Handicraft booths at VIFA EXPO 2023

The global economy is undergoing a period of repositioning, and the trend of shifting production to countries with geographical, human, and political advantages is becoming stronger.

Countries in the ASEAN region fully converge all those factors. Moreover, with many free trade agreements, the area is increasingly participating in the global supply chain and gradually becoming a centre for manufacturing and supply.

Over the years, Vietnam has grown into the region’s largest furniture exporter and the most familiar and attractive destination for international furniture buyers.

Following the success of VIFA EXPO in March, Lien Minh Co., Ltd. will hold the Vietnam ASEAN International Furniture & Home Accessories Fair - VIFA ASEAN 2023 from August 29 to September 1, 2023 at the SECC in Ho Chi Minh City, with the goal of enhancing Vietnam's position to become the global hub for furniture trade.

Under the theme Gathering all the best South East Asian furniture, the event is expected to draw 1,400-plus booths from over 350 companies with a total fair scale of 20,000sq.m.
