On March 24, the ‌2025 Shanghai Construction Expo‌ and the ‌first Hongqiao Design Week‌ commenced at the Shanghai Hongqiao National Convention and Exhibition Center. This year’s expo spans nearly ‌50,000 square meters‌ of exhibition space, featuring participation from over ‌300 branded enterprises‌‌. The event showcases products across the entire home construction and decoration industry chain, including ‌whole-home customization‌, ‌full-aluminum furniture‌, ‌system doors and windows‌, ‌paint and soft furnishings‌, and ‌supply chain solutions‌‌.

On the opening day, the venue attracted ‌significant foot traffic‌ while maintaining ‌orderly operations‌, reflecting strong industry engagement and organizational efficiency‌.

The 2025 Construction Expo showcased three major highlights:

1. ‌Pioneering the Hongqiao Design Week‌ to lead design trends. Through a “5+1” model integrating design exhibitions, summit forums, exhibition tours, rankings releases, thematic campaigns, and a design gala, the event connected five think tanks—design consultants, industry advisors, city partners, design experts, and media advisors—to deepen the “design + materials” collaboration and elevate East China’s home and design industries‌.

2. ‌Linking eight industrial clusters‌ to drive high-quality development. Representative enterprises from Zhejiang Nanxun, Zhejiang Jiangshan, Zhejiang Ningbo, Jiangsu Hai’an, Jiangsu Jiangyin, Jiangxi Shangrao, Shandong Linyi, and Guangdong Foshan showcased their latest products and innovative technologies during the expo‌.
3. Co-launching the “first-release economy”‌ to create a new era of consumption. The expo supported exhibitors in debuting new products, business models, services, and technologies by collaborating with venues, Shanghai Metro, East China designer institutions, and industry media. This integration of advertising resources established a flagship event to stimulate post-Lunar New Year consumption and set new consumer trends‌.
