(PRESS RELEASE) 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.
