Innovative solutions presented by the exhibitors and trends proposed by the designers to
improve the quality of all living and work environments, design events and conferences
organised by CIFF in order to provide inspiration to industry professionals and create
moments of encounter, communication and sharing, the organisation of a concrete 'one
stop' business platform which aims to sustain both the Chinese internal market and global
commerce, are all at the root of CIFF Guangzhou 2021's incredible success.
The numbers speak for themselves. +20.17% of visitors compared to CIFF Guangzhou
2019, the last edition held over two phases before the pandemic. It was truly difficult to
imagine an increase of this size in times as difficult as these, which have, among other
things, resulted in the limited presence of foreign visitors at the exhibition.
Having concluded on 31 March after a total of 8 days (4 for the first phase and 4 for the
second), the 47th CIFF Guangzhou occupied 750,000 square metres of exhibition space,
divided among almost 4,000 exhibitors, and attracted 357,809 qualified trade visitors.
A huge, innovative, progressive, and futuristic event. The only one in the world that
gathers the entire furniture sector under one roof, an event capable of creating strong
synergy between the Chinese internal market and the international markets and
integrating both events and business matching at the exhibition with activities on the
online CIFF Cloud platform (which obtained around 7.6 million views) and the CIFF mini
APP (which registered 2.36 million logins), pursuing the objective of making collaboration
between exhibitors and visitors more profitable, while also giving special consideration to
foreign buyers who are currently unable to participate in CIFF.
As Mr. Xu Xiangnan, chairman of the China National Furniture Association, has stated, the
47th CIFF Guangzhou 2021 has actively promoted the coordinated development of the
entire industrial chain and has given a strong impetus for the evolution of companies in the
sector during the post-pandemic period. This has increased confidence in the sector thanks
to the continuous improvement of quality, services and results, as noted by International
