ABOUT THE FAIR
The "Odisha Wood International Expo" is a trade fair dedicated to the woodworking and furniture industry in eastern India. Since its inception in 2022, it has served as a platform for professionals, businesses, and decision-makers in the sector to explore the latest technologies, products, and innovations. The event is organized by Futurex Trade Fairs & Events Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with ASK Trade & Exhibitions Pvt. Ltd., two renowned exhibition organizers with extensive experience in international trade fairs.
The Odisha Wood International Expo takes place biennially at Janata Maidan in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha. This venue was strategically chosen as Odisha plays a crucial role in India's woodworking industry and is emerging as a hub for furniture manufacturing and wood processing. With excellent connectivity to key trade routes and the region's economic growth, the fair is highly attractive to both national and international participants.
The event focuses on the latest developments in woodworking, furniture production, and surface finishing. It showcases state-of-the-art woodworking machinery, including CNC systems, milling and sanding technologies, and robotic production systems. Additionally, a strong emphasis is placed on wood-based materials such as veneers, plywood, MDF, and laminates, which are essential for sustainable and innovative design solutions. Furthermore, advancements in tooling and fittings, surface treatment, adhesives, and wood-related chemicals are also highlighted.
A key theme of the fair is sustainability in wood processing. Environmentally friendly production methods, recycling concepts, and resource-efficient materials are not only displayed at exhibitors' stands but also discussed in expert lectures and panel discussions.
The Odisha Wood International Expo attracts a diverse professional audience, including wood processors, furniture designers, architects, contractors, and retailers. Representatives from the hospitality and interior design sectors, investors, as well as decision-makers from government agencies and institutions, also attend to establish business connections and stay informed about current market trends. Companies from various sectors, ranging from mechanical engineering and wood-based materials to software solutions for woodworking, present their innovations to a targeted professional audience.
One of the fair’s key highlights is the live demonstration of cutting-edge woodworking technologies and the presentation of innovative design and manufacturing solutions.
The Odisha Wood International Expo is part of the globally established "Wood International Expo" series, which takes place in various countries across South Asia and Africa. The series adapts to local market conditions and industry requirements, offering tailored solutions for regional stakeholders.
The venue, Janata Maidan in Bhubaneswar, boasts modern infrastructure and a prime location. Bhubaneswar, a significant economic hub in eastern India, is easily accessible via its international airport, well-developed railway network, and efficient road system. This makes the expo an attractive event for both national and international visitors, providing opportunities for knowledge exchange, networking, and business expansion in a dynamic environment.
The Odisha Wood International Expo takes place biennially, and therefore for the second time previsibly in February 2026 in Bhubaneswar.
