How to prepare before DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR
- Set a sourcing, project-specification or technology objective.
- Check the official exhibitor directory and floor plan when the 2027 versions are available.
- Rank targets A (essential), B (useful) and C (if time allows), by product category.
- Prepare questions about composition, finish, performance documentation, installation, maintenance, samples, minimum orders and lead times.
- Request meetings where useful, but confirm the 2027 Buyer Club and matchmaking arrangements with the organiser.
Make the most of the exhibition
Use a consistent note: Company → Product → Why relevant → Contact → Next action. For a resilient floor covering, for example, note the intended application, the performance evidence supplied and whether a sample or technical sheet is due. Treat conversations as leads for evaluation, not as completed supplier checks.
Beyond the exhibition floor
The 2026 edition included Buyer Club meetings and a floor-technology area. These are examples of previous-edition activity, not promises for 2027. Check the current programme for confirmed sessions and special areas.

Who should consider exhibiting?
Carpet and flooring manufacturers, resilient and hard-floor producers, and flooring technology suppliers fit the published product scope. Define a measurable objective—such as testing product interest or meeting distribution partners—and check current stand terms, deadlines and audience information. Exhibition participation does not guarantee business outcomes.

Flooring opportunities in China
Market context
UN Comtrade data reported through Trading Economics records China exporting US?.38 billion of carpets and other textile floor coverings in 2024. This covers textile floor coverings, not every category at the fair.
Opportunities for exhibitors
- Carpet producers may explore interest from international buyers in a market with documented textile-floor-covering exports.
- Hard-flooring, resilient-surface and technology suppliers may investigate distribution or technical partnerships, subject to their own market checks.
Opportunities for visitors
- Buyers may compare Chinese and international product ranges against their supply and project requirements.
- Distributors and specifiers can review carpet, hard and resilient products and production solutions in one sector-focused setting.
China's export activity may make the market relevant to participants assessing sourcing and distribution possibilities; fit depends on product specifications, customer demand and market-entry requirements.
