As India’s mattress and upholstery manufacturing sector accelerates its shift toward automation, premiumisation, and global competitiveness, India MattressTech & Upholstery Supplies Expo (IME) 2026 will take place from 26 February to 1 March 2026 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru. Organised by NürnbergMesse India, the exhibition has evolved into a focused business platform for India’s comfort manufacturing ecosystem.
The 2026 edition is expected to welcome 8,000+ business visitors, showcase 120+ leading brands, and host participation from 8+ countries, bringing together machinery manufacturers, raw material suppliers, component specialists and production decision-makers under one roof.
India’s Mattress Market on a Strong Growth Curve
Currently valued at an estimated USD 2.5 – 3 billion, India’s Mattress Market is projected to grow at 7–9% CAGR over the next five years. The organised and premium segments are expanding at an even faster pace, driven by urbanisation, real estate development, hospitality growth and rising awareness around sleep health.
Consumer demand is steadily shifting from cotton and coir products to foam, memory foam and hybrid systems. Replacement cycles are gradually shortening, and manufacturers are investing in automation, advanced materials and scalable production systems to remain competitive.
A Decade of Industry Evolution
Over ten editions, IME has mirrored the transformation of India’s comfort manufacturing landscape from largely semi-mechanised operations to increasingly technology-driven plants. The 2026 edition will showcase the complete value chain, including:
- Mattress production machinery
- Quilting and finishing systems
- Foam, fabrics, and raw materials
- Adhesives and components
- Upholstery production technology
- Packaging and automation solutions
With growing export interest from South Asia, the Middle East and Africa, manufacturers are focused on efficiency, consistency and international compliance. IME provides a strategic environment for production heads, plant owners and procurement teams to benchmark technologies, evaluate suppliers and plan future investments.
Held concurrently with INDIAWOOD 2026, the exhibition enables cross-sector engagement between mattress, upholstery, woodworking, and furniture manufacturing communities, creating broader sourcing and collaboration opportunities.
As India positions itself as a competitive manufacturing hub for sleep and comfort products, the 10th edition of IME aims to drive the next phase of industry growth, innovation and capacity building.
