The CBD Guangzhou exhibition will return in 2026 as a key international platform for the construction and building decoration sector, bringing together manufacturers, suppliers and industry professionals within a comprehensive sourcing and innovation environment.
Organised by the China Foreign Trade Centre Group, the fair will take place at the Pazhou Complex in Guangzhou, a venue shared with the Canton Fair. Covering more than 300,000 square metres, the event is expected to host over 2,000 exhibitors representing the full building decoration supply chain, from raw materials and components to finished systems and production technologies.

The exhibition continues to expand its global reach, with the previous edition attracting more than 200,000 professional visitors, including over 8,600 international buyers from 145 countries. This growth reflects increasing demand for scalable manufacturing solutions and international sourcing opportunities, particularly among developers, contractors and distributors seeking competitive and export-ready products.
For 2026, the fair will be structured around three core sectors: interior solutions, exterior building systems and material technologies. This layout reflects a broader industry shift towards integrated solutions, where design, performance and manufacturing processes are increasingly interconnected.

Key product areas will include smart home systems, bathroom solutions and advanced production technologies, aligning with current trends in digitalisation and industrial efficiency. The platform is designed to facilitate direct engagement between international buyers and Chinese manufacturers, supporting the development of long-term partnerships and streamlined supply chains.
CBD Guangzhou is positioned not only as a trade fair but as a strategic business platform, offering access to one of the world's largest manufacturing ecosystems. As supply chain resilience and cost optimisation remain central industry concerns, the event aims to support companies in navigating global market conditions while expanding their sourcing and distribution networks.
The 2026 edition is scheduled to take place from 8 to 11 July, with organisers encouraging international participation as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the fair's role within the global construction and interiors industry.
