The 27th edition of DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR will open its doors from 26 to 28 May 2025 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC – Hongqiao) in Shanghai. The largest international carpet and flooring tradeshow in Asia-Pacific, this year’s DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR will boast the theme of “More than Flooring”.
The event will deliver a comprehensive 360-degree view of the global carpet and flooring industry’s value chain. Highlighting cutting-edge innovations from across Asia while showcasing the region’s growth potential for international businesses, the show will solidify its status as the premier platform for the industry in Asia and beyond.
This year’s show takes place amid turbulent economic conditions; while these developments create uncertainty for businesses, they also underscore the need to actively seek new opportunities, innovative solutions, and strategic partnerships to navigate the emerging challenges. There is no better platform than a robust international trade show to explore new avenues for growth and discover strategies to overcome current obstacles.
“In the midst of a complex global economic and trade environment, DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR 2025 will act as a vital hub for industry professionals to forge new business connections, uncover emerging market trends, and gain insights into the evolving future of flooring,” stated David Zhong, President at GLOBUS Events, the show’s co-organiser. “China continues to play a pivotal role in the global carpet and flooring market, with scale and innovation driving the sector forward.”
A Growing International Attendance
The event has seen a steady rise in international visitation over the years, especially from East Asia, Southeast Asia, Oceania and new emerging markets. Last year’s edition welcomed 83,850 visitors from China and 116 other countries, including nearly 18,000 international attendees. Pre-registration figures suggest a similarly high level of interest for the upcoming show.
This year, the organisers will also welcome nearly 180 selected buyers from 25 different countries, with 10 country delegations organised in collaboration with national associations, media partners, and other key stakeholders. These hand-picked professionals will partake in curated activities, guided tours, and nearly 400 targeted business matchmaking sessions, designed to ensure meaningful connections and drive new opportunities across the industry.
Mr. Elvin Tay, President at Malaysian Interior Industry Partners Association (MIIP), organiser of a visitor delegation from Malaysia, stated, “MIIP is proud to bring a delegation of 16 members, which includes a strategic mix of interior designers and carpet, flooring, and interior finishings’ manufacturers and suppliers. Our delegates are eagerly looking forward to exploring the latest innovations, products, and business opportunities at the fair.
“The guided tour curated by Domotex asia is especially appreciated, as not only does it save us valuable time, but it also allows our members to connect directly with key personnel from the participating factories, fostering meaningful and productive engagements.”
