With more than five months to go, Domotex asia/CHINAFLOOR’s (DACF) expanded 110,000 square meter exhibitor space is already 75 percent sold putting the event on track to exceed last year’s record breaking mark of 40,414 visitors and 1,000 exhibitors.

The event takes place March 22-24^th, 2011 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) and is preceded by The World Flooring Forum on March 21, also in Shanghai. DACF is the largest floor covering show held in Asia and the second largest in the world.

“In reaction to last year’s unparalleled attendance and this year’s growing market demand, DACF increased floor space by nearly 13% for 2011 according to Kitty Bai, DACF Project Manager.

Several factors are creating the demand for exhibitor space according to Jim Gould, President of the U.S. based Floor Covering Institute and Strategic Director of the 2011 World Flooring Forum. “China’s construction market is exploding at rates never before seen. Billions of square meters of new floor space is boosting its domestic demand for floor covering beyond levels that anyone could have predicted even two years ago. China now represents a place to both source and sell products and the international industry is naturally keen to explore ways to leverage that opportunity for themselves,” said Gould.
