MosBuild 2026 is emerging as a strategic gateway to Russia’s $260 billion construction market, as suppliers and contractors increasingly look to regional partners to meet demand across building materials, interiors, and infrastructure.
Set to take place from March 31 to April 3, 2026, at Crocus Expo IEC in Moscow, the 31st edition of MosBuild comes at a pivotal moment for the industry, offering manufacturers and solution providers direct access to Russia’s vast construction ecosystem and thousands of high-level decision-makers. Organisers expect the 2026 show to be the largest in its history, reflecting the growing importance of the exhibition as a deal-making and market-entry platform for Eurasia.
Since its launch in 1995, MosBuild has evolved into the region’s most influential international exhibition for construction, renovation, architecture, and interior design. Each year, it connects producers of building materials, sanitary ware, furniture, and interior solutions with wholesalers, retailers, construction companies, property developers, and design professionals from across Russia and neighbouring markets.
In 2025, the exhibition attracted 80,748 professionals from 86 Russian regions, underlining its role as a central marketplace for the construction and interiors industry. According to organisers, 93% of attendees influenced purchasing decisions, while 85% visited to discover new products and industry insights, and 45% were first-time visitors.
Turkish construction expertise in rising demand
Against the backdrop of shifting global supply chains, Turkish construction expertise is gaining renewed traction in Russia, particularly in sectors such as sanitary ware, ceramics, and building chemicals, where demand for alternatives to Western European brands has increased.
Data from Türkiye’s Trade Ministry (January 2026) shows that the Turkish construction sector undertook international projects worth $6.2 billion in the first half of 2025 alone. The CIS region accounted for 43.2% of this total, with Russia remaining the top destination for Turkish contractors.
To date, Turkish firms have delivered over $103 billion worth of projects in Russia, reflecting long-standing commercial ties and technical collaboration. Industry observers expect this momentum to continue into 2026, driven by Russian urban transformation programmes and large-scale infrastructure development across Eurasia.
Platform for deals, insight, and influence
MosBuild provides companies with direct access to more than 80,700 decision-makers, allowing them to bypass traditional supply chain bottlenecks and establish relationships with buyers actively seeking new suppliers and long-term partners.
Organisers describe MosBuild as more than an exhibition, positioning it as a business acceleration platform for companies seeking market entry or expansion in Russia.
Key highlights for 2026 include:
* Direct engagement with wholesale, retail, construction, and architectural leaders
* Opportunities to fast-track partnerships and secure on-the-ground market feedback
* Access to real-time market insights on trends shaping Russia’s construction and interiors sector
* Enhanced media exposure and thought leadership opportunities for exhibitors
With Russia’s construction sector continuing to evolve and regional partnerships gaining importance, MosBuild 2026 is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping cross-border collaboration and industry growth in the year ahead. - TradeArabia News Service
