MIFF’s Ambitious Vision Manifested Across 2025 Event

The numbers are in for this year’s Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF), and the show recorded an estimated $1.31 billion US in on-site sales. This is a three per cent increase over 2024 figures, reflecting strong commercial momentum and buyer confidence.

MIFF 2025 welcomed 742 exhibitors March 1-4, marking 3.8 per cent year-over-year growth in participation.

On the buyer front, the show attracted 19,556 trade visitors from 120 countries and regions, including 5,606 international buyers, up 3.4 per cent from the previous year.

Notably, there was a significant increase in attendance from Canada and Mexico, Europe, including Turkey, and key Asian markets, highlighting MIFF’s expanding international appeal.

“The growth in exhibitor numbers and the strong turnout from both local and international buyers affirm MIFF’s reputation as a key player in the global furniture market,” says Kellie Lim, general manager of MIFF. “This year’s results highlight MIFF’s continuing importance as a dynamic marketplace where global furniture professionals meet, connect and drive growth.”

The 2025 edition championed sustainability, spotlighting eco-friendly designs and fostering crucial industry connections. The newly enhanced MIFF Furniverse 2.0 platform revolutionized the exhibition experience. This sophisticated digital ecosystem significantly reduced paper usage while boosting efficiency through interactive floor plans, intelligent lead retrieval systems and personalized matchmaking. The technology effectively connected buyers with relevant suppliers based on their specific needs.

Southeast Asia’s largest and leading export-oriented furniture trade show returns March 4-7, 2026, promising an even more elevated experience. It will be held at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre and World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.
