WOFX - World Furniture Expo 2026

WOFX brings furniture brands and manufacturers to Mumbai to meet the people who put their products into Indian stores, online catalogs and building projects.

Dealers, distributors, importers and franchise operators sit alongside architects, interior designers and hospitality procurement teams in its buyer mix. The 2025 show attracted more than 8,300 buyers, including visitors from Canada, the UK, Italy, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Finished furniture is the common thread across home living, offices, institutional interiors, kitchens, outdoor spaces and children’s rooms. WOFX also gives the business behind those collections space on the program: retail channels, manufacturing, skills and investment. Last year’s SMARTTALK and Home & Home+ Conclave addressed those questions alongside the product displays. For a supplier building an Indian distribution network, that combination is more relevant than a show devoted mainly to production equipment.

How it compares

  1. Furniture ChinaShanghai
  2. INDEXPLUS MumbaiMumbai
  3. This show: WOFX - World Furniture ExpoMumbai

INDEXPLUS Mumbai is the closest comparison for a buyer sourcing furniture and interiors in Mumbai. Its residential and commercial furniture offer extends into kitchens, wardrobes, home decor and aesthetics. Choose it when the purchasing brief runs across a complete interior scheme, with furniture one part of a wider specification. WOFX puts furniture brands and the dealers, distributors and franchisees who carry them closer to the center of the conversation.

Furniture China changes the sourcing geography. Its Shanghai offer spans finished furniture, upholstery, mattresses and outdoor ranges alongside materials and hardware. It suits importers comparing manufacturing suppliers and product ranges across the Chinese furniture industry. WOFX is more directly relevant when the next commercial step is finding Indian retail channels, project customers or partners for a brand entering India.

WOFX’s international participation makes it useful for overseas suppliers approaching India and buyers interested in Indian furniture. The distinction is the route to market: distribution, retail and institutional sourcing feature prominently in its audience, while its design and investment forums add a reason for industry leaders to spend time away from the stands.

WOFX suits furniture brands building Indian dealer networks and buyers sourcing finished furniture for retail, hospitality and institutional projects.

Who exhibits

Urban Living’s repeated participation and U&M Design’s lifestyle display illustrate a show built around finished collections and how they fit into rooms. The wider profile reaches from home furniture to office seating, institutional products, kitchens and outdoor ranges, with carpets and decor alongside them. That mix gives dealers and project buyers a reason to compare several kinds of supplier in one visit, while the design component brings architects into the same conversation as retail and distribution teams.

WOFX - World Furniture Expo 2026

WOFX 2026 combines its furniture categories with named zones for established collections, innovation, Indian states and ASEAN suppliers. Smart Talk, Business Pulse, F+D Awards and FIRM appear in the published program. The buyer registration process also includes sourcing requirements for scheduled meetings, with lounge access linked to business profile. The emphasis is on connecting furniture collections with the channels and project teams that can buy them.

  • Use the WOFX sourcing-requirements form to request scheduled meetings with exhibitors; it is separate from simply choosing a visitor business profile.
  • Choose the business profile that matches your buying role at registration, since it determines which Buyers Lounge your badge gives access to.
