DOMOTEX 2023 celebrates a successful comeback after twice cancellation owing to the pandemic induced break. After the pause, DOMOTEX 2023 proved once again that it remains the industry’s most important trade, innovation and trend platform. During the four-day world’s leading trade fair for carpets and floor coverings, trade visitors, around 69% of them from abroad, were able to discover new innovations and trends and make new business contacts with more than 730 exhibitors in eight halls.

After four eventful days, DOMOTEX 2023 closed its doors on Sunday. Sustainability, internationality and visitor quality were the hallmarks of this year’s event. Exhibitors, visitors and organizers all agree: DOMOTEX 2023 was a resounding success.

“We are overwhelmed by the positive response as well as the energetic spirit of this year’s DOMOTEX. The atmosphere in the halls is so super – exhibitors and visitors alike are delighted to finally come together again at their industry trade show to meet face-to-face, exchange ideas, make new contacts and close deals,” says Sonia Wedell-Castellano, Global Director DOMOTEX. “What also pleases me is that the quality of visitors at the show is outstanding. After all, the decision-maker share is 80%. Those who come to DOMOTEX come with very specific intentions.”

As a “must-attend” event, Michael Roithner, central buyer for floor coverings and carpets at POCO Einrichtungsmärkte GmbH, uses DOMOTEX to meet existing and potential suppliers in the shortest possible time – this time especially those he has not been able to visit in the last two years. As determined by a visitor survey audited by FKM, around half of the decision-makers place orders with exhibiting companies during their stay at DOMOTEX. Even during the current show, two-thirds of trade visitors said they would visit the next DOMOTEX in Hannover in January 2024 again.

Exhibitors delighted with high attendance & visitor quality

On the exhibitor side, the first DOMOTEX in three years also clearly exceeded expectations. “We were pleasantly surprised by the number of visitors we welcomed to our stand after the pandemic. We did not expect such a lively turnout this year due to the difficult world situation. For DOMOTEX 2024, we would like to see an even stronger event with a united flooring industry,” reveals Niklas Håkansson, Managing Director of Välinge.
