Press Release, May 2025
Furniture China, Asia’s key furniture trade event, has announced its landmark 2026 edition, set to transform the industry landscape with a bold new strategic vision.
Scheduled for 7-11 September 2026, the event—together with Maison Shanghai—will span 350,000 m² across 50 halls in Pudong, offering global professionals five days of product innovation, design excellence and international business opportunities.
With strengthened international participation and curated zone planning, Furniture China 2026 (8-11 September, SNIEC) expands beyond its traditional core of upholstered and dining furniture. New dedicated areas will spotlight a larger Outdoor Furniture Hall featuring stylish, functional designs, alongside a spectacular Commercial Contract Furniture section presenting premium office solutions from leading brands and emerging exhibitors.
Co-located FMC Premium China (FMP) will again unite manufacturers and material innovators, showcasing advanced techniques and cutting-edge design that harmonize aesthetics with functionality.
“After 30 years of serving the global furniture community, we’re entering a new chapter with sharper strategic focus and market responsiveness,” said Mrs. Stella Zhong, CEO and Head of Furniture China. “Our 2026 edition is a dynamic platform designed to anticipate industry shifts, enables export trade with supply-chain excellence and create unprecedented opportunities for international buyers.”
Industry confidence remains strong, with 90% of key exhibitors already rebooked, including several international and domestic brands—Ashley, AICO, HTL, AHOME, ENOVA, Fursys, and more— make their return to the exhibition this year.
