Final Pavilion Spots Now Available with Subsidised Rates
India continues to play a major role in Australia’s premier sourcing event, the Global Sourcing Expo, with long-standing and significant participation at the Melbourne edition, and rapidly growing interest in the Sydney edition.
The Global Sourcing Expo Sydney, taking place on 17 – 19 July 2025, presents a powerful opportunity for Indian exporters to expand their presence in Australia. Final spots are now available for Indian exhibitors at subsidised rates, with national pavilions supported by the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) and the Wool and Woollens Export Promotion Council (WWEPC).
Having been a cornerstone of the Melbourne event since its inception over a decade ago, India’s contribution has helped shape the Expo into one of the region’s most important global sourcing destinations. Now, with two editions annually—in Melbourne and Sydney—Indian businesses have unprecedented access to key Australian markets year-round.
The Sydney edition is gaining strong momentum. Last year’s event recorded a 43% increase in visitor numbers, and this year’s registration figures suggest another impressive turnout. Indian exhibitors will benefit from exposure to buyers from across Sydney, greater NSW, and Queensland.
Why Indian Exporters Should Exhibit at Global Sourcing Expo Sydney:
- Australia ranks as the second-largest consumer of apparel and textiles per capita, and India is its fifth-largest trading partner.
- Indian exporters benefit from the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA)—96% of Indian imports into Australia are now tariff-free, with 100% becoming tariff-free by January 1, 2026.
- India is recognised for its high-quality, sustainable textile products, a growing demand in the Australian market.
- Continued support from leading Indian industry organisations such as FIEO and WWEPC ensures strong national representation.
- The Expo provides an ideal platform to explore new season opportunities across apparel, accessories, textiles, and homewares.
Quote from WWEPC Executive Director, Suresh Thakur:
“The Global Sourcing Expo Sydney offers an outstanding platform for Indian wool and woollen textile exporters and international buyers to engage, collaborate and explore emerging market opportunities. Renowned for innovation, quality and sustainable practices, India’s woollen textile sector is well-equipped to meet the dynamic needs of global consumers.
With the India-Australia CEPA offering significant tariff advantages and zero-duty access for many Indian textile products, this is an opportune moment to strengthen trade ties. WWEPC is proud to be part of this prestigious event and looks forward to building deeper partnerships with Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region. We warmly invite all buyers to experience the excellence and diversity of Indian woollen products at the Expo.”
Indian exporters are encouraged to secure their space now and take advantage of this opportunity to connect with the region’s most influential retail buyers, importers, wholesalers, and sourcing professionals.
