by Editorial Team

The 27th edition of the China (Guangzhou) International Building Decoration Fair—CBD Guangzhou 2025—is set to return from July 8–11, 2025, at the Canton Fair Complex and PWTC Expo, solidifying its status as the world’s largest trade exhibition dedicated to building decoration, materials, and furnishings.

Since its inception in 1999, CBD Guangzhou has grown into a cornerstone event for the building decoration sector, traditionally with a strong domestic focus. However, the 2025 edition marks a significant turning point. With a renewed emphasis on international participation, the fair is evolving into a global platform that welcomes designers, architects, manufacturers, and buyers from all over the world.

Occupying an enormous 400,000 square meters, the fair will host over 2,000 exhibitors and is expected to draw more than 200,000 professionals. The event arrives at a time when the global building decoration and furniture market is projected to generate a staggering $799.46 billion in 2025, underlining the fair’s strategic importance.

The “Three-Ecology” framework: a holistic design vision

At the heart of CBD Guangzhou 2025 lies the newly launched “Three-Ecology” strategic framework, a groundbreaking approach to unify previously siloed sectors of the industry:

  • INTERIOR Ecology: Focuses on “Customization + Design”, showcasing the future of intelligent interiors through smart home technology and advanced design systems.
  • EXTERIOR Ecology: Offers comprehensive outdoor solutions, emphasizing how exterior spaces now demand the same design rigor as interiors.
  • MATECH Ecology: Highlights material and hardware innovations, where cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities merge with elevated aesthetics.

This integrated ecosystem is designed to foster meaningful cross-sector collaboration, transforming the fair into a compass for the industry’s future, not merely a trade show.

For international attendees: access, opportunity, and insight

For professionals abroad, CBD Guangzhou offers a unique entry point into China’s dynamic manufacturing ecosystem. It provides unrivaled access to trend forecasting, technological innovation, and partnership opportunities with the world’s leading suppliers.

“This fair isn’t just about products—it’s about vision,” states a representative from the event. “The ‘Three-Ecology’ model allows international visitors to tap into the depth of Chinese industry while forging forward-looking business connections that matter.”

More than an exhibition: a platform for global design culture

Beyond the exhibition halls, CBD Guangzhou serves as a cultural interface between East and West, where global design ambitions meet China’s production excellence. From furnishings and smart systems to sanitary ware, coatings, and precision machinery, the fair is a complete industry panorama, driving not only commerce but also creative dialogue.
