Spanning 350,000 square metres and 50 exhibition halls, the dual-venue exhibition hosted over 3,200 brands, solidifying its role as a primary gateway for the global furniture trade. While domestic interest remained strong—led by visitors from Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu—the international contingent grew by 14.6%. Asian markets accounted for over half of the overseas traffic, with South Korea, Russia, and Japan emerging as the leading contributors, followed by a significant European presence.

Professional buyers, designers, and institutional representatives dominated the floor, making up over 75% of the total crowd. These attendees focused heavily on sourcing new suppliers, scouting market intelligence, and identifying emerging design trends. The event served as a comprehensive value chain showcase, ranging from intelligent manufacturing and upholstery to curated lifestyle concepts at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. Organizers CNFA and IM Sinoexpo have already confirmed the return of the event to Pudong for September 7–11, 2027, aiming to build on the partnerships forged during this year's record-breaking edition.
