The 15th edition of Vietnam International Furniture & Home Accessories Fair (VIFA EXPO 2024) took place from 26-29 February, firing the starting pistol on the South-East Asian furniture exhibition season.
VIFA EXPO 2024 attracted 13,149 visitors including 5,262 international visitors from 72 countries and territories, primarily from China, India, USA, Australia, Europe, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea and Singapore. This edition saw a significant percentage of international buyers, with 66% from Asia, 14% from Europe, 11% from the Americas, 8% from Oceania and 1% from Africa.
The show was supported by a series of initiatives covering everything from transportation to accommodation, including complimentary hotel stays for VIP buyers; airport support service; shuttle bus service; discounts of 20%–50% on stays at official hotels of VIFA EXPO 2024 and factory visits.
Following the success of VIFA ASEAN 2023, VIFA EXPO’s organiser will hold the second edition of VIFA ASEAN from 27–30 August 2024, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center. VIFA ASEAN 2024 aims to expand its scale and plans to attract more than 400 exhibitors.
VIFA ASEAN’s vision is to gather South East Asian furniture suppliers in Vietnam, so that international buyers just need to visit Ho Chi Minh City to meet all neighbouring countries, as well as making Ho Chi Minh City the furniture trade hub of the Asia region in the future.
The 16th edition of VIFA EXPO will take place from 5–8 March 2025 with the theme of One Show – Two Venues – Double Power, as the show expands from the Sky Expo Vietnam to include the SECC.
With an estimated scale of over 3,000 booths, VIFA EXPO 2025 promises to
be the largest and most prestigious exhibition in Vietnam and the region.
