VIFA ASEAN – The Next Strategic Step After VIFA EXPO for Furniture and Handicraft Enterprises

 

As global supply chains continue to undergo major restructuring, furniture and handicraft enterprises are no longer approaching trade fairs as standalone activities. Instead, they are increasingly focused on building structured, long–term market development roadmaps.

From this perspective, VIFA EXPO and VIFA ASEAN are positioned as two consecutive phases within a unified market expansion strategy, designed to complement each other and maximize overall effectiveness.

 

VIFA EXPO – The Core Trade Platform

Over the years, VIFA EXPO has established itself as Vietnam’s leading furniture and interior trade fair, where enterprises can:

  • Access a large-scale network of international buyers
  • Showcase manufacturing capacity, design capability, and key product lines
  • Build foundational business relationships with overseas partners

This is a critical first step that helps enterprises establish a solid presence on the international trade map before expanding into regional markets.

VIFA ASEAN – The Next Strategic Expansion After VIFA EXPO

Building on that foundation, VIFA ASEAN serves as the next strategic move, with a strong focus on the Southeast Asian market – a region experiencing rapid growth in both furniture production and consumption.

From a long-term vision, VIFA ASEAN aims to elevate Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam as a regional hub for furniture and handicraft trade within ASEAN, serving as a platform that:

  • Brings together manufacturers from across the region
  • Connects directly with international buyer networks
  • Functions as a trade gateway for export promotion and regional cooperation

 

 

Optimizing Results Through a Two – Fair Participation Roadmap

Following a structured participation roadmap across both fairs enables enterprises to:

  • Avoid overlapping buyer groups
  • Tailor product portfolios and messaging to each target market
  • Increase buyer touchpoints while maintaining depth in business connections

In simple terms, VIFA EXPO serves as the starting platform, while VIFA ASEAN represents the strategic expansion, allowing enterprises to unlock additional growth potential across Southeast Asia.
