Thinking of sourcing furniture from China in 2025? Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned buyer, navigating the China furniture market, especially the sprawling hubs in Foshan, requires strategy, local knowledge, and the right partners. In this guide, we break down where to go, what to expect, and how Easyway can make your sourcing trip smooth and successful.
Why Foshan Is the Hub of Chinese Furniture
If China is the world's factory, Foshan is its furniture showroom.
Located in Guangdong province, Foshan has become synonymous with high-volume, high-variety furniture sourcing. Here's why:
Over 3,000 factories and showrooms within driving distance
Specialization in residential, hotel, office, and custom furniture
Easy access from Hong Kong and Guangzhou
Foshan China furniture market isn’t just a place, it’s an ecosystem built for serious buyers.
Top 4 Furniture Markets in Foshan
Foshan isn't one single market. It’s a network of zones. Here’s where to start:
1. Louvre International Furniture Mall
More upscale, luxury-style furniture is ideal for hotels and developers.
2. Sunlink Furniture City North
Focused on modern, contemporary, and minimalist furniture.
3. Sunlink Furniture City South
Great for bulk and cost-effective furniture, which is popular with Indian retailers.
4. Red Star Macalline Mall
Retail-style showrooms in a clean setting.
Each market specialises in different segments, from modular sofas to antique-style wardrobes. Knowing where to go saves time and money.
How to Buy from the China Furniture Market
The truth? Buying furniture in Foshan isn’t like shopping at IKEA.
Here's what to keep in mind:
Prices are negotiable, but only after serious intent.
English isn’t widely spoken, especially regarding logistics, payments, or production details.
Even the most luxurious stores might sell design imitations instead of original designs.
Working with a sourcing agent who speaks the language, understands quality control, and can negotiate on your behalf is a game-changer.
