Messe Stuttgart India has announced its strategic acquisition of the Cable & Wire Fair, India’s leading trade fair for the wire and cable industry.
Taking place every two years, the industry trade show will be opening its doors once again 9-11 December 2027 in Delhi. The new investment represents another step by Messe Stuttgart India to strengthen its position in India.
The Cable & Wire Fair has taken place six times, the most recent edition being held in 2025. It saw 424 exhibitors, among them 89 international companies from 24 countries, with more than 16,000 trade visitors attending.
The Cable & Wire Fair was founded by Priyank Jain from Tulip 3P Media and it emerged from trade journal Wire & Cable India magazine, which is now also part of the Messe Stuttgart India portfolio.
Priyank Jain will remain involved with the Cable & Wire Fair and the associated magazine in his role as founding director.
Roland Bleinroth, president of Messe Stuttgart, commented on the acquisition: “We consider India to be one of the most dynamic and strategically important markets in the world. The acquisition of Cable & Wire Fair and Wire & Cable India magazine underscores our commitment to invest in sectors that are not only achieving rapid growth but are crucial for the future of global manufacturing and infrastructure. Thanks to our international expertise and global network, we see great potential in further strengthening this platform as the central meeting point for the international wire and cable industry.”
Gaurav Sood, CEO of Messe Stuttgart India, added: “The Cable & Wire Fair has already established itself as an impressive industry platform with great credibility and dynamic. On this basis, it is our vision to incorporate the global standards of Messe Stuttgart for superb trade fair events and stronger international participation.”
The acquisition has taken place during a phase of strong growth for the Indian wire and cable industry. The market is expected to increase from US$21.22bn in 2025 to $23.13bn in 2026 and to reach $35.58bn in 2031 – with an average annual growth rate of over 9%. This development is being driven by a rising demand for housing, ambitious expansion goals in the area of renewable energies, as well as rapid progress in telecommunications infrastructure.
