From April 3rd to 5th, 2025, the LED Expo Mumbai, an international LED lighting exhibition, was successfully held at the Mumbai Convention and Exhibition Centre. As the largest LED exhibition covering the entire industry chain in India, this event attracted more than 220 exhibitors from around the world and over 12,000 professional visitors. Yunfang Tin Industry showcased a variety of tin-based materials and intelligent devices suitable for the Indian market at the exhibition. Through practical technology demonstrations, it reached multiple cooperation intentions with local enterprises, further consolidating its layout in the South Asian market.
I. Exhibition Background: The Rise and Challenges of the Indian LED Market
The Indian LED lighting market has shown explosive growth in recent years, with an expected annual growth rate of 41.5%. The government plans to comprehensively replace traditional lighting systems with LEDs to address energy shortages and environmental protection needs. However, there is a shortage of supporting industries in the local industrial chain in India, and 80% of LED products rely on imports, with China being the main supplier.

The Industry Value of LED Expo Mumbai
Authoritative Platform: Organized by Messe Frankfurt, it covers the entire industry chain of LED chips, packaging, lighting equipment, and intelligent technologies, and is the core exhibition in South Asia for connecting with the global supply chain.
Market Barometer: The 2025 exhibition focused on “Smart Lighting” and “Green Manufacturing”, attracting participation from Indian local builders, electronics manufacturers, and international brands. The number of exhibitors increased by 10% compared to the previous session.
II. Highlights of Yunfang Tin Industry’s Participation: Technology Adaptation and Cost Optimization
- Solutions of Environmentally Friendly Tin-based Materials
In response to the Indian market’s demand for cost-effective products, Yunfang Tin Industry launched lead-free low-temperature solder paste, which reduces energy consumption by 15% compared to traditional materials and has passed the Indian BIS certification, meeting the environmental protection and compliance requirements of small and medium-sized electronics manufacturers. On-site, an agreement was reached with a local home appliance enterprise in Mumbai to provide customized anti-oxidation solder wire for its production line, which is expected to reduce the equipment failure rate by 8%. - Technical Support for Semiconductor Packaging
The Indian government is promoting the localization of chip manufacturing. The 0.3mm high-precision tin balls showcased by Yunfang Tin Industry have been applied in the PCB production lines of leading mobile phone brands, with the yield rate increased to 99.2%, attracting several semiconductor packaging enterprises to discuss cooperation. - Pilot Cooperation of Intelligent Devices
In response to the automation upgrade needs of Indian factories, Yunfang Tin Industry signed agreements with three local enterprises to test its self-developed semi-automatic solder paste printing machine, aiming to help customers reduce labor costs by 20%.
III. Indian Market Strategy: In-depth Localization and Policy Dividends
- Driven by Policy Dividends
The National Electronics Policy of India provides a 15% tax exemption for local production. The New Delhi factory of Yunfang Tin Industry has obtained the “Make in India” certification, and the local procurement rate of raw materials reaches 60%, significantly reducing the supply chain cost. - Focus on Niche Areas
Smart Home and Automotive Electronics: The demand for automotive electronics in southern India increases by 25% annually. Yunfang Tin Industry plans to collaborate with the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore to develop high-temperature resistant tin-based materials suitable for the harsh environment of automotive electronics.
Public Lighting Projects: The government of Maharashtra is promoting solar LED streetlights. Yunfang Tin Industry provides supporting welding solutions to help municipal projects reduce costs and increase efficiency.
3. Upgrade of Customer Service
In response to the price sensitivity of the Indian market, Yunfang Tin Industry has launched free sample testing and technical training services to increase customers’ acceptance of high-value-added products.
