More than 1,600 companies and brands from over 30 different countries exhibited, both traditional and innovative flooring products, at DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR, in an extended gross area of 200,000 square metres spread throughout 7 halls. The event was held from July 26-28 at the Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Centre (NECC).
The total number of visitors beat any prediction and reached 83,594, the highest since the show's birth. The attendance from overseas visitors reached 95 per cent of the already record edition in 2019. More than 14,000 international visitors came from over 110 countries. The high presence of the international participants, both as exhibitors and visitors, reconfirmed that China remains an important hub for the international trade in the flooring industry and the confidence in the region has returned, the organiser said in a press release.
DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR 2023 took place, as in the past, in co-location with R+T Asia – the leading trade fair for the sun shading and door/gate industry in the APAC region, cadex – the international event for connecting, learning and doing business in the design and architecture industry - and others, under the roof of Build Asia Mega Show - a vibrant ecosystem representing the diverse facets of the construction, building materials and interior design industries, in a platform which fosters the cross-industry communication and multi-channel integration.
From an exhibitor point of view, our participation was very successful. We met most of our old customers and made some important new contacts as well. This platform continues to be a global market place which does not represent China only, but the entire Asian market and beyond. Despite the difficulties and challenges, flooring professionals from all over the world decided to come to the show, proving once again that this is a hub which allows them to do great business in Asia’s major flooring markets.
DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR will return at the Shanghai NECC again from May 28-30, 2024.
