HONG KONG, April 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Furniture China had its 20th anniversary in September 2014. The annual fair is co-hosted by the China National Furniture Association and Shanghai UBM Sinoexpo International Exhibition Co., Ltd and is held in the second week of every September at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) and Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Centre (SWEECC) in Pudong.
Overseas buyers from more than 150 countries and regions visit the show every year. Furniture China is not only a great forum for overseas exhibitors to expand their business in the China market, but it also provides them with bountiful opportunities to export to third world countries.
Jime Essink, President & CEO of UBM Asia, said: "After 20 years of dedicated effort by the China National Furniture Association and UBM Sinoexpo, Furniture China has become one of the largest furniture exhibitions in the world and it keeps growing. As a result, Shanghai becomes the world's furniture and design hub in every September, attracting exhibitors and buyers from across the country and from all over the world. Furniture China 2015, to be held from 9 - 12 September, will be the largest ever with a total of 3,000 exhibitors (13.2% increase compared to 2014) and a total floor space of 380,000 square metres in SNIEC and World Expo (8.6% increase compared to 2014). As part of the activity program during that week, Mr. Wang Zhiping, chairman of the National Exhibition & Convention Center will visit Furniture China; I, in turn, will visit the China International Furniture Fair, which will be organised in Shanghai by CFTC in the NECC venue in the same week."
Furniture China hit a record high in 2014, attracting 98,401 visitors, including 21,823 overseas buyers from 158 countries and regions. 2,685 exhibitors presented an extensive range of the finest and most exquisite selections at the fair.
