2026 Exhibition Keyword: Smart Revolution
The home furnishing industry is poised for a remarkable transformation, driven by evolving consumer desires and technological innovations. The “Survey data on the consumption behavior of China’s home furnishing market in 2025” by iiMedia Research reveals that 29.09% of consumers see smart home technology as the leading trend, followed closely by a commitment to green environmental
protection at 25.35%. This indicates a strong demand for intelligent and sustainable home solutions.
Intelligence drives innovation, with AI technology revolutionizing the manufacturing industry, particularly in furniture. It enhances design, R&D, production, and application services, while boosting efficiency and user
