València Inspira Diseño 2026 – a set of four design-focused trade fairs held concurrently in Valencia – closed on 1st October having attracted more than 54,000 visitors. This is being hailed as the best attendance in recent years, and represented 21% growth compared to the 2024, the last time the furniture, decoration, lighting, textiles, and kitchen equipment trade fairs were held at the same time.

International buyers accounted for 15% of total visitors; mainly coming from Portugal, France, Italy, Mexico, the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, Morocco, Poland, the UK, and Belgium. The largest professional group was decorators and interior designers, 22.6% of the total, followed by retailers at 17.9%, designers at 11.6%, sales representatives at 10.2%, architects at 9.5%, and large-scale retail and buying groups at 7.8%.

Vicente Pons, President of the Feria Hábitat València Organising Committee, stated: “This edition confirms the strength of the furniture, interior design and decoration sector and, above all, the quality of the professional visitor. We have seen a very significant presence of buyers and specifiers, with a constant flow of professionals interested in products, new developments and business opportunities. Integrating the different sectors makes it possible to offer a much more comprehensive and attractive vision of the habitat sector.”

José Ramón Revert, President of the Textilhogar Organising Committee, observed: “Home textiles have found an especially favourable setting in this edition to showcase their full potential. Sharing the stage with the rest of the habitat sectors multiplies opportunities for contact and business and enables professional visitors to find everything they need for their projects in one place.”

Félix Bernad, President, Espacio Cocina SICI, noted: “The high attendance recorded over these days and the significant number of new products and innovations presented by companies confirm the dynamism of a sector that finds in this event a benchmark showcase for presenting products, generating business and establishing new commercial relationships.”

Ángel Mínguez, President of ASEBAN, said: “The integration of the different sectors has been one of the great successes of this edition. For the bathroom sector, being part of the new 360 by Cevisama initiative means sharing space with professionals directly involved in the development of architecture, interior design, hospitality, contract and retail projects. The quality and profile of visitors, together with the business activity recorded over these days, confirm the interest in this format and the opportunities it creates for companies.”
