From June 30 to July 3, 2020 in São Paulo, ForMóbile will gather around 600 domestic and international brands and expects to be visited by more than 60 thousand professionals in search of novelties and trends in the segment.
The eighth larger economy of the world, with a Gross Domestic Product over US$ 2 trillion in 2018, Brazil is recovering the economic activity and retaking its role of a dynamic and strategic market for companies wishing to invest in the Country. For this year, the GDP forecast growth is 2.48% and, by 2020, 2.65%, according to the Central Bank´s Focus Market Report .
The furniture and wood segment followed the recovery of the economy and showed that the next few years should be favorable for doing business. The wood industry ended the year 2018 with good results after almost a decade of decline. According to ABIMCI- Associação Brasileira da Indústria de Madeira Processada Mecanicamente [the Brazilian Association of the Mechanically Processed Wood Industry], positive results should be maintained for the next years, since Brazil has claimed itself as one of the main players in wood products, with 65% of its forests having certified origin and more of 80% of products being certified according to the technical requirements of the market.
According to the projection of Instituto de Inteligência de Mercado [Market Intelligence Institute] Iemi, the production of furniture and mattresses should grow 3,5% in 2019, reaching a result close to 453.7 million pieces. In terms of values, the furniture segment tends to grow more than 9,3%, with estimates reaching approximately R$ 75.3 billion.
Driven by the recovery of economic growth in the country, the ninth edition of ForMóbile – the Furniture and Wood Industry International Fair is larger and brings innovations for the wood processing segment. Considered the main event of the industry in Latin America, the Fair aims to gather more than 600 domestic and international brands and should receive more than 60 thousand visitors from more than 30 countries in search of new technologies and professional updating. The Fair takes place from June 30 to July 3 at SP Expo, in São Paulo.

Already consolidated by its strong representation in all stages of furniture construction, including machinery, equipment, raw materials, hardware, accessories, components and products for mattresses and upholstery, ForMóbile 2020 already has 25% more space than its previous year´s edition, in 2018. This result reflects the success of the last edition and the industry's positive expectation for the economy.
One of the Fair´s highlights is Espaço Madeira, an area created in partnership with Referência Industrial Magazine, with the support of ABIMCI (Associação da Indústria de Madeira Processada Mecanicamente). By 2020, it is gaining strength and is preparing to welcome new partners to present the news in the wood segment even more comprehensively.
