The Interior Lifestyle China is changing its venue and the date for its market next year to accommodate additional exhibitors.

The market will be held Sept. 25-27 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

Organized by Messe Frankfurt Co., the show has outgrown its former space.

"The change of venue for our 2013 show will further consolidate Interior Lifestyle China's position as China's leading lifestyle industry show," said Evan Sha, general manager Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co. "In fact during the past six years, the number of overseas exhibitors and brands participating in the show has increased from less than 30 percent in the first edition to more than 70 percent in 2012. This growth reflects the huge potential of the Chinese retail market for lifestyle products and high-end consumer goods and is one of the reasons Interior Lifestyle China continues to attract key international brands."

The date change allows the show to run concurrently with Paperworld China, a stationery consumer goods market.

The current 2012 show was the largest in the market's history with 248 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions.
