Fi India Mumbai

The Fi India – Food Ingredients India is an annual trade fair that has established itself as a key meeting point for food additives and ingredients in South Asia. Organized by Informa Markets, a leading international trade show organizer and part of the British Informa PLC group, the event brings together professionals from across the food and beverage industry to exchange insights on current developments and emerging trends. The abbreviation “Fi” stands for “Food Ingredients”, underscoring the fair’s clear focus on ingredients, additives, and technological innovations shaping modern food production.

A distinctive feature of Fi India is its annually rotating venue within the country. Cities like Mumbai and Greater Noida regularly host the event. This rotation strategy helps involve various economically significant regions across India and strengthens the fair’s local relevance—reflecting the dynamic nature of the Indian market.

The spotlight is on cutting-edge topics such as functional and natural ingredients, plant-based protein solutions, alternative sweeteners, emulsifiers, specialty fats, and modified starches. These products respond to increasing demands for health, sustainability, and taste. In addition, the fair showcases solutions for clean-label products, gluten- and lactose-free options, as well as vegan and vegetarian alternatives—addressing growing consumer awareness around nutrition, ethics, and environmental impact.

However, Fi India goes beyond merely showcasing ingredients. It offers a comprehensive platform for food processing technologies, modern packaging solutions, analytical quality control, and services such as contract manufacturing and private-label production. As such, Fi India covers the entire value chain of the food industry—from raw materials and product development to market-ready solutions.

A key element of the event is the combination of exhibition, knowledge sharing, and networking. Alongside the product showcase, visitors can expect a diverse supporting program that includes expert lectures, panel discussions, innovation presentations, and award ceremonies recognizing pioneering developments and outstanding companies. This mix makes Fi India a hub for inspiration, exchange, and strategic partnerships—both nationally and internationally.

As part of a global series of trade fairs held in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, Fi India is embedded in an international network. It offers manufacturers a unique opportunity to introduce their products to the Indian market—one of the most promising markets worldwide due to its size, growth, and innovative potential.

Fi India is therefore more than just a trade fair: it is a driver of innovation in the food industry, a guide to future trends, and a showcase for the future of nutrition in one of the world’s most dynamic economic regions.

The Fi India will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 26. August to Friday, 28. August 2026 in Mumbai.
