The boom of the sleep economy
In recent years, sleep problems have become a topic of global concern. According to statistics from the Chinese Sleep Research Society, more than 300 million people in China suffered from sleep disorders in 2021, and the incidence of insomnia among adults is as high as 38.2%. This phenomenon has given rise to a new sleep economy, exceeding 400 billion yuan (data from iiMedia Research’s Research Report on China's Sleep Economy Industry in 2021).
Targeting this trend, the 2023 VSIL Forum will feature sleep solutions at a dedicated session on upholstered furniture accessories, complementing the first Rest & Relax – Upholstery Sourcing Event for soft home furnishing buyers to meet with high-quality brands.
