The imm india 2026 takes place at Yashobhoomi

24.02.2026

India’s furniture and interiors industry is entering a decisive growth phase driven by urbanisation, infrastructure expansion, premium housing, hospitality demand, and a sharp rise in global sourcing interest.

At the centre of this transformation is imm india 2026, India’s most focused and globally connected B2B exhibition for furniture, interiors, décor, surfaces, textiles, kitchens, and smart living solutions. Scheduled from 11-14 March 2026 at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, Delhi, imm india 2026 brings together a powerful exhibitor and product showcase spanning the entire furniture and interiors value chain. Buyers can source solid wood and upholstered furniture, handcrafted and contemporary collections, rugs and carpets, home décor and accessories, mattresses and comfort solutions, modular and modern kitchens, surfaces, materials, metal and wood components, artisanal crafts, and export-ready interior solutions - all under one roof, across price points and design sensibilities. 

Organised by Koelnmesse, imm india brings a globally proven B2B exhibition format to one of the world’s fastest-growing furniture markets. With India’s furniture market projected to cross USD 32 billion by 2027 and exports continuing to register double-digit growth, imm india functions as a trade-first industry platform - enabling direct sourcing, accelerating buyer-seller engagement, and supporting long-term market access for both domestic and international participants. 

Speaking on the platform’s growing relevance, Milind Dixit, managing director, Koelnmesse Pvt., said: “imm india 2026 is not just another exhibition – it is a bold statement of India’s readiness to lead the global furniture and interiors conversation. The scale of participation, quality of exhibitors, and depth of international buyer interest clearly reflect the industry’s confidence in this platform. Our vision is to create a marketplace where Indian manufacturers connect seamlessly with global demand, where design meets business, and where long-term partnerships are built.” 

Global trade momentum is significantly amplifying this growth. Alongside strengthening US–India trade relations, the recently concluded EU-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has emerged as a major catalyst for the furniture and interiors sector. The elimination of EU import duties on Indian wooden, bamboo, metal, and handcrafted furniture - earlier as high as 10.5 percent – has delivered an immediate price advantage to Indian exporters. Average tariffs have dropped from 3.8 percent to near-zero, while simplified self-certification has reduced customs timelines and sourcing friction. Together, these shifts are positioning India as a preferred sourcing base for EU and US buyers, particularly for companies pursuing a “China+1” sourcing strategy, and opening access to the USD 263.5 billion European home and lifestyle market. 

This impact is already visible. Strong international buyer interest has been confirmed from Spain, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Belgium, United States, Canada, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Singapore, Hong Kong, Romania, and other key European markets - firmly establishing imm india as a serious global sourcing destination.

To deliver on this demand, the imm india show floor is designed as a high-efficiency sourcing and networking environment, featuring The Sourcing Hub, international trend zones, curated material and product showcases, and a structured Hosted Buyer Programme that enables targeted meetings and tangible business outcomes. It is here that global buying requirements meet India’s manufacturing depth and craftsmanship capability.
