A key international sourcing hub for the full carpet and flooring ecosystem
The show will offer a comprehensive sourcing platform spanning the entire carpet and flooring value chain, from raw materials and production technologies to finished products and application solutions.
As a core feature, the carpet sector will occupy two halls and host around 550 companies and brands from all over the world. It will showcase the full spectrum of carpet manufacturing, from handmade and machine-made carpets to rugs, carpet tiles, mats, as well as the complete production supply chain, including raw materials, machinery, and advanced carpet production technologies.
Notably, the Coir Board of India will make its debut in this area, presenting a dedicated country pavilion showcasing some of India’s finest products. At the same time, the Red Note (Xiaohongshu) curated area will showcase a selection of handmade carpets through an innovative exhibition format that blends product display with an enhanced programme of talks, trend releases, influencer-led tours, and more.
The resilient flooring sector, one of the exhibition’s most prominent segments, will once again play a central role in 2026, featuring over 450 companies and brands. Meanwhile, the wood flooring segment will bring together 400 leading exhibitors, presenting a diverse portfolio ranging from solid and engineered wood to laminate, bamboo, and cork flooring. The wood halls will also host the European pavilion, which includes leading European brands such as Kronospan, Neuhofer, and Stauf.
Additionally, Cadex, the co-located event dedicated to contractors, architects, and designers, will host its main summit, “Sense It! Design and Sensory Economy”, as well as a series of seminars, talks, and panel discussions. Together, the wood and resilient flooring sectors will occupy four halls, showcasing the latest innovations and most advanced hard flooring solutions.
The Floor Tech sector will highlight the full manufacturing supply chain across more than 20,000 square metres, with over 200 exhibitors. It will reflect the growing demand for intelligent and customised production systems, featuring advanced equipment designed for energy efficiency, high performance, precision, and flexible small-batch manufacturing.
From “Made in China” to Chinese brands: rising quality and global competitiveness
DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR 2026 will allow participants to witness firsthand the continued transformation of China’s flooring industry from manufacturing-led production to globally recognised brands. This evolution reflects a broader shift toward higher quality, stronger design capabilities, and greater value creation across the sector, reinforcing the growing international competitiveness and credibility of Chinese manufacturers.
The Chinese exhibitors will present evolving global strategies, including the increasingly adopted “China headquarters + overseas bases” model, enabling greater flexibility, resilience, and responsiveness in a changing global market. Leading companies will also highlight progress in brand building, product innovation, and channel development, underscoring their long-term international ambitions.
Simultaneously, sustainability, which continues to drive China’s flooring industry innovation, will be emphasised strongly. With rising consumer awareness and stricter scrutiny of indoor materials, demand for safer and environmentally friendly solutions is increasing rapidly in China. This shift reflects a broader move toward low-impact materials and alignment with evolving regulatory standards and expectations for transparency and safety.
As the flagship exhibition for the Asia-Pacific flooring industry, DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR 2026 will continue to leverage the region’s strong industrial base to deliver a highly efficient and reliable supply chain ecosystem. It will connect the global demand with the strengths of the Asian manufacturers, showcasing their end-to-end industry capabilities and strategic market positioning.
