Domotex Asia 2024 has once again demonstrated its commitment to fostering strong connections within the flooring industry by prioritizing the needs and experiences of flooring buyers. Recognizing that buyers are crucial to the event’s success and the fruitful participation of exhibitors, this year’s event introduced an enhanced hosted buyer program designed to streamline the supplier scouting process and provide unparalleled hospitality to selected attendees.
The 2024 hosted buyer program meticulously curated a unique hospitality package for 150 handpicked international flooring buyers from 20 countries. These buyers were granted the opportunity to engage in personalized booth visits with 80 selected exhibitors, facilitating a focused and efficient interaction environment. This strategic initiative led to over 400 matchmaking meetings, significantly boosting business opportunities and fostering robust industry connections.
Among the international participants, the event welcomed notable buyer delegations from Italy, Australia, Europe, and the USA. These delegations were organized in partnership with prominent industry associations such as Federparquet, the Italian Association of Wood Flooring Distributors and Installers; the Australasian Timber Flooring Association (ATFA); and the European American Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EA cham). These partnerships underscored the global reach and influence of Domotex Asia, drawing attention from key markets and industry leaders worldwide.
On the domestic front, Domotex Asia 2024 saw a significant turnout of over 100 local enterprise project coordinators. These coordinators represented a diverse range of organizations, including the Public Construction Branch of the China Building Decoration Association, the Interior Decoration Committee of the China Real Estate Association, and ten leading trade associations from cities such as Chongqing, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou, Jiaxing, Taizhou, and Wenzhou. Their active participation in procurement and docking activities highlighted the event’s pivotal role in driving the domestic flooring market.
In addition to these high-profile engagements, the Nanxun Furniture Industry Association played a crucial role in organizing delegation visits for dealers and building material suppliers. This initiative was supported by key industry hubs such as Jinmao Furniture Square, Golden Triangle Square, Haoyijia Furniture Square, and East China Decoration City. These delegation visits provided an invaluable platform for industry professionals to explore new business opportunities, share insights, and forge lasting partnerships.
