Biggest Building Materials Tradeshows You Must Attend in India 2024

Construction in India is one of the most powerful, thriving, and economically significant sectors in the country, accounting for 13% of the country’s GDP. Demand for hardware and building materials has been rising in recent years, fueled by the nation’s fast-developing social, energy, and commercial infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence and robots, as well as the trend towards modular construction methods are providing major prospects for the sector.  As a result, after growing by 10% in 2022, the Indian building materials market is predicted to rise by 8% in the next years. Consequently, having registered a 10% growth in 2022, the Indian building materials market is expected to exhibit an 8% growth in the coming years.
