Money News PH | The 27th China (Guangzhou) International Building Decoration Fair (CBD Fair Guangzhou) wrapped up on July 11, 2025, after welcoming 205,621 professionals from 145 countries and regions. Held alongside the Guangzhou International Bath & Sanitary Ware Fair (CBS Fair), this year’s edition saw international attendance jump by 47.22%, affirming its status as a global destination for the building and interior design industries. The fair took place across 300,000 square meters and featured nearly 2,000 exhibitors along with over 70 high-level forums and conferences.
What’s New?
CBD Fair Guangzhou has moved far beyond a traditional trade show format. In 2025, organizers unveiled a bold upgrade to a full-chain, all-year platform that integrates exhibitions, business matchmaking, digital services, and industry think tanks. This transformation is supported by the fusion of three ecosystems—Interior, Exterior, and Matech—focused on the convergence of design, product innovation, and material technology. This strategic shift aims to empower stakeholders with more touchpoints, deeper collaboration, and long-term value creation.
Fueling the Future of Design and Trade
As global economic shifts challenge traditional industry models, CBD Fair Guangzhou is meeting the moment with structural innovations that connect every part of the value chain. The fair now anchors six core market verticals: Pro Dealers, Designers, Home Decorators, Foreign Traders, Commercial Decorators, and New Media. Targeted initiatives like Dealer-Link, CBD World-Connect, and Design-Link have been instrumental in linking suppliers with buyers, generating leads, and pushing Chinese brands toward global exposure. Through curated matchmaking and high-level delegations, CBD World-Connect is helping manufacturers fast-track their presence in key overseas markets.
In addition to exhibition space, the fair served as a knowledge hub, with more than 70 forums covering frontier topics like AI-assisted architecture, sustainable material cycles, adaptive reuse, and strategies for scaling internationally. These sessions offered attendees a chance to engage with trailblazers and plot their own growth in a rapidly evolving industry landscape.
