2026-04-20
On April 15, the 139th China Import and Export Fair officially opened its physical doors in Guangzhou.

Reports indicate that this year's exhibition covers a total area of 1.55 million square meters, featuring approximately 75,500 to 75,700 booths. The event has attracted over 32,000 participating enterprises, including about 3,900 first-time exhibitors, with all major metrics exceeding previous records. By early April, the number of pre-registered overseas buyers surpassed 210,000, with 290 leading purchasing firms confirmed to attend—a 30% year-on-year increase.

Significant for the lighting sector, data shows that 357 lighting companies are presenting 4,823 products at this fair, with 342 of these enterprises conducting offline exhibitions.

Compared to previous editions, both the number of participating lighting companies and the volume of products have seen varying degrees of growth. Specifically, the number of lighting exhibitors has surged by over 63%, while the number of lighting products has grown by nearly 80%. This demonstrates that despite intensifying local conflicts globally, such as the Israel-Iran and Russia-Ukraine tensions, Chinese lighting enterprises remain highly confident in product exports and international sales.

Even more encouragingly, 23 lighting companies are making their Canton Fair debut this year—an increase of 10 new participants compared to previous sessions. This further validates the powerful influence of the Canton Fair within the domestic lighting industry.
