Fi India, the country’s premier and only dedicated B2B platform for food and beverage ingredients, will celebrate its landmark 20th edition from 26th to 28th August 2026 at Hall 3 & 4, Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC), Mumbai. The event will bring together 400+ exhibitors, 1200+ brands, and over 15,000 industry professionals from India and international markets.

With participation from domestic and international exhibitors representing countries such as Singapore, Thailand, China, Vietnam, the USA, Poland, Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, Fi India 2026 will serve as a key sourcing and networking hub for the food ingredients ecosystem, connecting suppliers with leading F&B manufacturers, nutraceutical companies, and industry innovators.

The sector is witnessing strong momentum, driven by growing demand for clean label products, plant-based alternatives, and functional and fortified foods. At the same time, manufacturers are navigating cost pressures and evolving regulatory requirements around labelling and health claims, making industry platforms increasingly important for knowledge exchange and business growth.

The exhibition will showcase a wide spectrum of ingredients from food and flavours and natural ingredients to nutraceuticals, proteins, dairy, sweeteners, and biotics, while attracting visitors across segments such as bakery, beverages, dairy, sports nutrition, functional foods, and ready meals.

The show is supported by leading industry bodies including the Association of Food Scientists and Technologists of India (AFSTI), Indian Beverage Association (IBA), Chamber for Advancement of Small and Medium Businesses (CASMB), Health Foods and Dietary Supplements Association (HADSA), and the All India Food Processing Association (AIFPA). Notable exhibitors and brands participating include KP Manish Global Ingredients Pvt. Ltd., Ace International Limited, Brenntag Ingredients India Pvt. Ltd., Azelis (India) Pvt. Ltd., IMCD India Pvt. Ltd., Novasol Ingredients Pvt. Ltd., Godrej Industries, Drytech Process India Pvt. Ltd., UniBourne Food Ingredients LLP, Sonarome Pvt. Ltd. and many more.

A key highlight will be the two-day conference featuring 40+ speakers across 15+ sessions, covering themes such as gut health and microbiome science, plant-based proteins, functional nutrition, clean label innovation, regulatory developments, and sustainable sourcing and packaging.

Additional features include the Innovative Product Showcase Zone, Live Demonstration Area, Global Trends Zone, and Fund Quest, a platform for F&B startups to connect with investors. New for the milestone edition are dedicated MSME, International, and China Pavilions, creating focused platforms for emerging enterprises and global ingredient suppliers to showcase innovations, foster partnerships, and unlock new business opportunities. Enhanced B2B matchmaking tools and networking lounges will further facilitate business interactions.

Further strengthening the event’s leadership engagement, Fi India 2026 will also host an exclusive CXO Roundtable focused on key food and beverage industry topics. Designed as a high-level forum for senior executives and decision-makers, the roundtable will provide a platform to discuss industry challenges, emerging opportunities, innovation priorities, and future growth trends shaping the sector.

Commenting on the milestone edition, Mr Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, said, “As Fi India marks its 20th edition, the food ingredients industry is at a defining inflection point. India’s nutraceutical market is projected to reach approximately USD 18 billion by 2026, growing at over 20% CAGR, while demand for clean label, functional, and plant-based products continues to accelerate across consumer segments. This shift is pushing manufacturers to rethink formulations, sourcing, and innovation at scale.

At the same time, evolving regulatory frameworks and rising input costs are creating a more complex operating environment. In such a landscape, the need for a focused, high-value platform becomes even more critical. Fi India has consistently played that role, bringing together ingredient suppliers, food manufacturers, and solution providers to enable meaningful collaboration and business outcomes.

The 20th edition is not just a milestone, but a reflection of how far the industry has evolved and where it is headed. It will spotlight the convergence of science, sustainability, and consumer-driven innovation, while enabling the partnerships that will define the next decade of food in India.”

Designed for decision-makers across the value chain including CXOs, founders, procurement heads, food technologists, and R&D professionals, Fi India continues to stand apart as a highly specialised platform focused exclusively on ingredients, enabling deeper engagement and targeted outcomes.

With a strong emphasis on innovation, sustainability, and future-ready solutions, Fi India 2026 is set to bring together the key stakeholders shaping the future of food.
