The launch edition of the first UTECH Indian Foam and Polyurethane Expo will take place on 4-6 December 2024, at Hall 4, NESCO, Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, India. The three-day exhibition and conference will bring together all stakeholders of the foam and polyurethane industry.

UTECH is the leading exhibition and conference series for the global polyurethanes industry. The tradeshow brand is firmly established across the world with events including UTECH Europe, PU China/UTECH Asia, UTECH Las Americas, UTECH South East Asia, and UTECH MEFPU in the Middle East (in association with Media Fusion).

The Indian Foam and Polyurethane market is growing rapidly, is expected to reach US$ 5.18 billion by 2030 and will grow at a CAGR of 8.0% between 2023-2030*. The country’s booming automotive and construction industries are among key drivers of the sector. Moreover, with increasing government investment in manufacturing across the country, and with the multi-faceted use of PU across multiple growth industries including footwear, furniture, pharma and electronics, this industry is only positioned to grow further in the coming years.

“We are delighted to announce the first edition of UTECH Indian Foam and Polyurethane Expo 2024 in response to growing market demand for an event dedicated to the raw materials, components and machinery for foam and polyurethane manufacturing,” said Matt Barber, Director, Global Trade Shows at Crain Communications. “Our recent event in the Middle East has attracted huge interest from exhibitors and visitors, and we look forward to bringing the same successful formula to India in 2024.”

“UTECH Middle East Foam and Polyurethane Expo, that was recently organised in Dubai, UAE, has proven that the demand for an event around foam and polyurethane is a need of the hour. The immense success of our recently concluded show in Dubai and the interest garnered from Indian exhibitors and visitors has demonstrated the need to bring this international platform to India,” said Taher Patrawala, Managing Director of Media Fusion. “With the market growing rapidly and large investments being made in sectors like automotive and construction in India, we believe this event is perfectly positioned to be a catalyst for growth.”

UTECH IFPU Expo will address the growing needs of the foam and polyurethane sector. It has been designed to bring together exhibitors and visitors including manufacturers, suppliers and buyers of technical foam and polyurethane materials, products, technologies & services under one roof. The concurrent conference will be a key knowledge sharing platform highlighting the innovations, best practices, challenges and opportunities open to the sector. Together, the exhibition and conference will promote the advancement of this fast-growing industry.
