 Background

Against the dual backdrop of profound adjustments in the global economic landscape and the accelerated evolution of industrial transformation, the furniture and home furnishings industry stands at a critical juncture for a new round of transformation and upgrading. As we move into 2026, the environment facing the industry is becoming more complex and diverse. On one hand, cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and digital twins are reshaping the industrial ecosystem at an unprecedented pace. On the other hand, the global carbon neutrality process is accelerating, making the construction of green supply chains shift from an "option" to a "necessity," and the exploration of circular economy models is entering a substantive stage.

Concurrently, the rise of emerging markets like Southeast Asia and Central Asia provides new opportunities for the industry's international layout, while geopolitical changes and the restructuring of trade barriers place higher demands on supply chain resilience. Consumer demand also showing new characteristics: shifting from simply meeting product functionality to a composite pursuit of health, environmental friendliness, personalized experience, and intelligent interaction. Against this backdrop, this sub-forum will continue the core concept of "Green-Intelligent Integration" and focus on the new theme of "Resilient Coexistence," delving into innovative pathways and practical strategies for the high-quality development of the furniture and home furnishings industry amidst change.
