The Domotex Asia/Chinafloor event held in Shanghai from 23 - 25 March 2010 recorded an attendance figure of 40 000, which is ten per cent up on last year's total. Around 1 000 exhibitors from all over the world displayed their products on an exhibition space in excess of 97 000 m². One of their main aims is to achieve access to China's rapidly growing middle classes, which information from fair organisers Deutsche Messe suggests are developing into the world's main consumers of flooring products.
