Best Trade Shows in Bangladesh

19 tracked shows, ranked by exhibitor count

Bangladesh's exhibition scene is anchored by the Dhaka International Trade Fair (DITF), a month-long national showcase now permanently held at the Bangladesh–China Friendship Exhibition Center in Purbachal near Dhaka. The economy is dominated by ready-made garments, which generate roughly 80% of export earnings and make Bangladesh the world's second-largest apparel exporter. That focus shapes the trade-fair calendar: the Dhaka International Textile & Garment Machinery Exhibition (DTG) and Dye+Chem Bangladesh draw manufacturers sourcing machinery, dyes and accessories. Most events cluster in Dhaka, at venues including that exhibition center and International Convention City Bashundhara.

The Event Scout catalog currently lists 19 trade shows in Bangladesh with editions in 2026 & 2027. Together they host an estimated 4,474 exhibitors, led by BAPA-Foodpro Expo (an estimated 677 exhibitors). Sizeable exhibitor lists are already indexed for 7 of them — BAPA-Foodpro Expo (653 companies), Asia Pharma Expo (498), Garment Technology Bangladesh 2026 (246). Events run across Dhaka and Geschäfte. The tracked calendar opens with International Yarn, Fabrics & Accessories Sourcing Show of Bangladesh (13–16 Aug 2026).
