The most decisive platform for the Indian
woodworking and furniture manufacturing
industry is set to create new benchmarks
The 12th edition of INDIAWOOD (2nd - 6th June, 2022) will once again cement
its position as the most relevant and important forum for the woodworking and
furniture manufacturing Industry in India. With country pavilions from Germany,
USA, Canada, Turkey, Malaysia, Finland, Estonia, Taiwan, Gabon
amongst others, the five-day event will offer a comprehensive range of
innovative products and provide information on the latest technological
developments.
India’s furniture market is expected to cross USD 27 billion by the end of the
year 2025, making the furniture market in India a billion-dollar Industry.
Factors contributing to the growth of India’s furniture market include the
middle-class population, rising disposable income, and an increasing number of
urban households. With the recent entry of leading global players in India, the
market share of the organized sector has been growing consistently. The
industry has been increasingly adopting best practices when it comes to sourcing,
manufacturing, distribution, and skilled resources.
With India poised to become the third largest global economy by 2030, the
Government of India has identified the furniture industry as a key enabler to
expand the reach of ‘Make in India’ goods across the globe. The furniture
industry in India is a part of the home furnishing industry and occupies the
largest share (~50% in 2019) in the home furnishing market. In FY2019, the
Indian furniture market was valued at USD12.6 billion and grew at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4% during 5 years before that. Furthermore
Indian furniture exports witnessed an astounding growth rate of 222% in
2021-2022 compared to 2013-2014, thus proving the competency of “Made in
India” products in global markets. Clearly these statistics augur well for the
event.
Sivakumar Venugopal, Group Director, Member of the Management
Board, NuernbergMesse India, is confident about the future of the
woodworking and furniture manufacturing Industry, “INDIAWOOD has been
growing significantly over the last few years, in sync with the growth of the
industry and 2022 will be an important milestone for the event. The event
assumes an even enhanced significance in present times and will emerge as an
effective forum for networking, business generation and observing latest trends
and innovations. Together with our exhibitors and partners, we are confident of
delivering an event on par with international standards, as in the past years”.
Juergen Koeppel, President, EUMABOIS (European Federation of
Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers) is upbeat about the potential of the
market, he further adds, “India enjoys a favorable position as a market leader
with tremendous future possibilities. We invite the woodworking community to
make optimal use of this opportunity to re-connect with Industry Peers and
re-experience live exhibitions. Look forward to seeing you at INDIAWOOD
2022”.

and digitalization, INDIAWOOD aims to drive Indian furniture manufacturing
and woodworking industry and establish India as one of the top manufacturing
