The countdown to the show begins!
DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR, the largest dedicated international flooring exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region, will return to Shanghai’s National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) from 26–28 May 2025 for its 27th edition. Carpet and flooring buyers from all over the world can visit the event free of charge by registering online at the dedicated portal.

As in the previous editions, the show will be part of ‘Build Asia Mega Show’, an eco-system of various co-located relevant events, such as R+T Asia (the leading Asia-Pacific exhibition for sun shading systems and doors/gates), Cadex (an event dedicated to contract, design and architecture community) and others. This unique platform aims to create synergies and facilitate the conversation across different industries, enabling cross-visitation and providing opportunities for exposure to new channels in the broader construction, building materials and interior design sectors.

This year’s event is set to solidify its position as the leading global hub for flooring innovations, trade, and networking, attracting over 1,600 exhibitors from 40+ countries and 83,000+ professional buyers from 110+ markets. Spanning more than 200,000 square meters across 7 dedicated halls, DACF 2025 will showcase the entire spectrum of the flooring industry.
Hard flooring—including wood, laminate, bamboo, and outdoor decking—will dominate four halls, while FLOORTECH Asia will highlight cutting-edge technologies in raw materials, machinery, and installation solutions. The event’s iconic carpet segment, occupying two halls, will feature everything from handmade luxury carpets to machine-made commercial solutions as well as showcase its entire supply chain.

As a world-leading event dedicated to the floorcovering industries, DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR strives to provide its esteemed participants with unparalleled networking opportunities and business resources. Its recently launched Buyer Club is an exclusive platform designed specifically for flooring importers, distributors, agents or retailers with decision-making authority and set budgets for placing orders during the event. The Buyer Club fosters high-level networking and engagement through tailored activities that enhance members’ experience at the event.
Buyers accepted in the program will enjoy exclusive benefits such as free hotel accommodation, VIP status, business matching arrangements as well as exclusive networking and entertainment opportunities.
