Press Release, July 2025

On July 11, 2025, the 27th China (Guangzhou) International Building Decoration Fair (CBD Guangzhou) successfully concluded, confirming its role as one of the world’s largest fairs for building decoration, materials, and solutions for interior architecture and bespoke furnishings. This edition achieved extraordinary results, with international attendance growing by over 47% compared to the previous year, setting new standards for global participation and cross-sector collaboration.

Across 300,000 square meters of exhibition space, CBD Guangzhou hosted nearly 2,000 exhibitors showcasing their innovations to 205,621 professional visitors from 145 countries and regions worldwide. This growth in overseas attendance demonstrates how this fair has become an essential global business platform, offering international operators unique opportunities to forge contacts, develop collaborations, and expand their market presence.
CBD Guangzhou took place from July 8-11 at the Canton Fair Complex alongside CBS (Guangzhou International Bath & Sanitary Ware Fair). Despite the complexity of the global economic landscape, the event confirmed itself as a sector’s dynamic platform, driving market transformation through strategic innovations and concrete solutions for the new challenges facing international operators.

AN INTEGRATED PLATFORM FOR GLOBAL SUCCESS

CBD Guangzhou has transcended the traditional fair concept, transforming into a comprehensive year-round service platform. The integration of three innovative areas — Interior, Exterior, and Matech —combines design excellence, product innovation, and advanced material technologies, creating value for all participants.

The platform operates through six strategic market channels: Pro Dealers, Designers, Home Decorators, Foreign Traders, Commercial Decoration and New Media. These channels are strengthened by dedicated programs such as Dealer-Link, CBD World-Connect and Design-Link, which facilitate entry into global markets and create concrete business connections through targeted meetings and specific supply opportunities.

INNOVATION AND EDUCATION AT THE CORE

This year saw the organization of over 70 high-level forums, conferences, and events on emerging themes: AI-driven design, sustainable building practices, and global expansion strategies. The collaboration between CBD and CBS has created new opportunities for dialogue between different sectors, offering integrated solutions for modern construction and renovation challenges.
The fair placed particular emphasis on sustainability and technological innovation, showcasing the sector’s commitment to environmental responsibility and digital transformation. Exhibitors presented innovative solutions that anticipate future market demands.

LOOKING AHEAD: THE EVOLUTION OF THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR

The influence of CBD Guangzhou 2025 extends beyond the exhibition halls, defining industry standards and inspiring innovation. This year’s international participation consolidates CBD’s role as a platform where leaders meet to build the industry’s future.
The 2026 edition of CBD will respond to new market demands with expanded partnerships and cutting-edge solutions, confirming CBD Guangzhou as a reference point for business opportunities within the global community.
