Southeast Asia is emerging as one of the most dynamic construction markets worldwide. Driven by sustained infrastructure investment and urban development, the region’s construction sector reached a market volume of over USD 538 billion in 2024, with steady annual growth.

The inaugural edition will take place from 11 to 13 November 2026 at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC). This event will be an addition to the DOMOTEX portfolio to support deeper penetration into the Southeast Asian market, while DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR will continue to be held annually in Shanghai, maintaining its position as the largest and most important flooring show in Asia.
The event is jointly presented by GLOBUS Events and Hannover Milano Fairs Shanghai Ltd., combining strong international exhibition expertise with in-depth regional experience. Worldex G.E.C. Co., Ltd. supports the event as the local partner, playing a key role in market development, local coordination, and industry engagement in Thailand.
