October 29, 2026, The eighth edition of PU TECH, India’s biennial polyurethane exhibition and conference, is scheduled to take place from January 20 to 22, 2027, at India Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Organised by the Indian Polyurethane Association (IPUA), the event will bring together manufacturers, raw-material suppliers, machinery providers and industry professionals to explore developments across the polyurethane value chain.
PU TECH 2027 will focus on materials, manufacturing equipment, processing technologies and applications serving industries such as automotive, construction, furniture, footwear and household appliances. The exhibition is scheduled to occupy Halls 9–11 at the venue and will carry the theme “Celebrating 90 Years of Polyurethane,” recognising the development of polyurethane chemistry in 1937.
According to the organiser’s published event specifications, the exhibition is planned across 18,000 square metres of gross area and 9,000 square metres of net exhibition space. The event-specification table lists more than 180 exhibitors and over 7,000 trade visitors, while promotional figures on the official homepage cite more than 200 exhibitors and over 8,000 professionals.
These figures represent published specifications and promotional estimates for the upcoming edition, rather than confirmed attendance or exhibitor results.
PU TECH 2027: Dates, Venue and Organiser
PU TECH 2027 will be held over three days, from January 20 to 22, at India Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida. The Indian Polyurethane Association is organising the eighth edition of the biennial exhibition and conference.
The event is designed to provide a business platform for companies involved in polyurethane raw materials, chemicals, machinery, equipment and finished products. It will also enable industry participants to exchange technical knowledge and explore commercial opportunities across different applications.
By bringing suppliers and manufacturers together, PU TECH aims to connect businesses at different stages of the production process, from material development and processing to the manufacture of components for end-use industries.
The exhibition’s focus on both technology and commercial engagement is expected to make it relevant to businesses looking for suppliers, manufacturing solutions and information about developments in polyurethane applications.
Exhibition to Cover Foams, Coatings, Adhesives and Elastomers
PU TECH 2027 will showcase technologies and products across several segments of the polyurethane industry. These include flexible and rigid foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, machinery and processing equipment.
Flexible polyurethane foams are used in cushioning applications, including furniture and seating, while rigid foams are widely associated with insulation applications. Their different physical properties allow manufacturers to select materials according to performance requirements and intended uses.
Coatings, adhesives and sealants form another important segment of the exhibition. These solutions are used in a range of industrial and commercial applications where surface protection, bonding and sealing are required.
Polyurethane elastomers also serve specialised industrial and engineered applications. Depending on their formulation, these materials can be developed for products requiring particular combinations of flexibility, durability and mechanical performance.
Machinery and processing technologies will provide another area of focus. Equipment used in polyurethane manufacturing plays a role in material preparation, processing efficiency and the production of components with specific properties.
The planned product coverage reflects the diversity of the polyurethane value chain and its connections with multiple manufacturing sectors.
Automotive, Construction and Furniture Among Key Application Industries
Polyurethane materials are used across a wide range of industries because their properties can be adapted to different functional requirements. Automotive manufacturers use polyurethane in applications such as seating, cushioning and selected engineered components.
In construction, polyurethane products are associated with insulation, sealing and protective applications. These uses make the material relevant to building products and systems where thermal performance or surface protection is important.
Furniture manufacturers use flexible polyurethane foam in cushioning, while footwear producers use polyurethane-based materials in selected soles and components. Household appliances represent another application area, particularly where insulation materials are required.
The range of end-use industries gives PU TECH 2027 a cross-sector focus. Manufacturers and suppliers attending the exhibition will be able to explore technologies relevant to their respective production requirements and identify potential connections with other businesses in the value chain.
However, specific product launches, exhibitor announcements and new technology demonstrations for the 2027 edition have not been detailed in the information available for this article.
PU TECH 2027 Exhibition Area and Participation Estimates
The exhibition is scheduled to occupy Halls 9–11 at India Expo Centre & Mart. The organiser’s event-specification table lists a gross exhibition area of 18,000 square metres and a net area of 9,000 square metres.
The same specifications list more than 180 exhibitors and over 7,000 trade visitors. Separately, the event’s homepage promotes higher figures of more than 200 exhibitors and over 8,000 professionals.
The difference between these published figures means the estimates should be considered separately rather than treated as a single confirmed attendance forecast. Final participation will depend on the exhibitors and visitors attending the January 2027 event.
For businesses considering participation, the exhibition’s planned scale provides an indication of its intended industry reach. Its three-day format is expected to create opportunities for product demonstrations, supplier discussions and professional networking.
The concentration of polyurethane suppliers, machinery providers and downstream manufacturers could also help participants identify potential commercial relationships across the sector.
Celebrating 90 Years of Polyurethane Chemistry
The theme for PU TECH 2027 is “Celebrating 90 Years of Polyurethane,” marking the development of polyurethane chemistry by Otto Bayer and his team in 1937.
Over the decades, polyurethane has become an important material across industrial and consumer applications. Its versatility allows formulations to be adapted for products requiring cushioning, insulation, coatings, bonding or engineered performance.
The anniversary theme places the exhibition’s technical focus within the broader history of polyurethane development. It also highlights the material’s continuing relevance to manufacturers seeking solutions for different product designs and production requirements.
For industry participants, the event will provide a setting to examine the range of polyurethane materials and processing technologies available across the value chain. Technical discussions and supplier interactions may also help businesses assess solutions suited to their particular applications.
The theme itself recognises the material’s development over nine decades; specific anniversary programmes or additional conference sessions have not been detailed in the information provided.
Business Networking and Industry Outlook
As a biennial exhibition and conference, PU TECH serves as a meeting point for businesses involved in polyurethane production, processing and application. The 2027 edition is expected to bring together stakeholders working with raw materials, manufacturing machinery, finished products and industrial applications.
For manufacturers, direct engagement with suppliers can support the evaluation of materials and equipment for existing or planned production requirements. Suppliers, meanwhile, can use industry exhibitions to present their offerings and connect with potential customers.
The event’s cross-industry coverage also creates opportunities for discussions about the requirements of automotive, construction, furniture, footwear and appliance manufacturers.
With its January dates, dedicated exhibition halls and focus on the polyurethane value chain, PU TECH 2027 is preparing to bring industry participants together in Greater Noida. Its significance will ultimately depend on the technologies presented, the business relationships established and the commercial opportunities generated during the three-day event.
