The 19th edition of HGH India, one of the country’s leading trade shows for home textiles, home décor, furniture, houseware and gifts, will be held from June 30 to July 3, 2026, at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC), Mumbai. The four-day exhibition will spotlight the future of India’s home and lifestyle sector under the central themes of Contemporary, Futuristic and Sustainable.
Platform for India’s Expanding Home Market
Over the past 18 editions, HGH India has established itself as a key business platform connecting manufacturers, brands, retailers, architects, interior designers, distributors, importers and institutional buyers. Beyond product sourcing, the exhibition has evolved into a knowledge-sharing forum that tracks changing consumer preferences, design trends and market opportunities.
The previous edition attracted over 700 brands and manufacturers from 32 countries and welcomed more than 43,000 trade visitors from 710 Indian cities and towns. Organisers expect participation to increase further in 2026 as India’s home products market continues to expand at an average annual growth rate of 15%.
Organised by Texzone, HGH India leverages over four decades of expertise in market development, trend forecasting, retail engagement and product intelligence across the textile, fashion and home sectors.
