Indusfood 2025: A global showcase of Indian Food Economy


Since its inception in 2017, Indusfood has become a significant platform showcasing India’s dynamic food economy while connecting global businesses with the nation’s expanding food and beverage sector. The 8th edition of Indusfood, Asia’s premier Food and Beverage Trade Show held from January 8 to 10 at the India Exposition Mart Ltd in Greater Noida.

Organised by the Trade Promotion Council of India with support from the Department of Commerce, the event has consistently evolved, reflecting the growth of India’s F&B industry. In 2024, it welcomed international exhibitors for the first time, signalling its growing stature as a truly global trade fair. This year, Indusfood 2025 marked another milestone, transitioning into an integrated farm-to-fork trade show that underscores India’s commitment to sustainable and comprehensive food systems.

This evolution reflects India's growing prominence in the global food landscape, positioning Indusfood as a key platform for showcasing the nation's potential. With 15 agroclimatic zones, India is capable of producing a diverse range of crops. Supported by progressive government policies, a robust agricultural resource base, a rapidly developing processed food sector, and a booming consumer market, India is emerging as a hub of opportunity. As the driving force behind the future of the global food industry, the country continues to offer immense potential for international trade and investment. Indusfood plays a vital role in bridging global markets and fostering partnerships in India’s thriving food economy.

Indusfood 2025 featured 1,800 exhibitors from over 20 countries, with an expansive exhibition space of more than 80,000 square metres. The event attracted over five thousand international buyers from 180+ countries and over 100 supermarket chains and e-retailers, making it a key platform for global business connections. This edition marked a significant milestone as Indusfood debuts as an integrated farm-to-fork trade show.

The 2025 edition also witnessed participation from 35 international chefs and 100 Indian delegates, alongside professionals from Delhi NCR. With a diverse international audience, the show offered Indian food companies a unique opportunity to expand their reach beyond just the Indian diaspora and tap into native populations in global markets.

Since its inception, Indusfood has witnessed remarkable growth in both scale and impact, underscoring its immense value proposition for exhibitors and buyers alike. The event began in 2017 as a focused platform to connect Indian food and beverage producers with international markets. In 2018, the second edition of Indusfood featured just 320 exhibitors. Fast forward to 2025, the event hosted over 1,800 exhibitors, showcasing an impressive expansion that reflects the dynamic evolution of India’s food and beverage industry.

This growth trajectory is a testament to Indusfood’s dedication to fostering meaningful business connections and facilitating on-the-spot business deals. Such efforts have played a catalytic role in bolstering India’s food and beverage exports, with a particular focus on the processed food sector. By providing a robust platform for networking, collaboration, and trade, Indusfood has significantly enhanced India’s visibility in global markets.

Overall, Indusfood continued to play a vital role in positioning India as a hub for international trade, offering immense opportunities for growth, collaboration, and investment in the food industry.
