Returning from March 31 to April 3, 2026, the 31st international exhibition has solidified its reputation as the largest and most significant B2B platform for construction, renovation, architecture, and interior design in Russia, the CIS, and Eastern Europe.
As the industry navigates a new economic reality with shifting supply chains and growing regional partnerships, MosBuild 2026 emerges as a strategic gateway to Russia’s $260 billion construction market, offering manufacturers and solution providers direct access to thousands of high-level decision-makers.
A Legacy of Excellence: Three Decades at the Summit
Since its launch in 1995, MosBuild has evolved into the region’s most influential international exhibition for the construction and interiors sector. The 2025 edition marked a historic milestone: the 30th anniversary exhibition shattered multiple records, with exhibition space exceeding 100,000 square meters across nine halls in three pavilions of Crocus Expo.
The 2025 results were remarkable: 1,370 companies from 20 countries participated, welcoming 80,748 professional visitors—a new record in the exhibition’s three-decade history. The number of thematic sections expanded to 17, including two new sectors: “Landscaping” and “Fireplaces”. Notably, more than 700 companies participated for the first time, underscoring MosBuild’s continued appeal to new market entrants.

Against the backdrop of shifting global supply chains, Turkish construction expertise is gaining renewed traction in Russia.

To date, Turkish firms have delivered over $103 billion worth of projects in Russia.
Chinese manufacturers remain a dominant force, with Chinese exhibitors consistently well-represented. The exhibition is actively promoted by Chinese exhibition agencies as a primary gateway to the Russian market. The presence of international pavilions from multiple countries underscores MosBuild’s role as a bridge between global manufacturers and Russian buyers.

Nurturing Talent: The MADA Awards
A highlight of MosBuild is the annual MosBuild Architecture & Design Awards (MADA) ceremony, recognizing outstanding architectural and interior projects created by a new generation of professionals.
The awards provide emerging architects and designers with a platform to present their ideas to the industry, fostering professional growth through expert evaluation and broad industry attention. This commitment to nurturing young talent reflects MosBuild’s role as a comprehensive industry ecosystem, not merely a trade show.
Beyond the Exhibition: The MosBuild Ecosystem
MosBuild has evolved beyond a four-day event into a year-round professional ecosystem designed to ensure continuous interaction between manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, construction companies, architects, and designers.
MosBuild Connect is an online business community for construction and interior industry professionals, enabling year-round networking, news sharing, market analysis, and online events. Through webinars, lectures, master classes, and interviews with renowned designers and architects, participants can establish business contacts, stay current with market trends, and promote their products and services 365 days a year.
New Identity for a New Era
For the post-anniversary season, MosBuild has unveiled a new visual identity, created by Artemy Lebedev’s studio. The updated branding will be featured throughout the 31st exhibition, including in the design of the Decorium lecture hall and MosBuild Connect Studio, symbolizing the exhibition’s continued evolution and relevance.
Market Context: Russia’s Booming Construction Sector
MosBuild‘s significance must be understood within the context of Russia’s substantial and growing construction market, valued at $260 billion. Russian demand for new housing remains strong, with recent years seeing residential construction volumes equivalent to the previous decade or even two decades combined.
The aging of existing building stock, combined with limited variety in domestic building materials, creates significant import demand. Chinese building products, in particular, enjoy strong popularity due to their favorable price-quality ratio.
The Venue: Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre
MosBuild 2026 takes place at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre in Moscow, a modern complex with extensive facilities for international exhibitions. The event occupies Pavilions 1, 2, and 3, providing ample space for the massive showcase.
Registration and Practical Details
Attendance at MosBuild 2026 is open to trade professionals, with online registration already available. A promotional code MB26UAR offered by the Union of Architects of Russia provides free electronic tickets.
Exhibition hours span four full days from March 31 to April 3, 2026.
The Verdict: An Unmissable Industry Gathering
For any professional serious about the construction and interior design market in Russia and Eurasia, MosBuild 2026 is an unmissable event. With its 31-year legacy, its position as the largest exhibition in Eastern Europe, its comprehensive sector coverage, its unparalleled concentration of decision-makers, and its rich business program, it offers an unmatched platform for business development and market intelligence.
As Stepan Bugaev, founder of “Tochka Dizayna” studio and curator at HSE Design School, observes: “Expectations from MosBuild are the most serious. Every year we see more and more interesting stands and novelties, both local and global brands. The emotional impact of visiting the exhibition is powerful, and it grows stronger each year. At MosBuild, we acquire new partners, with the opportunity to discuss all issues at the level of company leaders. I also recommend the business program—it’s always a discussion of current issues, fresh perspectives, and professional experience. Every time after the exhibition, I become a little cooler, I’m sure of it”.
For four days in spring, Moscow’s Crocus Expo becomes the epicenter of Russian construction and design—where the future of building is on display and where the partnerships that will shape tomorrow’s built environment are forged.
