As part of the road to the National Furniture Industry Congress 2026, the sector is positioning this gathering as a major Asia Pacific event that connects a growing local market with regional opportunities.
Why this Congress matters now?
The Philippines is home to a fast-expanding base of design-conscious, middle-class consumers, booming residential and hospitality projects, and a new generation of brands that are proud to be locally made. At the same time, global and regional buyers continue to look to the country for craftsmanship, natural materials, and distinctive design.
This year’s Congress, themed
“Future-Proofing Philippine Furniture: Competing, Compliant, and Connected in a Disrupted World,”
is built as a working dialogue, not just a speaking program.
Industry leaders will come together to:
1. Take a hard look at the current state of the Philippine furniture industry
2. Examine the export outlook amidst disruption
Assess how competitive Philippine manufacturers really are in the Asia Pacific market
3. Agree on short-term and medium-term strategies to move the industry forward
The goal: a National Furniture Industry Strategy Roadmap that aligns local growth, export ambitions, and regional collaboration.
The Congress will reflect the voice of manufacturers from across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, thanks to pre-congress focus group consultations feeding into the main event.
If you work with furniture, interiors, hospitality, real estate, design, or retail in Asia Pacific, this is the moment to pay attention to Philippine furniture.
