BolognaFiere Group expands its global strategy for the pet sector with a new platform dedicated to India’s fast-growing market.
BolognaFiere Group and Zoomark announce the launch of PetBridge, powered by Zoomark, a new B2B exhibition designed to connect India’s rapidly expanding pet care sector with the global industry.
The event will debut in Mumbai on 25th – 26th November 2026 at NESCO center, Bombai Exhibition Center (BEC), bringing international standards, sector-leading expertise and long-term industry vision into one unified platform, and marking a significant step in the Group’s broader international development strategy and strengthening its presence in Asia.
Conceived as a professional platform tailored to India’s evolving business landscape, PetBridge brings together the international expertise of BolognaFiere Group and Zoomark with the local insight of leading Indian partners. The project reflects a shared commitment to supporting companies as they navigate new commercial opportunities, build strategic relationships, and interpret the market with greater clarity.
As India’s pet economy accelerates, valued at USD 3.6 billion in 2024 and expected to exceed USD 7 billion by 2030, the industry is entering a phase of transformation driven by premiumisation, innovation and a fast-expanding community of pet-first households.
With demand rising across food, health, services, retail and lifestyle, the market is ready for a world-class event that can consolidate growth and create new pathways for collaboration.
PetBridge responds directly to this momentum, offering a strategic gateway where India’s domestic ecosystem meets global opportunity.
Powered by Zoomark, one of the world’s most established and respected trade shows for the pet industry, built in partnership with Inspira Bridge Events, organisers of CMPL, India’s leading private-label event, PetBridge combines global authority with deep local insight.
Together, the partners are shaping an exhibition that reflects the needs of a market evolving at speed, and the ambition of companies ready to expand their footprint in India.
Antonio Bruzzone, CEO, BolognaFiere Group, said:
“India is today one of the most dynamic pet care markets in the world, and the launch of PetBridge represents a decisive step in our global development path. We are bringing Zoomark’s international expertise to Mumbai and integrating it with the deep local market knowledge of our partners, to offer companies a platform where they can interpret market evolution, build new connections and create long-term value. With PetBridge, we are opening a new chapter in our presence in Asia and reinforcing BolognaFiere’s role as a platform that anticipates trends and supports companies in their growth journey .”
