Home Care Ingredients Expo Chennai

The Home Care Ingredients Expo (HCIE) is India’s leading trade fair for ingredients and innovative solutions in the household and cleaning products industry. As a key gathering for the sector, HCIE unites manufacturers, suppliers, product developers, and both technical and regulatory decision-makers to present the latest advancements in formulation, packaging, and sustainable chemistry.

Held at the Chennai Trade Centre in Chennai—one of South Asia’s most prominent exhibition venues—the expo benefits from excellent national and international connectivity. The event is organized by FME (Future Market Events) Media Pvt. Ltd., a respected trade fair organizer known for delivering high-quality, globally focused industry events.

More than just a product showcase, HCIE positions itself as a platform for innovation along the entire value chain, from raw material development and packaging solutions to regulatory guidance. Central to the event are themes that are reshaping the industry, including advanced surfactants and emulsifiers that serve as the foundation of effective cleaning products, carefully crafted fragrances that enhance sensory appeal, biotechnologically produced enzymes that enable environmentally friendly high-performance formulations, and biodegradable, plant-based ingredients that support sustainability. This wide array is complemented by additives, specialty chemicals, dyes, binders, smart packaging concepts, and insights into the latest regulatory developments.

The products on display range from basic raw materials in liquid or powder form to sophisticated enzyme blends, fully developed formulations, and pioneering packaging solutions. Special attention is given to the Innovation Zones and pitch competitions, where start-ups and research institutions present their latest developments.

Exhibitors primarily represent the chemical, biotechnology, fragrance and flavor, packaging technology, and regulatory sectors. The event attracts a professional audience from across the household, cleaning, and personal care industries, particularly those involved in research and development, procurement, brand management, start-ups, and international trade.

Chennai’s strategic location, economic diversity, and innovative potential further emphasize the relevance of the event. The Chennai Trade Centre is easily accessible via the international airport, central railway station, and the city’s transport infrastructure, offering a modern venue tailored to professional business events.

The Home Care Ingredients Expo is more than a trade fair—it is a curated platform for forward-thinking formulations, sustainable chemistry, and market-driven innovations that are shaping the future of household care products.
