New Delhi: Koelnmesse Pvt Ltd, the Indian subsidiary of the globally renowned Koelnmesse GmbH, is proud to announce the launch of Anuga FoodTec India Dairy 2026, a premier B2B trade fair dedicated exclusively to India’s dynamic and fast-evolving dairy industry. The show will be held from 22–24 April 2026 at India Expo Mart Ltd., Noida, strategically located in the heart of India’s dairy belt.
India’s dairy market is witnessing robust expansion. Ranked as the world’s largest milk producer, India contributes over 25% to global milk output, with the domestic market projected to grow from USD 135.30 billion in 2024 to USD 274.09 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 9.33% (Source: Fortune Business Insights). The surge is being driven by factors such as rising disposable incomes, evolving consumer preferences, increased health consciousness, and strong government support.
Recognizing this momentum, Koelnmesse is introducing a dedicated dairy technology edition under the umbrella of Anuga FoodTec India – South East Asia’s leading food technology show. The new vertical will serve as a focused meeting ground for dairy processors, equipment manufacturers, cooperative federations, startups, and technology providers looking to shape the future of dairy production and innovation in India.
“India’s dairy industry is a powerful force in the global food supply chain. With this new platform, we are taking our commitment further – offering a high-value space for collaboration, innovation, and growth tailored to the specific needs of dairy stakeholders in India and the surrounding region,” said Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse GmbH. “This initiative reflects our global strategy to build regionally relevant verticals under our strongest brands.”
North India – especially states like Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Bihar – dominates India's milk production, supported by a strong network of cooperatives and private dairies. Noida’s strategic connectivity and industrial infrastructure make it the ideal host city for Anuga FoodTec India Dairy 2026, offering unparalleled access to decision-makers and buyers from across the region.
Buyers can expect a comprehensive showcase of:
• Dairy processing and packaging machinery
• Digitalization, automation, and robotics
• Cold chain, storage, and supply chain solutions
• Quality testing and laboratory instruments
• Dairy ingredients, cultures, and functional additives
• Government bodies, cooperatives, and trade associations
“We are thrilled to launch Anuga FoodTec India Dairy as a dedicated business catalyst for India’s dairy sector,” said Milind Dixit, Managing Director – India & SAARC, Koelnmesse Pvt Ltd. “This platform will help to bring together the entire dairy ecosystem – from cooperative unions and automation specialists to R&D professionals and logistics providers – under one roof, at one time, with one shared vision for the future.”
