The recently concluded WOFX (World Furniture Expo 2024) brought together industry leaders, exhibitors and buyers from India and around the world at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai from December 5-7.

International exhibitors represented the USA, Germany, Italy, Turkiye, the UAE, China, Japan, Taiwan and Sri Lanka, apart from India. Attendees explored the latest furniture trends, technologies, and designs from global markets.

WOFX 2024 was inaugurated by Suresh Prabhu, former Union minister, along with key industry representatives, reinforcing its significance in the sector.

Rajesh Bhagat, Chairman and Managing Director of Worldex India, stated, “India’s furniture and design industry is witnessing unprecedented growth, but true progress comes through collaboration. WOFX connects stakeholders with global designs, materials and expertise.”

The expo also served as a knowledge-sharing hub with sessions like ‘Smart Talks’, where industry experts discussed market strategies, sourcing, and evolving consumer trends. The WOFX Awards recognized excellence in booth design, product innovation, and creativity, judged by leading architects and designers.

India’s furniture market is projected to reach US$26.85 billion by 2028, driven by growth in real estate and hospitality. WOFX continues to provide a dedicated platform for manufacturers, suppliers and design professionals to connect and explore new opportunities.
