IFSEC India 2025 prepares for India’s next tech phase

Informa Markets in India will host the 18th edition of IFSEC India 2025, positioned as South Asia’s largest commercial security expo and conference. The event is scheduled for 11–13 December 2025 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, under the theme “Shaping Nations, Securing Futures”, highlighting its focus on preparedness and the adoption of next-generation security technologies across critical infrastructure, corporate environments and public spaces.

Expanding market signals a strong opportunity

India’s electronic security market is projected as a Rs 1 lakh crore opportunity, growing at 14–18% annually. The expansion is driven by rapid urbanisation, digital transformation and rising security awareness across sectors.
IFSEC India, already established as a key platform for industry collaboration, aims to support participants in navigating this growth through market intelligence, high-value networking and strategic buyer-supplier engagement.

The 2025 edition will feature 150+ exhibitors, 350+ brands and more than 16,000 visitors, marking a rise from the previous edition’s 14,000 visitors and 116 exhibitors. Organisers expect the wider participation to reflect both the industry’s increasing requirements and continued confidence in the exhibition.

Global and domestic participation strengthens the ecosystem

The exhibitor list includes domestic players such as Aditya Infotech (CP Plus), Prama India, Warner Electronics (Trueview), Sparsh, Tenda and Augentix. International participants include IMQ, Taiwan Z Max, JRK Vision, Algatec and Fibre Ranger.

This mix brings coverage across the commercial security spectrum, from entry-level systems to advanced enterprise installations, catering to diverse operational needs.

Over the years, the event has enabled high-value dealmaking and business partnerships. It has become a hub for networking and market insights, helping stakeholders address demand shifts and capability gaps.

Technologies shaping the next growth wave

The exhibition will spotlight advances in AI-driven video analytics, deep learning systems, drones and UAVs, perimeter protection solutions, cybersecurity frameworks, IoT-enabled surveillance, and industrial automation.
A strong focus will also fall on indigenous manufacturing aligned with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.

AI, IoT, Cloud computing and ML are highlighted as potentially disruptive forces that are transforming security workflows. Deep learning capabilities for face recognition, behavioural analysis and image classification continue to enhance surveillance and real-time intelligence extraction. These systems support vehicle detection, crowd management and predictive threat assessment, improving situational awareness across sectors.

The conference will also examine developments around quality standards, including discussions on STQC requirements. Stakeholders view certification as a mechanism to strengthen product quality and trust, supporting India’s ambition to become a manufacturing hub for security solutions.
