India positioned as one of DNP’s strategic hubs to accelerate Asian and African Market Development
Tokyo, February 4, 2025, Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP) has established two new subsidiaries in New Delhi, India, aiming to strengthen its business base in the rapidly growing Indian market. The two new companies are, DNP CORPORATION INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED, responsible for marketing and business development, and DNP IMAGINGCOMM INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED, responsible for photo-related businesses. Both companies will commence business operations on March 1, 2026.
By positioning India among our strategic hubs for Asian and African operations, DNP will promote new business development and the expansion of its photo-related businesses through these two newly established companies.

Background
India currently has a population exceeding 1.45 billion, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects that the country will maintain a real GDP growth rate of approximately 6% in 2026. Against the backdrop of rising income levels and the expansion of the middle class, markets are growing not only in industrial sectors where DNP has strong capabilities, such as automotive, semiconductors, medical and healthcare, building materials, and packaging, but also in consumer and service sectors, including the wedding industry, tourism, and entertainment.
Recognizing the strong growth potential of this market, DNP established an India representative office in 2014, through which it has conducted market research and business exploration activities. In recent years, however, the need has increased for more in-depth business development responses and for a strategic base that facilitates business expansion with a view toward the broader Asia–Africa market.
Our photo-related businesses, including dye-sublimation thermal transfer media for photo prints, in which we maintain a leading global market share, have seen increasing demand driven by the Indian market and rising demand for event-related photo printing. We are strengthening our local sales and service capabilities to capture growing opportunities.
Given this environment, we have positioned India as one of our strategic hubs for our overall Asian and African businesses and has taken the step to establish two new local subsidiaries
