Global Flooring Connect, DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR’s online digital platform, was the main point of reference for the international exhibitors and visitors that could not make it onsite due to this year’s travel restrictions. More than 150 well-known and established, buyers, from construction engineers to traders and distribution agents were online during the three days of the show and conducted 330 meetings with around 220 of the exhibition’s onsite exhibitors.

During the exhibition, visitors could enter those, black blind boxes, and experience a new form of space design with special VR technology and physical material display.

 

Concurrent Events

As a general rising trend, real estate tends to favor the integration construction and installation both in terms of hard and soft decoration. Within this concept, relevant concurrent events taking place at neighboring exhibition Halls, at the same time as DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR 2021, complimented and increased the shows stand in the industry.

 


Interior Prefabricated Decoration (IPD) exhibition brought, very well known domestic real estate developers onsite, such as Jinmao and Jindi. They jointly presented a high-end result combining the actual construction of a prefabricated home complete with internal decoration. As a result, IPD, attracted a large number of contractors, developers, interior decorators and related suppliers onsite.

cadex, once again featured Design themed events, showcasing the latest trends in interior design and architecture through seminars, forums and talks by influential design experts. Its “Healing With Design” summit was a big hit with the audience, exploring new possibilities of commercial and architectural designs that will support a better social experience of public spaces in high-density cities. “Shaping the World with Joy”, as an all-day project show-case, explains and presents how design can bring happiness to people, even at troubling times, such as now, in an epidemic era.

 

In 2022, DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR, will launch its 24th edition from 25th to 27th of May at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Hongqiao, Shanghai. As China will be hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022, the exhibition is moved later in spring, in order to avoid any possible issues or disruptions arising during that time that could affect the exhibitors’ and visitors’ participation.  Onsite Re-booking this year for 2022 exceeded 70%, proving both the satisfaction of onsite exhibitors, as well as providing a positive forecast for the 2022 exhibition. Exhibitors interested to participate can send an application or contact the DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR sales team in order to secure their space for the next edition of the show.
