening new avenues for the LED lighting industry. Beyond illumination, LED technology is revolutionising with applications such as beautification projects, indoor and outdoor decoration, wellness, street lighting and public places lighting, amongst many others. LED lights – apart from being energy efficient are becoming more brighter, keeping down the energy consumption. I am happy to share that the LED and the lighting industry will once again unite at LED Expo Mumbai 2025 to present the innovations for the future towards which India is advancing. Over the years, we have also observed a significant rise in participation from the electrical segment, further strengthening the ecosystem.”

During the show, curated knowledge sessions will bring industry experts on the dais to share insights from their experience in the segment.
