There are just three months to go until the leading flooring exhibition in the Asia-pacific region
Few trade shows come close to the sheer scale of DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR, which last year welcomed more than 80,000 visitors. As it prepares for its 27th edition, it is anticipated that this will be its biggest yet, with over 1600 exhibitors from more than forty countries expected to exhibit across seven halls at the National Convention and Exhibition Center in Shanghai. Centered around the theme ‘More than Flooring’, the show will explore the carpet and flooring world from all angles, showcasing a wide variety of the most innovative products and cutting-edge technologies.
The carpet and rug sector will, as always, be the heart of the event. Xiuli Wang, Secretary General of China Carpet Industry Association, explains that ‘the show has been a perfect window for our Chinese carpet companies to showcase their innovative offers to the world’, adding that it ‘has also helped many international carpet brands tap into the opportunities that our market offers.’ Exhibiting rug companies will occupy two halls, with Bikaner, Bulckaert, Dongsheng, Elite, Haima, Home Value, Kingtex, Paulig, Ruixin, Standard Carpets, Shree Mahesh and Voxfloor all returning this year.
After more than twenty years of successful collaboration, the co-organisers of DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR, Globus Events and Hannover Milano Fairs China, have agreed to establish DACF Exhibitions Shanghai Ltd, leveraging the combined expertise of both parties to maximum effect for the upcoming edition.
Registration for the May 2025 show is now open on the DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR website.
