Driving Global Flooring Growth as Markets Shift
Amid ongoing trade complexities and market volatilities, China’s flooring exports are surging, particularly to emerging economies. By diversifying its export footprint, China is reducing reliance on slower-growing developed markets while tapping into the high-growth demand from new emerging regions, all while maintaining momentum in innovation, production optimization, and technological advancement.
This trend is clearly reflected at DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR. The May 2025 edition welcomed 83,056 visitors from 124 countries, marking the highest number of participating nations since the show’s inception and highlighting its growing global influence as well as China’s continued role as a hub for flooring innovation and sourcing. International attendance maintained its strong post-Covid momentum, reaching 18,121 overseas visitors, while buyers from emerging markets, including Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, recorded the most significant growth.
Each year, the show also hosts more than 200 hand-picked buyers as part of its exclusive Buyer Club, who benefit from curated programs, guided tours, and over 400 targeted business matchmaking sessions, all designed to foster meaningful connections and unlock new business opportunities.
