India is opening new export avenues for plastic finished product manufacturers with PlastiWorld 2026, positioned as the country’s largest international trade event dedicated to finished plastics. Scheduled from 23 to 25 March 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai, the event highlights India’s transition from a raw material supplier to a global manufacturing and export hub.

Organised by the All India Plastics Manufacturers Association (AIPMA) and supported by the Federation of Indian Export Organisations, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, PlastiWorld 2026 aims to showcase India’s capabilities and connect export-ready manufacturers with overseas buyers.

The exhibition will feature finished plastics across categories such as houseware, kitchenware, tableware, packaging materials, toys, sports and leisure products, stationery and gifting. The event will bring together MSMEs and verified international importers to enable direct B2B sourcing opportunities and long-term trade partnerships.

India’s manufacturing strength in plastics continues to rise through automation, precision tooling, and strong logistics infrastructure, aligning with global demand for high-quality, compliant, and reliable suppliers. Backed by government-led export initiatives, the sector is focused on scaling global competitiveness.

Positioned as a strategic industry platform, PlastiWorld 2026 aims to drive collaboration, innovation, and export growth. For Indian manufacturers, it offers a global launchpad from Mumbai; for international buyers, a reliable destination for sourcing high-performance finished plastic goods.
