The 27th edition of DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR, the largest international carpet and flooring tradeshow in Asia-Pacific, will open its doors from May 26 to 28, 2025 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC – Hongqiao) in Shanghai.
Held under the theme “More than Flooring,” the event will deliver a comprehensive 360-degree view of the global carpet and flooring industry’s entire value chain. It will highlight cutting-edge innovations from across Asia, while showcasing the region’s growth potential for international businesses, further solidifying the show’s status as the premier platform for the industry in Asia and beyond.
This year’s show takes place amid turbulent economic conditions, with newly imposed tariffs disrupting trade relations among major global economies. While these developments are creating uncertainty for businesses, they also underscore the need to actively seek new opportunities, innovative solutions, and strategic partnerships to navigate the emerging challenges. In this context, 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. China continues to play a pivotal role in the global carpet and flooring market, with scale and innovation driving the sector forward.” – stated David Zhong, President at GLOBUS Events, show’s co-organizer.

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.”
