Feria Hábitat València from September 28 to October 1
The National and International Buyers Plan will drive an ambitious invitation program aimed at professionals in the contract sector, architecture, interior design, and large-scale distribution from strategic markets in Europe, Latin America, and North Africa. The major trade fair event focused on the habitat industry, which will bring together Feria Hábitat València, Textilhogar, Espacio Cocina SICI, and the new 360 by Cevisama area at Feria Valencia from September 28 to October 1, will feature one of the largest professional buyer programs developed in Spain for these sectors. Under the “València Inspira Diseño 2026” initiative, which encompasses these events, the exhibition will strengthen its international dimension and business-generation capacity through an ambitious National and International Buyers Plan, for which a total investment of more than one million euros is expected. This is one of the most important strategic initiatives of the event and aims to ensure the presence in Valencia of the leading purchasing decision-makers, specifiers, and professionals involved in furnishing, interior design, and contract projects from the most relevant markets for Spain’s habitat industry.
The program is the result of the combined and coordinated efforts of various buyer recruitment and invitation initiatives jointly promoted by public institutions, business organizations, and Feria Valencia itself. Participating entities include the Generalitat Valenciana, through IVACE+i Internacional and ICEX, with the collaboration and coordination of the main sector associations such as ANIEME, FEDAI, ATEVAL – Home Textiles from Spain, ARVET, and ASEBAN in the bathroom equipment sector.
The international plan will pay special attention to markets considered priorities for Spain’s habitat industry. In this regard, the 2026 edition will intensify actions aimed at buyers and specifiers from European Union countries and Latin America, two geographic areas that account for a very significant share of Spanish exports of furniture, lighting, home textiles, kitchens, and bathrooms.
Specific actions will also be developed in emerging markets with strong growth potential, particularly in Maghreb countries. The proximity of major international events such as the FIFA World Cup and significant investment plans linked to the development of new tourism and hospitality infrastructure are generating growing demand for products and solutions for the comprehensive furnishing of spaces.
The profile of invited professionals reflects the evolution of the sector’s distribution channels. Both nationally and internationally, the program will be particularly focused on profiles closely linked to the contract business and hospitality facilities. These include architecture firms, interior design studios, designers, specifiers, and project managers responsible for furnishing projects, as well as purchasing groups, specialized distributors, and major importing companies with decision-making power over large purchasing volumes. At the same time, the growing interest of European operators in Spain’s habitat industry is especially noteworthy, as its combination of design, innovation, quality, and competitiveness has made it one of the sector’s international benchmarks.
The Buyers Plan will have a direct impact on all events that make up València Inspira Diseño 2026, the major trade fair gathering that will simultaneously bring together Feria Hábitat València, Textilhogar, Espacio Cocina SICI, and the new 360 by Cevisama area, dedicated to bathroom equipment and solutions for comprehensive interior design projects.
The joint celebration of these sectors will provide buyers and specifiers with a comprehensive view of the latest trends and solutions for the habitat industry, while also encouraging synergies among industries that are increasingly interconnected and linked to major residential, hospitality, and contract projects. At the last edition, in which Feria Hábitat València and Textilhogar participated together, the event welcomed more than 40,000 professional visitors, nearly 16% of whom came from 102 countries, consolidating Valencia as one of the leading international meeting points for the habitat industry in Southern Europe.
Feria Valencia will host the joint celebration of Feria Hábitat València, Textilhogar, Espacio Cocina SICI, and the new 360 by Cevisama initiative from September 28 to October 1, 2026. This will be a major comprehensive, multisector event focused on habitat-related industries with strong international appeal among large-scale retailers and contract sector operators. The initiative is expected to exceed 110,000 square meters of exhibition space with nearly 1,500 exhibiting companies and brands.
