Guangzhou, 23 October 2026 — The second phase of the 140th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) kicked off today in Guangzhou, themed “Quality Home Life”, drawing a large influx of global buyers to source home goods, decorative items and building & furniture products.

Covering an exhibition area of 515,000 square metres, this phase features over 25,000 booths across 14 sub-zones under three major categories: housewares, gifts & decorations, and building materials & furniture. More than 10,000 exhibitors take part, including over 3,600 specialised, sophisticated, distinctive and innovative enterprises and single-champion manufacturers bringing upgraded, eco-friendly and customised home products.

Running from 23 to 27 October, Phase 2 continues to serve as a vital bridge connecting Chinese manufacturers with global buyers, facilitating trade matching, innovation exchange and green supply-chain cooperation.
