UFI research conducted with jwc, shows that Asia-Pacific remains the world's largest exhibition region by venue capacity, while India contributes only around 4% of that regional inventory. The country's 19 large-scale exhibition venues together offer total venue space of 639,000 sqm, highlighting substantial room for growth as demand increases, shared UFI’s COO.

By 2027, while Asia as a whole is expected to return to 2019 levels, India is projected to exceed pre-Covid exhibition activity by more than 50%, shared Sebastian Witt, Partner & Senior Consultant at jwc GmbH. The firm also identifies India as the world's most attractive exhibition market but warns that inadequate venue infrastructure could constrain future growth.
