CBD Guangzhou 2026. Where Global Construction Meets Innovation, Supply Chains, and Market Opportunities
PRESS RELEASE, April 2026
In a rapidly evolving construction landscape, where the ability to anticipate innovations, optimize supply chains, and secure reliable partners is a decisive competitive factor for industry professionals, China (Guangzhou) International Building Decoration Fair (CBD Guangzhou) serves as a pivotal global platform for sourcing, innovation, and business development, offering a strategic gateway to China’s advanced manufacturing ecosystem.
A comprehensive platform for the entire industry supply chain
Founded in 1999 and organized by the China Foreign Trade Centre Group (CFTC), CBD Guangzhou is held annually in July at the Pazhou Complex in Guangzhou, sharing the same institutional and infrastructural ecosystem as the Canton Fair.
Spanning over 300,000 square meters, the exhibition brings together more than 2,000 leading Chinese manufacturers, covering the entire building decoration supply chain — from materials and components to finished solutions and advanced production technologies.
For international professionals, CBD represents a one-stop sourcing platform, providing direct access to scalable suppliers, competitive solutions, and integrated project capabilities.
Accelerating International Growth
The 2025 edition confirmed CBD Guangzhou’s global relevance, with:
- 2,000 exhibitors
- 205,621 professional visitors

International attendance increased by 47.22% year-on-year, highlighting the fair’s rapid evolution into a key international business hub. For developers, contractors, and distributors, particularly in high-growth regions such as the Middle East, this trend reflects a growing demand for export-ready, high-quality solutions from China’s manufacturing sector.
A Structured and Integrated Vision
The 2026 edition will further enhance its positioning through a clear layout based on three core ecosystems:
- INTERIOR – Interior design, finishes, and integrated living solutions
- EXTERIOR – Building envelope systems, including doors, windows, and façades
- MATECH – Materials, hardware, coatings, and advanced machinery
This structure reflects the industry’s shift toward integrated, technology-driven solutions, where design, performance, and production efficiency converge. Key sectors such as smart home systems, bathroom solutions, and intelligent manufacturing will play a central role in shaping the exhibition’s content.
