Industry Relevance

DOMOTEX Hannover has been in operation since 1989 – more than ample time to grow and gain the prestige it’s enjoying currently. The exhibition tracks and sets design trends and more in the world of carpeting and textile floor coverings every year. DOMOTEX functions as a go-to place for buyers, who are looking to source new suppliers and take notice of current design trends. The trade fair makes it possible to see the entire industry from a bird’s eye. The richness of products on display is a key selling point for trade visitors. 

Yes, there’s a market for the finished products like bath mats, area rugs, artificial grass, handmade carpets, hardwood, laminate, linoleum, mats, oriental rugs, outdoor flooring, patio slabs and more. However, we also have to mention that the exhibition is dedicated to the entire process chain – clean-off systems, cutting tools, carpet cleaning, carpet finishing, adhesives, dyes, fabrics, fibres, stair nosings systems, needle punching machines and so much more. No matter what corner of the flooring industry you come from, you’re going to find a perfect product and interaction.

DOMOTEX has taken notice of the issues surrounding climate change and conversations around resource efficiency, environmentally friendly products and production processes. It’s why the trade fair has taken a stance towards embracing a greener philosophy. The keynote theme for 2023 will be FLOORED BY NATURE and exhibitors will draw inspiration from the environment for safer, sustainable solutions. So far, the three focus topics include Connecting Markets, Conscious Living and Colourful Nature.

In addition to this drastic rebranding, DOMOTEX also introduces new showcases and initiatives with THE GREEN COLLECTION being a flagship of this change. The special showcase has been curated to feature green exhibitors, doing the work to minimise material waste and pollution. The showcase has four different sub-themes – Eco-friendly Products, Healthy Products, Sustainable Production and Social Responsibility.

Additional Value of Attendance 

DOMOTEX is reworking the floor space in new excited directions that affects all product areas. A key example is the introduction of MOOD SPACES. These are booths, which showcase current trends as designed by interior designers. The purpose of these spaces is to spark inspiration and prompt potential buyers to consider purchasing. Each booth follows in the philosophy of concept stores, which don’t just display products, but combine them to show different themes and styles.
