The ninth Kids India fair will have a programme of presentations and discussions and reimbursement of costs for international buyers.
The ninth Kids India is on its way. India’s most important international B2B trade fair for toys, children’s products and sports goods takes place from 31st August to 2nd September at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. Organised by Spielwarenmesse India Pvt., a subsidiary of Spielwarenmesse eG, and the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce, the fair offers an ideal entry point into a rapidly growing market.
Although 60% of space has already been allocated, there is still time for interested companies to register.
At the fair’s 2022 restart following an enforced two-year break for the pandemic, more than 120 exhibitors and 5476 trade visitors from 33 countries were present in Mumbai. With some 150 companies currently registered – including not only giants of the industry but also local businesses and startups – Kids India offers a broad product portfolio. Alongside classic toys such as goods for babies and infants, dolls and plush fabric products, wooden toys and modelling, the varied product range also includes fields such as electronic and educational toys. Complementing these items will be sports, leisure and outdoor products.
On the first two days of the fair, Kids India offers a comprehensive programme of seminars and interactive podium discussions. The presentations tackle political measures to support the toy industry as well as market trends and innovative technologies. Alongside these, there will also be a focus on startups and their routes into the industry, and the topic of toys and mental wellbeing.
The ‘Hosted Buyer Programme’, for international buyers has been put together to provide a trouble-free and efficient visit to the fair. Thanks to the package put together by the Sports Goods Export Promotion Council (SGEPC), flight costs will be reimbursed on arrival on 30th August, and a hotel room for two nights in Mumbai is also included. Visitors can take part in exclusive meetings with exhibitors and get into direct discussions with sales representatives. The application form for this limited offer can be found on the Kids India website.
