INDIAWOOD 2026 is set to return to the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) from February 26 to March 2, positioning Bengaluru once again as a global hub for the woodworking and furniture manufacturing industry. Organised by NürnbergMesse India and supported by EUMABOIS, the 26th edition will be the largest in the event’s history. The biennial exhibition will host over 1,000 brands from more than 50 countries, attract upwards of 90,000 industry professionals, and cover 85,000 square metres of exhibition space—registering a 15 per cent increase over the previous edition. The scale of participation reflects growing global confidence in India’s manufacturing capabilities and aligns with the country’s Viksit Bharat vision focused on advanced manufacturing and exports.
Managing Director of NürnbergMesse India, Sonia Prashar, said the event highlights India’s rising stature as a trusted manufacturing destination and a key link in global supply chains.
The upcoming India–EU Free Trade Agreement, described by policymakers as the “mother of all deals”, is expected to further boost the sector by easing tariffs, expanding access to European markets, and enabling smoother inflows of advanced machinery.
INDIAWOOD 2026 will showcase automation-led manufacturing, Industry 4.0 solutions, sustainable materials, and skill development initiatives, alongside the co-located India Mattresstech & Upholstery Supplies Expo, strengthening the industry’s integrated ecosystem.
