Mumbai, Apr 07: The 19th edition of HGH India, the country’s well-established annual trade show for home textiles, home décor, home furniture, houseware, and gifts, is set to unfold in Mumbai from June 30 to July 3, 2026, at the Bombay Exhibition Center (BEC). Over eighteen editions, HGH India has built its reputation as a forward-looking platform for the home products industry, facilitating not just sourcing but sector-wide dialogue, design discovery, and business evolution. With every edition, it reinforces its role as a knowledge-led meeting ground that responds to and helps shape the future of the home business in India.
The 19th edition advances this with a clear three-pillar focus: Contemporary, Futuristic, and Sustainable. As India’s consumers increasingly prioritise design, function, and responsibility in equal measure, the show brings together the people and products driving those shifts under one roof.
HGH India’s upcoming edition will once again bring together Indian and international brands, manufacturers, importers distributors, retailers, architects, interior designers and institutional buyers together to explore new connections, assess innovations and transact business. The last edition of HGH India hosted over 700 brands and manufactures from 32 countries over 43,000 serious trade visitors from 710 Indian cities and towns, which are expected to increase further in this edition. HGH India will reflect the upgrading of Indian homes and the growing spending capacity of Indian consumers, with growth averaging 15% per annum.
Organised by Texzone, with over 40 years of experience in market development, knowledge sharing, trend forecasting, retail engagement, and product intelligence across textiles, fashion, home and lifestyle sectors, HGH India plays an active role in shaping the industry’s direction.
Mr. Arun Roongta, Managing Director, Texzone Information Services, said, “Over 18 editions, we have watched the Indian home market go through cycles of aspiration, disruption, and reinvention. What is different now is the scale and the geography of the shift. The consumer driving growth today is not in Mumbai or Delhi. They are in 700 cities and towns across the country, upgrading their homes with the same intent and the same discernment as any metro buyer. HGH India 2026 is built around that reality. The products on this floor, the conversations in our knowledge sessions, and the connections made across our pavilions are all designed for the industry that is serving this India.”
What to expect at the 19th HGH India
PreSense: Trend Forecast 2026-27

From IoT-enabled appliances and AI-powered voice assistants to space-saving cookware, time saving kitchen appliance innovations, retailers and distributors get direct access to the product intelligence shaping India’s kitchen living.
Technical Textiles: Performance as the new standard
Indian consumers are now opting for safer and better functional homes, willing to spend for these features in their home textiles purchase, going beyond aesthetics. HGH India will showcase Technical Textiles for Indian homes- from flame-retardant furnishings and blackout curtains to skin-nourishing bed sheets and washable rugs. The Technical Textiles hall puts the trade in front of a category expected to reach USD 50 billion by 2028.
Home Furniture: Design-led, function-first
Urbanisation, smaller homes, and the normalisation of home-office setups are reshaping furniture demand. The Home Furniture Hall showcases innovations across living, bedroom, kitchen, study, kids’ and outdoor furniture, spanning modern, traditional, and accent categories from Indian and international brands.
Indian Heritage: Craft in a contemporary market
The Indian Heritage Pavilion consistently connects artisans, national awardees, and handloom and handicraft producers with retailers and institutional buyers. This initiative by HGH India is supported by Development Commissioner Handicrafts, Development Commissioner, Handloom, Ministry of Textiles, Government of India and other government bodies. Live craft demonstrations enable the visitors to understand fine skills and crafts in making these products, while creating market opportunities for the craftspersons and weavers.
Kids’ Home: A fast-growing category finds its platform
With demand for baby and children’s home products growing at 20% per annum, this segment provides brands and manufacturers with a direct line to large-format stores, online retailers, speciality home retailers, and distributors seeking to tap a category expanding well across all retail formats-online and offline.
