Yashobhoomi to Host MATECIA 2026 & WADE ASIA, Uniting India’s Design Ecosystem

The exhibition will showcase a wide spectrum of products and solutions across surfaces, boards, laminates, plywood, hardware and fittings, doors and windows, tiles and stones, bath and sanitaryware, kitchen and wardrobe solutions, lighting, furniture, machinery and allied categories.

More than a product showcase, MATECIA is designed around the people who influence, specify, procure, manufacture, distribute and use these products — creating opportunities for business, networking, discovery and collaboration across the value chain.

The coming together of MATECIA, THE WADE ASIA, India Furniture Conclave and Material Technology Conference reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of India’s built environment.

Today, a material decision can influence design; design can determine manufacturing; manufacturing impacts project delivery; furniture is increasingly technology-enabled; and AI and digital tools are changing how the industry works.

The four platforms therefore create an opportunity to look at the entire ecosystem together — from materials and manufacturing to architecture, furniture, interiors, technology and end-user expectations.

Across four days, Yashobhoomi will become a meeting ground for exhibition, live jury presentations, finalist showcases, design installations, projects, photography, knowledge sessions, industry debates, product discovery, networking and business interactions.

The 2026 edition comes at a particularly interesting moment for India’s built environment.

Indian manufacturers and furniture brands are increasingly looking at global opportunities. Architects and designers are demanding greater material innovation and product choice. Modular interiors are becoming more sophisticated, while speed, standardisation and customisation are being debated at every level of the industry. AI and digital tools are beginning to reshape design practices, while buyers and developers are demanding greater efficiency, quality and accountability.

Against this backdrop, MATECIA, THE WADE ASIA, India Furniture Conclave and Material Technology Conference collectively create a platform where the industry can discover what is new, question what is changing and build the relationships that will shape what comes next.
