"International Trade Fair for Furniture Production Technologies, Woodworking Machinery, Tools, Fittings, Accessories, Raw Materials and Products"
INDIAWOOD 2022 held between 2nd-6th June, witnessed a stupendous response from the industry, surpassing previous visitor numbers, gaining favourable reviews from the exhibitors and emerging as the most important congregation point for the entire woodworking and furniture manufacturing Industry.
Mr. Juergen Koeppel, President, EUMABOIS (European Federation of Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers) said, “The Indian furniture sector is growing rapidly and represents one of the main sectors of the country’s economy. According to latest statistics, India ranks 6th among the largest furniture manufacturers on global level and it is the 4th largest furniture consumer. Moreover, projections for furniture consumption are expected to show a growth by 5% in 2022 and by 4% in 2023. Considering these facts, it is only natural that more and more foreign companies and investors start up their furniture production in India. Same applies for other wood-based products, too”.
INDIAWOOD 2022 spread over 64,000 SqMs hosted over 850+ exhibitors from 50 countries and hosted 5 dedicated country pavilions. The event was supported by leading Industry associations and trade bodies, with various knowledge and skilling sessions, thus creating a platform which was all-encompassing and relevant for the industry.
Sonia Prashar, Managing Director, NuernbergMesse India while speaking on the occasion said, “The Woodworking and Furniture Manufacturing Industry is gearing up for fully integrated production and a fully integrated future. The future will be defined by integrated process flows encompassing production planning, product design to manufacturing, distribution and sales. Automation and digitalisation are opening up new business possibilities, customer demands are getting more individualised and moving away from standard products; modernisation and mechanisation is on the rise. At this juncture, platforms like INDIAWOOD are instrumental in complementing the growth of this industry.”
INDIA MATTRESSTECH + UPHOLSTERY SUPPLIES EXPO (IME), held concurrently to INDIAWOOD, emerged as the most important sourcing forum for the mattress manufacturing Industry. With over 100 exhibitors, the exhibition had an impressive display of latest machinery and technology.
