The Ultimate Guide to Lecong Furniture Market: Save Time and Costs
Published by BRANUO Furniture Blog | October 2026
Lecong Furniture Market is the world's largest furniture sourcing center. Here's the ultimate guide to its top must-visit malls, how to get there, its history, and — most importantly — where to find factory-direct Italian luxury at honest prices.
Lecong at a Glance
Lecong is the furniture trading capital of China. Located in the central area of Foshan, Shunde, it sits only 30 km from Guangzhou and 100 km from Hong Kong and Macau.
Recognized as the largest furniture market in the world, Lecong serves as the central hub for global furniture brands and has unquestionably become the global furniture sourcing center:
Nearly 200 furniture malls covering over 4,000,000 square meters
More than 5,000 distributors from around the world operating here
About 20,000 daily visitors — both shoppers and sightseers
Over 200,000 furniture products for living rooms, bedrooms, hotels, bars, gardens, offices, and more
Over 1,000 foreign companies from more than 100 countries sourcing in Lecong
The Story of Lecong Furniture Market
The Lecong furniture market was born in China in the 1980s — an era of general consumer shortage. In Lecong, which lacked furniture manufacturing resources, a group of farmers broke through the constraints of the planned economy and began producing simple furniture in small workshops. They built pine-bark sheds on fish ponds beside National Highway 325 and sold furniture to passing drivers and travelers.
In the early 1990s, far-sighted entrepreneurs — including overseas Chinese from Lecong — built modern furniture shopping malls. They separated furniture sales from manufacturing and worked closely with factories to provide more professional services. By the end of the 1990s, Lecong had become a well-known furniture distribution center at home and abroad.
Entering the 21st century, the market entered its brand-development stage. The opening of the Louvre International Furniture Expo Center in 2000 marked the start of rapid brand-driven growth. In 2004, Lecong became China's only "furniture trading capital"; in 2008, Red Star Macalline — China's largest home furnishing chain — joined Lecong.
Why Is Lecong the First Choice for Global Furniture Procurement?
1. International professional buyers always visit Lecong first
Take Australian furniture buyers as an example. They attend the Canton Fair every March to scout new products, but the fair is temporary and rushed — hard to find the right partner. So they all come to Lecong afterward to visit thousands of factory showrooms in person. Whether they find suppliers on Alibaba or elsewhere, Lecong is the final destination.
2. Overseas retail consumers also shop here
Diplomatic officials from embassies and consulates bring visiting friends to Lecong to buy furniture. Commercial counselors treat Lecong as an important industry barometer and recommend it to their domestic furniture associations.
3. Domestic professional buyers favor Lecong
Interior designers, hotel buyers, and project procurement teams from all over China come to Lecong — designers on behalf of their clients, hotel buyers looking for reliable partners.
4. Domestic retail combines shopping and travel
Many consumers from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Wuhan, and other cities take advantage of holiday promotions to buy furniture in Lecong, then continue on to Hong Kong, Macau, or other destinations — combining travel with procurement.
Wholesale or Retail?
Most malls in Lecong are occupied directly by manufacturers, so every mall handles both wholesale and retail. Generally:
Retail-leaning malls: Red Star Macalline, Louvre Expo Center, Empire Furniture, Sunlink North District — large-scale, strong brands, full product ranges
Wholesale-leaning malls: Tuanyi, Dongheng, Nanhua, Eastment, Dongming — more specialized factories, narrower product lines, better bulk pricing
If you're a retail buyer, the four retail-leaning malls are your best one-stop choice. If you're a professional buyer looking for components or specialized products, the wholesale malls offer much deeper variety.
