IIGF - India International Garment Fair (Indian International Garment Fair: Gateway to Global Fashion)

Event name: India International Garment Fair (IIGF)
What it is: A buyer–seller sourcing platform focused on apparel and fashion accessories made in India, designed to connect Indian manufacturers and exhibitors with overseas buyers.

Event basics (from official event website)

• Dates: 23-24-25 January 2026
• Venue / Hall: Hall no. 2, Yashobhoomi, Dwarka
• City: New Delhi
• Country: India
• Event theme / positioning: “Buyer-Seller platform” to meet sourcing requirements of “Apparel and Fashion Accessories world wide.”

1️⃣ Who attends (BUYERS / ATTENDEES)

Based on the official description, IIGF is structured around an overseas buyer ecosystem meeting with Indian apparel and accessories suppliers. The fair is explicitly positioned as a platform where global buyers visit to do business, and it also invites sourcing teams and overseas buyer representatives.

Primary attendee groups (most relevant “buyer” layer)

• Overseas buyers (international sourcing decision-makers visiting the fair)
• Overseas buyer registration participants (registered buyers as described on the site)
• Sourcing teams / sourcing consultants (the site invites “your sourcing team to network with the overseas buyers and apparel manufacturers”)
• Apparel & accessory exhibitors / Indian manufacturers (the event promotes participation for makers of men’s, women’s, and kids’ wear and accessories)

Supporting attendee groups (still relevant to engagement)

• Manufacturers and established players in apparel (the fair is described as an opportunity for “new entrants as well as established players”)
• Industry network participants (implied through the “network with overseas buyers and apparel manufacturers” framing)

What we should target as “buyers” for list building: overseas buyer decision-makers and sourcing consultants who are actively registering to source apparel and accessories from Indian suppliers for global distribution.

2️⃣ Where the show is happening + attendee geographic origin

Location (official): Hall no. 2, Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi, India.

Attendee geographic origin

The official content clearly indicates that buyers from entire global countries visit the fair. However, it does not specify a precise list of origin countries or a breakdown by region.

• Attendee origin statement (from website): “Every year buyers from entire global countries visit the fair…”
• Country-by-country breakdown:  

Practical targeting implication for our research: We should prioritize “overseas buyer” segments and sourcing consultant profiles that typically operate across multi-country procurement cycles connected to apparel and fashion accessories sourcing.

3️⃣ Audience reach (Local / National / Global)

IIGF is positioned as a platform with global buyer participation. The website describes the fair as an “ultimate Buyer-Seller platform” meeting sourcing requirements “world wide,” and emphasizes that overseas buyers visit the fair every year.

• Local reach: (not specified)
• National reach (India): (not specified directly; exhibitors are “made in India”)
• Global reach: Yes (explicitly indicated by “overseas buyers” and “buyers from entire global countries”)

4️⃣ Sample buyer company names (BUYERS ONLY) + Websites

The provided official website excerpt includes registration pathways and event positioning, but it does not list named buyer companies or exhibitor/visitor rosters for overseas buyers.

Therefore, we cannot responsibly provide buyer company names from this source text alone. To complete this section accurately, we would need either:

• a published overseas buyer list, or
• the fair’s buyer registration roster (or confirmed sponsor/buyer announcements), or
• another official page that includes named buyers.

Buyer-name table:

Important: The buyer rows above are structured placeholders for titles and buyer-fit logic. For real company names + websites, we need an official buyer list or a buyer roster source.

5️⃣ Job profiles, industries & event type

Event type

IIGF is a trade fair / buyer–seller sourcing event for:

• Apparel (men’s, women’s, and kids’ wear)
• Fashion accessories
• India-sourced manufacturing (as the event highlights “made in India”)

Industries we should map for buyer profiles

• Import & Export

7️⃣ Key focus areas & buyer engagement

The fair’s message is centered on enabling buyers to source apparel and fashion accessories, meeting sourcing requirements “world wide,” and doing business worth millions of US dollars.

Key focus areas (what buyers are likely evaluating)

• Product sourcing across apparel segments (men’s, women’s, kids’ wear)
• Fashion accessories sourcing (complementary product categories)
• Supplier discovery (new entrants and established players showcasing products)
• Global buyer collaboration via overseas buyer registration
• Business conversion (the website references business “worth millions of US dollars”)

Buyer engagement approach (how we recommend we position messaging)

• “Overseas buyer and sourcing team matchmaking” framing: Since the event invites sourcing teams to network with overseas buyers and apparel manufacturers, our messaging should align with sourcing outcomes and supplier discovery.
• Category-aligned engagement: We should segment buyer targets by whether they source men’s wear, women’s wear, kids’ wear, or accessories.
• Procurement decision-maker targeting: We should prioritize titles that influence supplier selection, import decisions, vendor development, and sourcing strategy.

8️⃣ Client-product fit note + buyer recommendation process (needs client website)

We can produce a “best buyers” shortlist aligned to our client’s exact needs, but we must first review the client product fit from the client’s website. The official website excerpt does not include any information about what attendee list buyers are being purchased or what categories of buyers are most relevant for your specific product.

What we need from you

Please share your client website URL (the product/service page is enough).

What we will deliver after reviewing the website

• We will identify the buyer segments that most directly match your offering (for example: apparel brand buyers vs. importers vs. wholesale distributors vs. sourcing consultants).
• We will select the best-fit job titles (buying/procurement/sourcing/merchandising/vendor development roles where your product typically gets evaluated).
• We will map the recommended buyers to the event’s overseas buyer and sourcing-team context described by IIGF.

At this moment, we cannot “best-buyers” finalize without your client website.

9️⃣ Suggested industry mapping (using the provided industry list)

Based on the official event focus (“Apparel and Fashion Accessories” and overseas buyers), we recommend using the following industries from your available mapping list as starting points for Apollo-style filtering:

• Apparel & Fashion
• Retail
• Wholesale
• Import & Export
• Logistics & Supply Chain (only where procurement and sourcing operations intersect)
• Marketing & Advertising (only if your client sells services connected to fashion branding and campaigns; not explicitly stated by IIGF description)

If you share your client website, we will narrow these further to the exact industry combinations most likely to convert.
