Coimbatore’s largest building and interior design exhibition opens for its 13th consecutive year this August. Interio & Exterio Expo 2026 runs from August 7 to 9 at CODISSIA Trade Fair Complex — three days covering 300 exhibitors and an expected 30,000–35,000 visitors across tiles, marble, furniture, kitchens, lighting, home automation, plumbing, and the full spectrum of building and interiors.
Unlike most trade expos at CODISSIA that restrict entry to industry professionals, Interio & Exterio is open to the general public. Homeowners planning construction, couples furnishing a new apartment, and anyone in the middle of a renovation find as much here as architects and contractors do.
About Interio & Exterio Expo 2026
Organised by Buoyant Media — a Coimbatore-based event company that has been running this expo since 2013 — Interio & Exterio has grown from a regional trade event into one of South India’s recognised building and interior expos. The 2025 edition (12th) drew 35,000+ visitors and had 300+ stalls. The 2026 edition maintains the same scale.
Buoyant Media’s focus is squarely on the Coimbatore market: their office is in Saibaba Colony, and the expo is positioned as a local access point for brands and products that would otherwise require trips to trade shows in Chennai or Bengaluru. The Certificate of Excellence from 10times and Top 100 rankings in both the Building & Construction and Home & Office categories reflect the event’s track record.
What’s Inside
Interio & Exterio covers 10 broad product sectors that together span the entire building lifecycle, from raw materials to finished interiors:
Building materials & structure: Steel, concrete, marble and natural stone, plywood and laminates, waterproofing chemicals. This is the category most relevant to civil contractors and developers evaluating suppliers before project procurement.
Surfaces & flooring: Tiles and ceramics, wooden and engineered flooring, PVC ceiling sheets and wall coverings. One of the more consumer-friendly sections — homeowners choosing tiles for a bathroom renovation get to see and feel the products directly, not just look at samples.
Fixtures & fittings: Sanitary ware, plumbing pipes and fittings, modular kitchen accessories, hardware and locks. Typically the highest footfall area among homeowners.
Technology & automation: Home automation systems, office automation, electrical wiring and lighting, LED solutions. The growing integration of automation into residential projects makes this section increasingly relevant even for mid-range construction.
Design & decor: Paints and texture finishes, wallpapers, curtains, decorative lighting, handcraft and lifestyle products. Useful for interior designers and homeowners in the finishing stage of a project.
Outdoor solutions: Facade materials, windows and door systems, artificial grass and landscaping materials. Increasingly relevant as Coimbatore’s villa and independent house construction sector grows.
Interiors & furniture: Furniture pieces, modular interior systems, kitchen solutions, bathroom furniture, lifestyle elements.
For Homeowners
Interio & Exterio is one of the few CODISSIA events where a homeowner — not a trade professional — has a genuine reason to attend. If you are:
- Building a new house and have not finalised tile suppliers, kitchen vendors, or sanitary ware brands — this is the place to compare options from 300 exhibitors over three days, often at prices that include expo-period discounts
- Renovating and looking for specific products (a modular kitchen, a particular tile design, a waterproofing solution) — exhibitors at Interio & Exterio often bring exclusive or discounted offerings for the event
- Furnishing an apartment and want to see furniture, lighting, and decor in person rather than ordering from a catalogue
Exhibitors typically offer special pricing during the event — it’s a higher-pressure but more price-negotiable environment than a regular showroom.
For Trade Professionals
For architects, interior designers, and contractors, the value is supplier access and product knowledge:
Architects and interior designers updating their material library and building relationships with suppliers who can deliver to project specifications, timelines, and site locations in and around Coimbatore.
Civil contractors and builders evaluating new suppliers for materials they’re specifying frequently — tiles, waterproofing, fittings — and comparing quality and pricing across brands in one day.
Real estate developers assessing product specifications for upcoming projects, comparing price-to-quality ratios across the interior finish categories.
Building materials dealers looking at new product lines to stock, particularly in categories like home automation, premium tiles, and eco-friendly materials where new entrants are expanding quickly.
