Illicit trade and counterfeiting continue to challenge South Asia’s economic integrity and consumer safety. Across industries — from pharmaceuticals and FMCG to automotive parts and luxury goods — these illicit activities result in severe revenue losses for governments, erode brand trust, and expose consumers to unsafe and unregulated products.

​

The ASIA Security Conference & Exhibition provides a premier regional platform that unites brand owners, customs and enforcement agencies, regulators, policymakers, and technology solution providers to develop strategic approaches against counterfeiting, smuggling, online infringement, and cross-border illicit trade.

Following the successful editions in New Delhi (2025) and (2024), the 2026 conference will move to Mumbai, India, one of Asia’s most dynamic commercial and enforcement hubs. Building on India’s growing leadership in brand protection and IP enforcement, this edition will spotlight the nation’s pivotal role in advancing regional cooperation and technological innovation.

​

Under the theme “Strengthening Enforcement, Empowering Innovation: India’s Next Chapter in Brand Protection,” the 2026 edition will emphasize the intersection of policy reform, digital transformation, and cross-sector collaboration in curbing illicit trade and protecting legitimate commerce.

​

The two-day conference will bring together over 300 international and regional experts, offering participants:

• High-level discussions and strategic dialogues on enforcement coordination, policy harmonization, and supply chain security.

• Case studies and country-specific spotlights showcasing successful enforcement operations and brand collaboration models.

• An interactive exhibition featuring the latest brand protection, authentication, and digital tracking technologies.

• Networking sessions and partnership forums fostering joint initiatives between public and private stakeholders.

With Mumbai’s reputation as India’s commercial capital and innovation hub, the ASIA Security Conference & Exhibition 2026 will serve as a critical convergence point for driving collective action, inspiring policy change, and shaping the future of brand protection across South Asia.
