Kitchen & Bath China 2026

KBC 2026 is scheduled for May 26–29, 2026 at SNIEC in Shanghai. The official show timetable specifies move-in on May 24–25 and exhibition opening times of 09:00–18:00 for May 26–28, with the last day (May 29) running 09:00–15:00. This matters for procurement planning because the effective negotiation window is concentrated into three full days plus a shorter final day; visitors who need supplier comparisons across multiple categories typically plan meetings earlier in the week and use the shortened last day for follow-ups and contract alignment.

The official product scope published for the 2026 edition defines KBC as a combined marketplace for kitchen & bath fixtures and systems and adjacent building-services infrastructure. The exhibitor categories listed include furniture and furnishing systems for kitchen and bath, kitchen and washroom faucets, sanitaryware, shower boxes and unit bathrooms, and also technical segments such as heating engineering, heating boilers, solar heating systems, ventilation systems, air-conditioning, water and wastewater treatment equipment, pumps and valves. This breadth is important for buyers because it enables one sourcing route that connects visible consumer-facing fixtures with behind-the-wall engineering and installation components that influence performance, compliance and total installed cost.

KBC 2026 is published in official event listings as open to business visitors and also to the general public, with admission via online application/registration and on-site registration options. For exhibitors, this implies a mixed visitor flow where professional procurement and project-specification visitors are present alongside broader market audiences; for trade buyers, the practical approach is to use pre-registration to speed entry and allocate time to supplier qualification conversations, sampling reviews and quote collection.

The official exhibit list for KBC 2026 provides a clear procurement checklist spanning both products and engineering systems: kitchen furniture and furnishing systems, faucets and fittings, sanitary ceramics and bathroom modules, plus heating and ventilation solutions and water treatment equipment including pumps and valves. This scope supports buyers across retail distribution, project supply and installation channels, because it covers the items that define the end-user experience (kitchen/bath fixtures) and the technical systems that determine reliability and serviceability (HVAC and water).

The organiser lists SNIEC as the host venue and provides the venue address as 2345 Long Yang Road, Pudong Area, Shanghai, 201204, China. Using the official venue reference is important because KBC is a large hall-based show; accurate location details support freight planning for exhibitors and reduce time loss for visitors scheduling supplier meetings across multiple halls during the 09:00 opening window.

Official organiser information for KBC is tied to Worldwide Exhibitions Service Co., Ltd. (WES), which also publishes a dedicated event entry for Kitchen & Bath China 2026 with the Shanghai location and May 26–29, 2026 dates. For participants, the organiser’s site and the KBC official website should be treated as the source of record for the timetable, venue, registration procedures and any operational updates.
