BIFE-SIM 2026 was about people, ideas, and connections. About manufacturers who presented their newest collections, about materials and technologies brought, for the first time, to Bucharest, about architects and designers in search of solutions, about professionals who came to discover, compare, and choose.
Four days in which the industry met, discussed, and did business.
The growth was visible in the size of the event: BIFE-SIM 2026 occupied 2 pavilions, 30,000 sqm of exhibition space, 14,000 sqm more than in 2025, almost doubling the space dedicated to the exhibition compared to the previous edition.
The growth is also visible in the number of exhibitors and visitors: 173 companies. Over 70 speakers. 21,821 visitors
This year, more than ever, we focused on the people for whom BIFE-SIM matters. And the result was visible across the 4 days of the exhibition: an audience interested in furniture, design, decorations, accessories, materials, technology, and interior design, alongside exhibitors who felt the difference. Following a growth of approximately 30% in the number of visitors in 2025, BIFE-SIM grew again in 2026, reaching 21,821 visitors, 5,5% more than last year. But what matters most to us is the quality of the meetings that took place during the event.
I wanted people who come for BIFE-SIM
In previous years, part of the exhibition traffic was also influenced by the public of other events organized during the same period. In 2026, the BIFE-SIM communication was more precise and better targeted toward the industry audience. And the feedback received from exhibitors and visitors confirms that the direction is the right one.
Visitors discovered spectacular stands and setups, unique pieces and collections, materials and accessories, innovative solutions, technologies and applications presented for the first time, in an exhibition that focused on what is new, important, and future-ready.
The exhibitors, in turn, appreciated an audience that was interested and relevant to their products and services.
An industry in dialogue
And the two BIFE-SIM stages transformed the exhibition into a space dedicated to dialogue: over 70 speakers held conferences, workshops, and presentations throughout the event.
Across the two pavilions, spanning 30,000 square meters of exhibition space, 173 companies were present, 15% more than in 2025. The number of Romanian companies grew by 22%, and the international component was supported by 25 companies from Belgium, China, Germany, India, Italy, the Republic of Moldova, Poland, and Turkey.
BIFE-SIM is growing. But, more importantly, it is connecting better with the people it exists for.
Because a good event doesn't end when the gates close. Conversations continue. Relationships develop. Projects begin. That means building a Community.
The event organizers, the Association of Furniture Manufacturers of Romania – APMR and Romexpo, thank all participants and partners of BIFE-SIM 2026 for their trust. „We have proven that, united and in solidarity, we are the force that changes direction. Because the future of the industry is not awaited. It is built!”
