Moscow’s Premier Destination for Digital and Home Appliances
HouseTech Expo is an international exhibition dedicated entirely to digital devices and household appliances. Returning to the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre from March 17-19, 2026, this specialized event has established itself as the essential B2B platform for manufacturers, retailers, and e-commerce professionals seeking to capitalize on the growing appetite for home technology.
Where Retail Giants Meet E-Commerce Innovators
What truly distinguishes HouseTech Expo from other industry events is its strategic focus on bringing together two critical categories of buyers under one roof. The exhibition uniquely combines professional purchasers from major retail chains with active sellers from leading online marketplaces. This dual-audience approach creates unparalleled opportunities for exhibitors, offering access to both traditional wholesale channels and the rapidly expanding digital commerce ecosystem.
For exhibitors, this means the chance to connect with buyers from Russia’s most influential retail networks—including M-Video, Eldorado, DNS, Citylink, and Svyaznoy—alongside thousands of active sellers from dominant e-commerce platforms such as Ozon, Wildberries, MegaMarket, and Yandex Market. The combination of these streams opens enormous possibilities for business growth and provides participants with a unique competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving market.
A Comprehensive Showcase of Home Technology
The exhibition floor at HouseTech Expo offers a carefully curated journey through the full spectrum of home appliances and digital devices. The thematic sections cover every category of modern home technology:
- Major Kitchen Appliances: Refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, range hoods, dishwashers, gas and electric cookers, ovens, built-in appliances, and wine coolers.
- Bathroom Technology: Washing machines and tumble dryers, representing the essential laundry solutions for modern households.
- Home Care and Smart Living: Vacuum cleaners, floor care equipment, garment care systems, and comprehensive smart home solutions that are transforming how people interact with their living spaces.
- Small Kitchen Appliances: A vast category including food waste disposers, food preparation and processing equipment, coffee machines, water treatment and purification systems, juicers, kettles, thermopots, and electric frying pans.
- Beauty and Health Devices: Cosmetic refrigerators, shaving and hair trimming equipment, health and hygiene products, hair styling tools, and facial and body care devices.
- Climate Control Equipment: Air purifiers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, fans, ventilation systems, heaters, air conditioners, water heaters, boilers, fireplaces, weather stations, and all related accessories.
This comprehensive scope ensures that HouseTech Expo serves as a one-stop destination for buyers seeking to discover the latest innovations across the entire home technology landscape.
A Growing International Platform
The international character of HouseTech Expo continues to strengthen with each edition. For 2026, more than 200 participants from Russia, the Republic of Belarus, Turkey, and China are planning to showcase their newest products and demonstrate examples of all types of large and small household appliances. This growing international participation reflects the exhibition’s rising importance as a gateway to the Russian market for global manufacturers.
The event’s scale is amplified by its integration into the larger HouseHold Expo expoplex, which encompasses 12 concurrent specialized exhibitions running simultaneously at Crocus Expo. This co-location creates powerful cross-traffic of targeted professional visitors, allowing a buyer attending HouseTech Expo to easily explore complementary categories at sister exhibitions such as Stylish Home (premium decor), Outdoor Dacha (garden living), and Zoo ExpoPlace (pet products). The synergy significantly enhances the value proposition for both exhibitors and visitors.
Beyond the Exhibition Floor: A Dynamic Business Program
HouseTech Expo is far more than a static display of products; it is a dynamic hub for industry dialogue, deal-making, and professional development. The comprehensive business program includes several key initiatives designed to maximize value for participants:
- Buyer Program – B2B Negotiations “Buyer-Supplier”: Organized, pre-arranged meetings that facilitate direct dialogue between exhibitors and key purchasing decision-makers from major retail chains and wholesale companies.
- Consulting Center Partnership Program: A dedicated service offering expert advice on entering marketplaces and retail chains, selecting reliable foreign partners for contract manufacturing, certification and quality determination, financing foreign economic activity, logistics, and optimal delivery options.
- International Conference on Marketplace Operations: Focused sessions providing practical insights for manufacturers and brands seeking to maximize their presence on leading e-commerce platforms.
- Novelty Gallery: A dedicated exhibition zone where exhibitors can showcase products released within the last calendar year to maximum visibility, with each item labeled by QR code linking back to the exhibitor’s stand. This initiative ensures that the latest innovations receive the attention they deserve from buyers actively seeking new product lines.
- “Retailer’s Choice” Award: A competition in the format of a “secret shopper” involving buyers from the largest federal and regional retail chains, providing invaluable recognition and exposure for winning products.
Additionally, the All-Russian Forum of Non-Food Market Professionals “NON-FOOD-SKU” will be held within the framework of the exhibition, bringing together industry experts to share insights and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the sector.
