Outlook: Tube India 2026 to further
strengthen its role as a key industry
platform
Following the successful 2024 edition, the
international tube industry is already looking
ahead to Tube India 2026, which will take
place again at the Bombay Exhibition Center
in Mumbai from November 30 to Decem-
ber 2. Against the backdrop of a dynami-
cally growing Indian market and increasing
international participation, the exhibition is
expected to further consolidate its position
as a leading platform for the tube and pipe
industry.
India: A rapidly expanding steel and tube
market
India is increasingly emerging as one of
the most important growth markets in the
global steel and tube industry. The country
is already the world’s second-largest steel
producer and produced more than 150
million tons of crude steel in 2024/25, with
production continuing to rise. At the same
time, the government is targeting a massive
expansion of capacity to 300 million tons by
2030, supported by investments of more
than USD 150 billion in the sector.
Steel demand in India is expected to grow at
around 5–6% annually, with total consump-
tion projected to reach up to 260 million
tons by 2035. Recent forecasts even indicate
short-term growth rates of around 9% per
year, underlining the strong momentum
across infrastructure, construction, and
industrial sectors.
