Canton Fair Phase 1

Phase 1 of the 139th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair, Spring session) is scheduled for April 15–19, 2026. The official timetable states daily opening hours of 9:30–18:00. The venue is the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, with the official address published by the organiser as No. 382, Yuejiang Zhong Road, Guangzhou 510335, China. These baseline parameters are the practical planning framework for exhibitors and buyers: meeting calendars, logistics buffers, and day-by-day routing inside the complex should be built around a 9:30 start and an 18:00 close, across five consecutive show days.

Phase 1 is the Canton Fair’s industrial and technology-heavy segment: the official phase structure groups the show into Electronics & Appliance, Manufacturing, Vehicles & Two Wheels, Light & Electrical, and Hardware. This phase is therefore used primarily for supplier screening where technical parameters, production capacity, and delivery discipline matter: from consumer electronics and household electrical appliances to industrial automation, machinery systems, power equipment, and mobility supply chains. Because the scope is defined by these five blocks, Phase 1 is typically planned as an engineering-and-procurement visit, where buyers pre-map target halls by category and validate supplier fit against specifications and export readiness in a short time window.

The Canton Fair is structured around exhibitor–buyer business matching, and Phase 1 specifically concentrates the stakeholder mix around electronics, industrial manufacturing systems, mobility products and parts, lighting/electrical, and hardware/tools. Practically, this means the highest value conversations in Phase 1 are driven by procurement teams and technical specialists sourcing components, finished products, OEM/ODM capabilities and industrial equipment solutions, while exhibitors are predominantly factories and export-oriented trading manufacturers serving those sectors. Since the phase categories are defined officially, buyers can align internal responsibilities (electronics, machinery, mobility, lighting, hardware) to the fair routing and keep supplier evaluation consistent within each block.

The organiser lists the Phase 1 product scope in five clusters. Electronics & Appliance covers Household Electrical Appliances plus Consumer Electronics and Information Products. Manufacturing includes Industrial Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing, Processing Machinery Equipment, Power Machinery and Electric Power, General Machinery and Mechanical Basic Parts, Construction Machinery, Agricultural Machinery, and New Materials and Chemical Products. Vehicles & Two Wheels includes New Energy Vehicles and Smart Mobility, Vehicles, Vehicle Spare Parts, Motorcycles and Bicycles. Light & Electrical includes Lighting Equipment, Electronic and Electrical Products, and New Energy Resources. Hardware covers Hardware and Tools. This official scope is the most reliable checklist for pre-show supplier shortlisting and for building a meeting plan by category without guessing what will actually be present onsite.

The Canton Fair Complex is stated as the official venue for the 139th Spring session. The organiser publishes the full address as No. 382, Yuejiang Zhong Road, Guangzhou 510335, China. For operational planning, this single-venue setup means Phase 1 routing is executed inside one complex over five days, with a fixed daily time frame (9:30–18:00). When planning meetings, the address and venue name are the reference for transport booking, courier/forwarder coordination, and internal schedules shared with suppliers for booth appointments.

The official Canton Fair contact and organiser information identifies China Foreign Trade Centre as the organiser entity and publishes the primary address at No. 382, Yuejiang Zhong Road, Guangzhou 510335, China, with the official email info@cantonfair.org.cn
and service hotline details. For exhibitors and buyers, this is the authoritative reference for registration support, official notices and service coordination, and it is the most reliable source to validate dates, venue and phase structure against third-party listings.
