Best Trade Shows in Iran

23 tracked shows, ranked by exhibitor count

Iran holds some of the world's largest proven oil and natural-gas reserves and ranks among the top nations for both, though international sanctions have constrained its trade-fair activity and foreign participation. Its economy leans heavily on crude oil, natural gas and a substantial petrochemicals industry, alongside traditional exports such as carpets, pistachios and other agricultural goods. Exhibitions are concentrated in the capital at the Tehran International Permanent Fairground. Flagship events include the Iran Oil Show, one of the region's largest energy exhibitions; Iran Plast for plastics and petrochemicals; and the long-running Tehran International Book Fair.

Event Scout currently tracks 23 trade shows in Iran with editions in 2026 & 2027. Together they host an estimated 542 exhibitors, led by IFOOD EXPO (an estimated 164 exhibitors).
