In July this year, the 27th China (Guangzhou) International Building Decoration Fair (CBD Guangzhou) concluded successfully, confirming its role as the world’s largest and most influential fair for building decoration, materials and solutions for interior architecture and bespoke furnishings.

This edition achieved extraordinary results, with international attendance growing by 47.22% compared to the previous year, setting new standards for global participation and cross-sector collaboration.

Across 3,00,000 square metres of exhibition space, the fair hosted nearly 2,000 exhibitors showcasing their innovations to 2,05,600 professional visitors from 145 countries and regions worldwide.

This growth in overseas attendance demonstrates how CBD Guangzhou has become an essential global business platform, offering international operators unique opportunities to forge contacts, develop collaborations and expand their market presence.

The integration of three innovative areas (Interior, Exterior and Matech) combined design excellence, product innovation and advanced material technologies, creating value for all participants.

The platform operates through six strategic market channels: professional dealers, designers, home decorators, foreign traders, commercial decoration and new media. These channels are strengthened by dedicated programmes such as Dealer-Link, CBD World-Connect and Design-Link, which facilitate entry into global markets.

This year saw the organisation of over 70 high-level forums, conferences and events on emerging themes: AI-driven design, sustainable building practices and global expansion strategies.

The 2026 edition will respond to new market demands with expanded partnerships and cutting-edge solutions, confirming CBD Guangzhou as the undisputed reference point for business opportunities within the global community.
