MIFF: Asia’s leading furniture fair gears up for global showcase

The Malaysia International Furniture Fair (MIFF) is gearing up for its 31st edition in March 2025, and the excitement is palpable.

MIFF, the largest furniture marketplace in Southeast Asia, is already 85% booked, setting the stage for a grand opening.

Spanning two major venues—Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre (MITEC) and World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL)—this year’s event promises an impressive range of new trends and top-notch products across 17 exhibition halls.

As the top platform for Malaysia’s wood furniture exports, MIFF has become an essential stop for global buyers seeking innovative and sustainable designs.

MIFF: A global event with local strength

MIFF has come a long way since its inception, and its 30th anniversary in 2024 was a testament to its enduring success.

With 715 exhibitors from 15 countries, and on-site orders exceeding $1.28 billion, MIFF remains the region’s go-to event for all things furniture.

Over 20,000 visitors attended last year, including a significant 6% rise in international visitors, with buyers from 120 countries.

Kelie Lim, MIFF’s General Manager, emphasised MIFF’s growing role in the international market, stating, “MIFF is the gateway for business and cross-border opportunities.

Our goal is to elevate the experience for exhibitors and buyers, ensuring more fun, engagement, and most importantly, business growth.”

Championing innovation and young talent

MIFF isn’t just about business—it’s also about fostering creativity and innovation.

The xOrdinary Showcase, which highlights the work of young designers, and the MIFF Furniture Design Competition (FDC), provide a platform for emerging talents.

This year’s FDC theme, “The Fashion Inspired Furniture,” promises a unique blend of style and functionality, where fashion meets furniture design.

Steve Ong, President of the Muar Furniture Association, noted, “The innovative approach of MIFF has kept it resilient through tough times.

It continues to be a vital platform for Malaysian furniture makers to connect with global buyers.”

MIFF 2025 is set to be bigger and better, attracting top buyers and exhibitors worldwide.

With cutting-edge designs, a focus on sustainability, and an emphasis on creativity, this event is not to be missed.

Whether you’re a buyer, designer, or industry professional, MIFF offers something for everyone.

Be sure to register early and take advantage of MIFF’s renowned hospitality and business privileges.
