India Health 2026 showcases MedTech manufacturing and healthcare innovation landscape expansion

India Health 2026, organised by Informa Markets in India, recently concluded at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The third edition brought together 300+ domestic and international brands and more than 8,000 healthcare professionals, creating a comprehensive platform for healthcare providers, manufacturers, clinicians, procurement leaders, policymakers, distributors, innovators and international stakeholders to engage across the healthcare value chain. The event witnessed a 38% increase in unique visitors compared with the previous edition.

The event showcased the breadth of the healthcare sector, including medical-device manufacturing, diagnostics, medical imaging, surgical technologies, digital health, artificial intelligence, hospital infrastructure, and wellness. The exhibition connected technology providers with healthcare institutions and decision-makers, while providing opportunities to discover new solutions, explore sourcing requirements and build commercial and strategic relationships.

A defining moment of the edition was Time Medical’s unveiling of its first-ever Made-in-India CT scanner, highlighting the growing emphasis on domestic medical-device manufacturing and the development of capabilities across the value chain.

The focus was further reinforced through the Medical Manufacturing Pavilion, where companies showcased their manufacturing capabilities and innovations. With India’s medical-devices market projected to reach approximately $30 billion by 2030, the growing attention to local production and technology development comes at a significant point in the evolution of the sector.

The exhibition also showcased the convergence of healthcare and emerging technology. Exhibitors including DKS Ortho, DRGEM Healthcare, FaceEcho.AI and Hamdard presented solutions across orthopaedics, medical imaging, AI-enabled healthcare and wellness. Advanced surgical technology was also represented through the Euler Advanced Bipolar and Ultrasonic Energy Generator, listed on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM).

International engagement formed another important dimension of the exhibition. The participation of the Dubai Health Authority strengthened dialogue around healthcare collaboration between India, the UAE and the wider international community. 

While the exhibition demonstrated what is changing in healthcare today, the conference programme examined what comes next. Themed ‘Driving Innovation to Shape the Future of Clinical Care’, the conference brought together healthcare leaders, clinicians, technology experts and industry stakeholders for discussions on how innovation can translate into better clinical outcomes, more efficient delivery and wider access to care.
