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. Thailand, the second-largest construction market in ASEAN, plays a central role, supported by long-term development initiatives such as the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).
Driven by this potential, DOMOTEX, the world’s leading brand for flooring and interior finishing solutions, is expanding its international footprint with the launch of DOMOTEX South East Asia. The inaugural edition of the exhibition will take place from 11 to 13 November 2026 at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC).
A New Hub for the Southeast Asian Market
As a key milestone in the brand’s global development strategy, DOMOTEX South East Asia will debut with a 14,000-square-meter exhibition area. Expected to bring together more than 300 exhibitors from around the world, the event will offer a focused platform for innovation, business exchange, and market access.
Choosing Bangkok as the host city highlights Thailand’s logistical strength in the region and its direct access to fast-growing markets. Arno Reich, Senior Vice President at Deutsche Messe AG, stated that this new step was taken to help companies seize regional opportunities and support sustained success in the flooring sector.
Collaborations Strengthening Sectoral Interaction
The event targets a wide professional audience, including real estate developers, building owners, contractors, architects, designers, and distributors. By convening decision-makers across the entire value chain of flooring and interior construction, DOMOTEX South East Asia aims to provide a qualified foundation for long-term partnerships. The exhibition will be co-located with Future Build Asia and R+T South East Asia. This structure will bridge flooring, building materials, architectural solutions, and construction technologies, offering exhibitors and visitors a comprehensive overview of the regional market.
Knowledge Sharing and Local Network Support
In addition to the exhibition floor, the accompanying Building and Architect Thailand Conference will host more than 100 speakers and approximately 4,000 participants. The program will address critical topics such as market trends, project requirements, and future-oriented construction solutions. DOMOTEX South East Asia is also supported by leading industrial organizations and engineering councils in Thailand. This collaboration, carried out with local associations and strong media partnerships, strengthens the event’s connection with the market and creates a sustainable business exchange environment in the Southeast Asian market.
