GUANGZHOU GATHERING CIFF (China International Furniture Fair) Guangzhou will return this March, and is all set to reassert its importance for both China’s domestic market and global export development … www.ciff.furniture
CIFF Guangzhou is the world’s largest furniture fair, and brings together the entire supply chain, fusing new products, ideas and solutions in order to meet the market’s constantly evolving needs, through online and offline opportunities and B2B meetings. Beneath the banner of ‘Design trend, global trade, entire supply chain’, the upcoming CIFF promises to significantly boost efforts to promote the entire furniture industry’s development, respond to new market needs, and offer new, concrete business opportunities for sector players. The success of last year’s CIFF Guangzhou – which recorded a visitor increase of +20.17% Yo2Y – means
there is much enthusiasm and high expectations ahead of the next edition. The 49th CIFF Guangzhou will take place in two phases, organised by product sector: the first, from 18th-21st March, will be dedicated to home furnishings, home decor and home textiles, and outdoor and leisure furniture; and the second, from 28th-31st March, will feature office furniture, furnishings for hotels, public and commercial spaces, healthcare facilities, and materials and machinery for the furniture industry. The Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou, boasting a total area of 750,000m2 of exhibition space, is expected to host more than 4000 companies and over 300,000 trade visitors this spring, and CIFF will pay particular attention to international trade. The pandemic continues to strongly influence the way relations between Chinese manufacturers and international customers are managed, and CIFF therefore intends to innovate and continue finding new solutions to further develop the network of over 200 world markets developed over 24 years of experience – offering buyers, purchasing groups and international ecommerce operators the necessary information, round-the-clock services, and an efficient one-stop sourcing platform
