Home Show Vietnam 2027: visitor guide

Home Show Vietnam, the International Houseware and Gift Fair Vietnam, is scheduled for 12–14 May 2027 at Hall A1, Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), 799 Nguyen Van Linh, Tan Phu Ward, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The organiser lists opening hours as 09:00–17:00 on 12–13 May and 09:00–16:00 on 14 May. The show presents an offline and online format and is co-located with Hardware Fair Vietnam 2027. Check current visitor registration and arrival information before attending.

The 2027 organiser page describes nine product categories and currently lists more than 600 expected booths, 13,000 m² of space and 14,000+ visitors. Treat those as the organiser’s current planning figures; they are not final audited attendance results. The most recent previous-edition report located for this guide records 13,417 professional visitors from 37 countries in 2025.

Why Home Show Vietnam matters to home-product buyers

Compare a broad range

The fair combines everyday housewares with decoration, textiles, gifts, outdoor products, electronics, smart-home goods and home healthcare. Buyers can use the category breadth to compare product ranges and consider how they fit a store, wholesale catalogue or sourcing plan.

Review products with supply questions in mind

For each promising item, record the material, intended use, dimensions, packaging, care information, product documentation and supply questions that matter to your channel. A display can help you identify a candidate; it does not establish commercial terms, product compliance or delivery capacity.

Use previous-edition figures as context

The 2025 post-show report records 13,417 professional visitors from 37 countries. This is an actual previous-edition figure, not a forecast for 2027. The 2027 site lists more than 600 expected booths and 14,000+ visitors; confirm how the organiser defines these figures as updated materials are released.

Who should visit Home Show Vietnam?

The strongest reason to attend depends on whether you are sourcing products, expanding a retail assortment, presenting a range or reviewing connected home-product categories.

Retail buyers and purchasing teams

Useful if you need to compare products for a defined customer group. Focus on category gaps, product quality information, packaging, assortment fit and supplier follow-up. Prepare a shortlist so the range does not become an unstructured browsing exercise.

Importers and distributors

Useful if you evaluate manufacturers and exporters for a target market. Ask about product specifications, documentation, order conditions, packaging and after-sales support. Check local market-entry and compliance requirements independently for each product type.

Manufacturers and exporters

Useful if you want to present homewares or gifts to trade visitors and explore possible channel conversations. Clarify which categories and customer segments you serve, what differentiates the range and which type of distribution relationship you are seeking.

Product developers and home-lifestyle businesses

Useful if you track materials, colour, design, product functions or connected-home ideas. Compare products against actual customer or project needs rather than treating every trend display as a buying priority.

What can you find at Home Show Vietnam?

The official 2027 overview lists nine categories:

• Kitchenware and household: kitchen and tableware, sanitary and cleaning products, storage and organisation, bathroom supplies, pet products and daily consumables.
• Home decoration: decorative products and accessories for residential spaces.
• Home textiles: household textile products.
• Gifts and office stationery: gift, craft and office-related products.
• Holiday and party: seasonal and celebration merchandise.
• Gardening and outdoor: garden, outdoor and leisure products.
• Appliances and electronics: household and consumer electronic products.
• Smart home: connected and intelligent home products.
• Home healthcare: products for home-based health and care needs.

The organiser also describes an online component alongside the physical exhibition. Check the current digital-show product and exhibitor listings to see which company information is available before and after the fair.

What makes Home Show Vietnam different?

The show combines a wide home-product assortment with an online browsing component. The organiser positions the fair around manufacturers, exporters, importers, distributors and global buyers, with nine stated categories and a digital-show function. The 2027 edition is also co-located with Hardware Fair Vietnam, which may be useful for visitors whose sourcing remit includes both household products and tools.

The digital format can help visitors identify products and companies to investigate, while in-person attendance allows them to inspect items and ask suppliers questions directly. Treat online descriptions as a starting point and verify product details with the exhibitor.

Choose a measurable sourcing objective

If you are a retailer

Set a goal such as: identify five products that fill a defined category gap and compare their materials, packaging and supplier requirements. Decide which customer segment and price position you are reviewing before you browse.

If you import or distribute

Set a goal such as: shortlist manufacturers in two priority categories and record the documentation, order terms and local compliance questions that must be resolved. A meeting is an opportunity to assess a possible fit, not a guarantee of a distribution agreement.

If you develop home products

Choose a design or functional question—for example, compare storage approaches, textiles or smart-home features against a real customer requirement. Record what is directly observable and what needs follow-up with a technical specification.

How to prepare before Home Show Vietnam

1. Define your categories

Select the product groups most relevant to your business. Separate must-source categories from exploratory interests so you can give enough time to the products with a clear purpose.

2. Use the digital show and exhibitor information

The organiser provides digital-show product and exhibitor sections. Use the current listings to mark companies or product groups for follow-up, then verify whether the same information is available for the 2027 edition.

3. Build an A/B/C target list

Mark A companies as essential, B as useful and C as optional. Where possible, note the product category and your reason for speaking with each supplier. Leave room for new discoveries without abandoning the list.

4. Prepare home-product questions

• What materials, dimensions and care requirements apply?
• Which product standards or test documents are available?
• What packaging, labelling and language options can be discussed?
• What are the minimum order, lead-time and replenishment conditions?
• How does the supplier support product changes or quality issues?
• For appliances and smart-home goods, what compatibility and technical information should be checked?
• For textiles and home healthcare, what composition or performance documentation is relevant?

5. Plan your time by hall and category

The venue is SECC, and the 2027 listing names Hall A1. Use the organiser’s latest floor plan and exhibitor directory to create a practical route. Confirm arrival and registration arrangements before travelling.

How to use your time at the fair

For each product or supplier, note company → category → product and customer fit → specification or documentation needed → next step. Photograph or record product details only where permitted. If you compare several similar items, use the same questions for each one so you can evaluate them after the visit.

Use the online product information to shortlist exhibitors, then use the physical show to inspect material, finish, size and function where these can be assessed directly. Keep a separate list of claims that require written confirmation.

Digital tools and programme

The organiser offers digital-show sections for products and exhibitors, alongside visitor registration and a fringe-programme page. The next edition’s detailed fringe programme was not confirmed in the material reviewed. Check the current event site for updated sessions and online product listings before choosing your visit days.

If you are primarily a buyer, use programme time only when it supports a sourcing or product-learning objective. If you are an exhibitor, identify which sessions or digital materials may help the right trade audience understand your range.

Networking with a purpose

Prepare a short introduction that states your business, target category and customer or market. Ask suppliers focused questions about product details, sourcing conditions and documentation. Before ending a useful conversation, agree what information each side will provide and when to follow up.

For buyers comparing many suppliers, note the reason each company is on the shortlist. For exhibitors, record the visitor’s category and requested next step rather than relying on a badge scan alone.

One day or all three?

One day may be enough if you have a short list and a few high-priority categories. Two or three days may help if your remit covers several of the nine categories, the digital and physical formats, or the co-located hardware show. Choose based on the confirmed exhibitor list, floor plan and programme rather than trying to visit every category equally.

After Home Show Vietnam: evaluate before ordering

Sort leads into A (immediate product or order questions), B (potential suppliers) and C (market ideas). Request specifications, samples or documentation where appropriate, then compare them against your customer, compliance and supply needs. Record who owns each follow-up and a date to review the response.

For products that require certification, electrical compatibility, safety or care information, obtain the applicable documents and review them for the target market before making a decision. A promising display or conversation is only the beginning of supplier evaluation.

Who should consider exhibiting at Home Show Vietnam?

The organiser positions the event for houseware and gift manufacturers, exporters, importers, distributors and buyers. It may suit companies with a clear product category and a defined reason to meet trade visitors.

• Houseware producers can identify the retail or distribution channels they want to reach.
• Gift and craft businesses can prepare a concise range story and product information.
• Home textile and decoration suppliers can present materials, sizes and care details clearly.
• Appliance and smart-home companies can make compatibility and technical documentation easy to review.
• Gardening, outdoor and home-healthcare providers can explain their intended user and product requirements.

The organiser’s exhibitor service provides current participation information; check conditions and availability with the event team.

Is Home Show Vietnam worth visiting?

The fair is most useful for retailers, importers and distributors with a defined home-product category or assortment question, and for exhibitors seeking relevant trade conversations. The nine-category mix allows a broad review, while the digital product and company listings can help visitors prepare. The most recent reported attendance found for this guide was 13,417 professional visitors in 2025; the organiser’s 2027 figures are planning indicators, not final outcomes. A focused list and careful product verification make the visit more actionable.

Home Show Vietnam 2027 at a glance

The dates, venue and categories are listed by the organiser. The 2025 visitor total is historical; 2027 booth and visitor information should be treated as organiser-listed planning figures.

Make sourcing decisions with a clear next step

Before leaving each promising conversation, know what product information you still need, who will provide it and how you will assess fit. Use the exhibition to compare options, then follow through on specifications, compliance and supply details. Explore. Compare. Verify. Source. Follow up.

Houseware and gift opportunities in Vietnam

Market context

The organiser’s market overview for Home Show Vietnam reports that consumer goods account for around 10.2% of Vietnam’s total imports, that high-end home products rely substantially on imports, and that household consumption is projected to grow by an average of 9.4% annually from 2026 to 2030. These are organiser-reported market indicators and projections, not independently verified forecasts of demand for any particular product.

Opportunities for exhibitors

Manufacturers and exporters may use the fair to explore conversations with local importers, distributors and buyers about premium housewares, home decoration, appliances or smart-home ranges. Product fit, documentation, pricing and distribution requirements need to be assessed by category and partner.

Opportunities for visitors

Retailers and sourcing teams could compare imported and locally relevant product ranges, review suppliers across the nine categories and consider how household goods or gifts might fit their channels. The organiser’s market overview is a starting point for questions, not proof that a product will find buyers.

Vietnam may be worth considering for businesses whose home-product categories match the consumer and import context described by the organiser. Suitability depends on product requirements, competition, compliance and the participant’s distribution strategy.
