On March 10, 2026, Hometex Shenzhen came to a successful end at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center (Futian). Co-hosted by the Textile & Garment Chamber of Commerce, All-China Federation of Industry & Commerce (TGCC), Guangdong Home Textile and Decoration Association and Informa Markets, and organized by Shenzhen Boao Exhibition Co., Ltd., Hometex Shenzhen is a benchmark for China’s soft furnishing industry.
Despite the complex global economy and ongoing changes in China’s real estate market, the exhibition showed strong industry resilience. It covered 100,000 square meters, hosted nearly 900 top industrial chain exhibitors, and welcomed nearly 40,000 professional visitors. This strengthened its position as a key platform for China’s soft furnishing industry to connect with global resources.
Nearly 900 Exhibitors Forge a Full-Industry-Chain Ecosystem for Soft Furnishings
Hometex Shenzhen has evolved from showing single products to focusing on an integrated soft furnishing, holistic living and smart ecosystem. It featured 7 themed halls and nearly 900 industrial chain exhibitors. Its product range includes curtain textiles, intelligent sun shading, wall materials and more — from basic decorative supplies to high-end custom solutions, and from traditional soft furnishings to smart, eco-friendly products. This meets the needs of all upstream and downstream links in the industry.
A one-stop industrial ecosystem — covering material supply, design R&D and market sales — was established. It provides enterprises with a high-quality platform to show their core strengths and explore global business opportunities.
Global Resources Converge: Hometex Shenzhen Boosts International Impact
With the support of Informa Markets’ global exhibition resources, Hometex Shenzhen 2026 attracted 1,506 overseas professional visitors from around the world. These visitors came from Asian markets (Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia), European markets (Russia, Western and Central Europe), as well as key countries in the Americas, Africa and Oceania.
Buyer delegations and professional associations from Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Taiwan China also made special trips to participate in trade matching and industry exchanges. This fully reflects the exhibition’s ability to gather global resources and its international influence in the sector.
40+ Events & Targeted Matching: Delivering Tangible Trade Results
More than 40 high-quality concurrent events were held during Hometex Shenzhen, including industry trend releases, design dialogues, industry forums and business matching sessions. Global design experts, industry scholars and enterprise leaders gathered to discuss key topics: the soft furnishing industry’s development in the real estate stock era, smart home trends, and the value reshaping of soft furnishing design. This helped build consensus for industry growth.
Notably, Hometex Shenzhen 2026 launched its first Business Matchmaking Zone, a one-on-one targeted procurement channel for global buyers. Over 90 international buyers took part in more than 220 customized matching sessions. This allowed them to connect efficiently with top exhibitors, meet their procurement needs, and build supply chain partnerships — creating a direct global trade bridge for both supply and demand sides in the soft furnishing industry.
Industry Resilience Shines Bright; 2027 Hometex Shenzhen Announced
China’s real estate industry has entered the stock era. Cautious consumer confidence has put the soft furnishing industry at a critical stage of transformation and upgrading. The lively trade atmosphere and active negotiations at the exhibition eased market uncertainty, and confirmed the industry’s inherent resilience and market potential.
Integrated soft furnishing and holistic living have become key paths for the industry’s upgrade. Through its full industrial chain layout, targeted business matching and global resource integration, Hometex Shenzhen has injected continuous momentum into this transformation.
Hometex Shenzhen 2027 will be held again at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center (Futian) from March 7 to 10, 2027. With a larger scale, more forward-looking industry insights and more precise trade services, the exhibition will continue to build a one-stop global platform for soft furnishing material selection and business matching. It will also work with global partners to create a new model for future living environments. Please stay tuned!
