6 important ceramic exhibitions

Every year, many tile brands from India take part in several exhibitions in India & abroad. Below we have enlisted some of the popular ceramic exhibitions.

Domestic Exhibitions

ET AceTech

This show is being organized by an Indian media group – The Economic Times. It’s organized in each metro city of India such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, New Delhi NCR & Hyderabad.

Until 2016 this show used to be a “must attend” for tile industry professionals. the charm of AceTech faded due to Vibrant Ceramics Expo after December 2016. They don’t organize Vibrant Ceramic anymore so AceTech is back into the limelight.

ACETECH show is still relevant for general building material professionals. It covers wide building material product range and it’s presence across India.

Vibrant Ceramics Expo & Summit

Please note the show has been re-branded under Vibrant Buildcon. Due to the below reasons, this show received wide coverage among tile industry professionals:
First of all, it is only such exhibition focused on finished ceramic tile products
It received generous sponsorship from local factories. Also continuous support by local ceramic associations
The venue they choose (Ahmedabad / Gandhinagar) is near Morbi. This helps better participation by exhibitors
Good connectivity & plenty of hotels in Ahmedabad helps the show. We saw more visitors during the 2nd iteration of the event (2017).
The organizers made roadshows across 18 states of India and 45 countries across the world
The show also has good support from the government

Indian Ceramics – Ahmedabad

Being organized since 2005 this is the oldest among ceramic exhibitions. Two major show organizers (Messe München GmbH & Unifair Exhibition Service Co. Ltd.) exhibiting together at a bigger venue.

The event covers technical aspects of the industry. Such as refractory materials, raw materials, additives, machinery, etc

International Exhibitions

The BIG 5 Show – Dubai

Middle-East is the main export market for ceramic companies in India. BIG 5 exhibition is a must-attend event for a building material company factory. Many tiles manufacturers from Morbi take part in this exhibition. This helps to get exposure to the big Middle-East and African markets.

CEVISAMA (at Feria Valencia) – Spain

Innovation at a reasonable price is at the center stage for Spanish tile industry. Do you want to see the vastness of the world ceramic industry?
This is is the must-attend exhibition towards end of February (or beginning of March) each year at Valencia, Spain.

It is difficult to get space in this reputed tile expo. Only few Indian factories take part in Cevisama. You can see below Indian brands in 2024 show:

Colortile Group
Comet Granito Group (Granicer)
Emcer Tiles

CERSAIE – Bologna, Italy

For a tile aficionado, CERSAIE is the exhibition of the year to learn new trends. If you are looking for unique/exclusive tiles you should visit this
event. They organize this fair during September each year. Since decades Italy has remained trendsetter in the international ceramic industry. Many tiles & sanitary ware manufacturers from Morbi visit the CERSAIE exhibition every year. There is little or no participation in this show by the local industry. Big brands like Qutone, AGL, Simpolo, Somany, Kajaria are participating there.
