HGH India Launches 2025–26 Trend Report: ‘Emotion in Motion’

Mumbai, 18 June 2025 – HGH India, the premier trade show for home textiles, décor, furniture, houseware, and gifting, has officially launched its signature Trend Report for 2025–26, themed ‘Emotion in Motion’. As a flagship initiative, the report continues HGH India’s commitment to leading the Indian home fashion industry with in-depth trend forecasting and design insight.

This annual forecast is the result of comprehensive research and cultural analysis, offering a detailed look into India’s rapidly evolving consumer tastes and lifestyle choices. From millennial and Gen Z preferences to tech adoption and sustainability awareness, the report showcases how Indian households are redefining identity, aesthetics, and purpose within their personal spaces.

Divided into four distinct trend narratives—Future Fizz, Majestic Lagoon, Burgundy Bloom, and Chai & Biscuits—the report delves into a diverse fusion of colours, materials, emotions, and design cues, each inspired by a blend of Indian tradition, global influence, and modern living.

“At HGH India, we see trend forecasting not just as aesthetic storytelling, but as strategic direction,” said Rajiv Merchant, CEO of Texzone Information Services Pvt. Ltd., organiser of HGH India. “Our Trend Report is designed to empower brands, designers, retailers, and professionals across the home ecosystem to create offerings that are timely, relevant, and reflective of how India lives today and where it’s headed next.”

In a retail environment marked by shrinking cycles and rising consumer expectations, this Trend Report is positioned as a crucial tool for:

• Manufacturers and brands aiming to align product development with visual and lifestyle shifts.
• Retailers needing insight to curate stock and collections aligned with evolving moods.
• Interior designers and architects drawing inspiration for spatial narratives and client needs.
• End consumers who are increasingly discerning, seeking environments that mirror their aspirations and values.

The Trends Pavilion at HGH India 2025 will physically bring the forecast to life through curated product displays, immersive merchandising, and interactive installations. These experiential zones will allow visitors to engage with the materials, textures, and colours that are expected to shape India’s home spaces in the year ahead.

By presenting a clear, insightful, and accessible design roadmap, HGH India reinforces its status as a leading source of home fashion intelligence. The 2025–26 Trend Report is more than a forecast—it is a strategic vision connecting current industry realities with the emotional and aesthetic aspirations of India’s consumers.
