The 36th edition of INDEX PLUS, India’s premier exhibition for interiors, architecture, furniture, and design, starts from today to June 2, 2024, at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. Renowned for fostering a vibrant, collaborative environment, INDEX PLUS connects suppliers and buyers, emphasizing innovation and excellence in design.
This year’s INDEX PLUS will feature over 200 brands from both India and abroad, presenting a wide array of products designed to inspire and elevate living spaces. Attendees can explore a diverse collection of top-quality designs from leading manufacturers, all conveniently displayed under one roof. The exhibition will showcase an extensive range of products, including residential, commercial, and outdoor furniture, flooring, kitchen interiors, architectural fittings, mattresses, bedding, home décor, accessories, art, artifacts, and furnishings.
As India’s furniture market is estimated to grow from USD 17.56 billion in 2024 to USD 29.86 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 11.20%, the timing for INDEX PLUS is particularly auspicious. The Indian furniture industry is a leading global producer, consumer, and exporter. The surging demand for interior design services is driven by the booming real estate market, rising income levels, urbanization, and social media’s influence on lifestyle trends.
Sonia Prashar, Managing Director and Chairperson of the Board at NuernbergMesse India, remarked, “India is the 5th largest producer and 4th largest consumer of furniture globally. The Indian interior design market is currently thriving at a remarkable 10.3% annual growth rate, projected to reach $51.4 billion by 2028. By 2030, it will become the largest and youngest consumer market in the world. In this favorable scenario, INDEX PLUS emerges as a dynamic platform for global enterprise, presenting an unparalleled opportunity to forge new business ventures, strengthen existing ties, and engage with diverse buyers, industry leaders, and trade associations.”
