Folks from all over the globe are planning to attend from April 15 to May 5, 2026. The focus is on sectors like advanced manufacturing, electronics, and healthcare — pretty exciting, right? Industry reports are pointing to this show being a big deal, with the global trade show market projected to hit around $18 billion by 2025. That kind of growth really highlights why events like the Canton Fair are so important.
John Smith, one of Display View’s experts, pointed out that the fair is like a bridge—it connects suppliers with buyers.
