Guangzhou Trade Fair Starting April 15, 2026

The Canton Fair in Guangzhou is one of the world’s largest trade exhibitions, held twice a year—spring (April 15 to May 5) and autumn (October 15 to November 5). The event is divided into three phases, each focused on specific product categories, from electronics and machinery to textiles and everyday goods (a detailed list can be found on the official website).

A common question is: “Why go if everything is available online?” In reality, that’s not the case. Many new products—especially from niche exhibitors—are not published online due to competition and concerns about ideas being copied.

From our experience, while many offers online may look similar, the exhibition puts you in a completely different environment. You can meet manufacturers in person, spot emerging trends early, and discover unique products that are not yet available online.
