According to a March 2025 report by CSIL (Milan), Vietnam ranked sixth globally in the production – and second globally in exports – of furniture products in 2024, based on value.
With a leading position in South East Asia, Vietnam has become a key destination for international buyers – and this year, the Vietnamese real estate market is undergoing a strong recovery and development phase, with growth in supply, demand, and government support policies leading to an increase in construction projects, reports the organiser of import/export fair VIFA ASEAN, with the demand for furniture for construction projects set to increase accordingly.
VIFA ASEAN 2025 will take place from 26-29th August 2025 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, and will be the opening event of the Asia's autumn 2025 furniture exhibition series, also featuring events such as KOFURN (South Korea), MFFM (Malaysia), Maison Shanghai, CIFF Shanghai, Furniture China and IFFINA (Indonesia).
"With this pioneering position, VIFA ASEAN 2025 has become the leading destination for international buyers seeking high-quality furniture supply in Asia," states VIFA ASEAN's organiser.
