VTV.vn - VIFA EXPO 2026 is expected to gather more than 650 businesses with 2,800 booths, becoming the largest furniture and woodwork event in Vietnam and of regional stature next year.

Visitors look at furniture products at an exhibition in Ho Chi Minh City in August.

The International Fair of Vietnamese Interior and Exterior Products and Handicrafts is jointly organized by the Organizing Committee of VIFA EXPO and the Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) - Ho Chi Minh City Branch. The 17th annual event will take place from March 8 to 11, 2026, held simultaneously at two major exhibition centers of the city, WTC EXPO ( Binh Duong Ward) and SKY EXPO Vietnam (Trung My Tay Ward), with a total exhibition area of ​​over 51,000 m².

The event gathered many big brands in the furniture and handicraft industry such as Remacro, Michael Amini, Evergreen Home Furnishings, Kentex, Antique House, Hiep Long, Canadian Wood, Eurofar, Koda, Tay Ho, UE Furniture, Gia Nhien... along with hundreds of domestic and foreign enterprises.

The Director of VCCI in Ho Chi Minh City said that VIFA EXPO is not only a trade fair but also a comprehensive promotion ecosystem, connecting businesses, manufacturers, importers and global partners in the interior and exterior furniture industry. This is a strategic event to help Vietnamese businesses access international markets, expand cooperation and affirm the export position of the Vietnamese wood industry.

In the context of the world economic recovery, Vietnam's wood and furniture exports in the first 9 months of 2025 reached 15.2 billion USD, up 7.5% over the same period, continuing to be in the group of 6 industries with the highest export turnover. The US is still the largest market, accounting for about 46% of total turnover.

In order to meet the expanding needs of businesses, VIFA EXPO 2026 will be held for the first time in parallel at two exhibition centers, in which WTC EXPO was chosen as the new location with international standard facilities, including 12,000 m² indoor exhibition area and 10,000 m² outdoor.

The Organizing Committee also announced many special support policies for businesses and international buyers, including: free shuttle bus between the two centers and partner hotels; 30-50% accommodation discount at more than 15 3-5 star hotels; 1:1 business connection program, specialized seminars, factory tours and 2 free hotel nights for international VIP buyers.

According to the Organizing Committee, expanding to WTC EXPO – located in the "wooden furniture manufacturing capital" Binh Duong – not only helps save on transportation and display costs, but also creates conditions for international buyers to easily visit factories and production workshops directly.

With its expanded scale and professional promotion activities, VIFA EXPO 2026 is expected to become the largest trade meeting place of the year for the Vietnamese wood, furniture and handicraft industry, while contributing to improving competitiveness, promoting exports and sustainable development for the industry.
