The Canton Fair 2026 dates for the autumn session have been officially confirmed. The 140th China Import and Export Fair will run from October 15 to November 4, 2026, at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou. For buyers sourcing home decor, building materials, and furniture, Phase 2 is the most relevant window — and it is also the ideal time to add a separate Kanod factory appointment in Foshan to your itinerary.

The 140th Canton Fair Autumn Schedule: All Three Phases at a Glance

The 140th Canton Fair is divided into three phases, each targeting distinct sourcing categories.

Phase 1 runs from October 15 to 19, 2026, and focuses on advanced manufacturing, including machinery, electronics, vehicles, energy, hardware, and tools.

Phase 2 runs from October 23 to 27, 2026, under the theme “Quality Home Life.” This phase covers building materials, furniture, household products, sanitary equipment, and home decor.

Phase 3 runs from October 31 to November 4, 2026, with the theme “Better Life,” featuring fashion, textiles, health, recreation, and personal care.

Phase 2 is the phase most relevant to Canton Fair Phase 2 home decor buyers, including developers, contractors, architects, distributors, and project-based purchasers.

Canton Fair Phase 2 Home Decor: What to Source Under “Quality Home Life”

Phase 2 focuses on the theme of “Quality Home Life” and covers a broad spectrum of home and building categories. The exhibition area reaches 515,000 square meters with 25,000 booths, including three major segments — household goods, gifts and decorations, and building materials and furniture — plus four new zones for fashion accessories, bamboo and wooden tableware, bamboo and wooden home products, and integrated housing and garden facilities.

For international buyers planning their Phase 2 sourcing list, key directions include:

  • Home decor & decorative accessories — ceramic and glass crafts, woven and rattan items, festive and seasonal decorations, wall art, and tabletop collections
  • Building and decorative materials — tiles, sanitary ware, doors and windows, and architectural finishes
  • Furniture — indoor and outdoor furniture, including sofas, tables, chairs, wardrobes, and shelving systems

If your project involves windows, doors, sunrooms, or curtain wall systems, Phase 2 provides a useful market overview. However, a trade-fair booth can only show a finished sample — it cannot demonstrate how a supplier manages material selection, batch inspection, packaging, or export preparation. That is where a factory visit becomes valuable.

Why a Foshan Factory Appointment Complements Your Canton Fair Trip

KANOD is not exhibiting at the 140th Canton Fair. The factory visit is an independent appointment, completely separate from any exhibition booth. International buyers travelling to Guangzhou for Phase 2 are welcome to arrange a separate visit to KANOD’s factory and showroom in Foshan.

Located in Shishan Town, Nanhai District, Foshan, KANOD operates a 30,000 m² manufacturing facility and a 2,000 m² product showroom. Buyers can review aluminum windows and doors, entrance doors, sunrooms, curtain wall systems, and glass balustrades — including CE-certified product options for suitable residential and commercial applications. A factory visit allows buyers to connect a finished sample with the profile structures, glazing options, hardware, finishes, sealing systems, and quality-control steps behind it.

Shishan is part of Foshan’s broader home and building materials cluster, an ecosystem that supports everything from furniture manufacturing to architectural hardware. Visiting a factory in this cluster gives buyers a ground-level view of how production capacity, customization, and export logistics actually work.

How to Arrange Your Kanod Factory Visit

The visit is arranged by appointment only. To make the appointment productive, KANOD recommends preparing the following information in advance:

  • Project type and destination country
  • Architectural drawings, elevations, or a window and door schedule
  • Approximate quantity and opening types
  • Preferred frame colors and finishes
  • Performance priorities (e.g., thermal, acoustic, security, weather resistance)
  • Preferred hardware or reference brands
  • Target delivery period and current project stage

Buyers attending Phase 2 have a practical scheduling option: visit the factory before October 23 to establish a technical reference, then compare the wider market at the fair. A half-day or full-day visit is recommended depending on project complexity — a showroom-only review takes less time, while a detailed session involving drawings, multiple product systems, production walk-through, and packaging review requires more.
