The 2026 Guangzhou Hardware and Electrical Appliance Expo will be held in September, and cross-border e-commerce will become an important highlight for industrial products to go global
The 2026 Guangzhou Hardware and Electrical Appliance Expo and Industrial Cross border E-commerce Export Exhibition will be held from September 16th to 18th in Zone A of the China Import and Export Commodity Fair in Guangzhou. As the second edition of the exhibition, this year's exhibition will continue to highlight the integration of hardware and electrical industry display and cross-border trade of industrial products. According to the information currently announced on the exhibition website, the exhibition area is about 35000 square meters, and it is planned to gather more than 1000 exhibiting companies.
The exhibition is hosted by the China Hardware, Electrical and Chemical Industry Business Association and organized by Shengchen Tianda (Shanghai) Exhibition Co., Ltd. Its core direction is "industrial products going global" and "cross-border e-commerce industrial product selection". Through product display, procurement docking, and professional forums, it strengthens the connection between hardware manufacturing enterprises and domestic and foreign procurement channels, cross-border e-commerce, and industrial service resources.
Centralized display of hardware industry chain, further expansion of the second exhibition
From the exhibition content, this exhibition will focus on hardware tools, power tools, electromechanical products, construction hardware, fasteners, grinding tools and abrasives, welding equipment, and related industrial supporting products, further covering the production, application, and trade of hardware industrial products.
Compared with the first exhibition, the scale of the 2026 exhibition shows a trend of further expansion. According to official post exhibition data, the total exhibition area of the first Guangzhou International Hardware Exhibition in 2025 is nearly 30000 square meters, gathering nearly 500 companies and attracting a total of 15820 professional visitors in three days. According to the currently announced 2026 plan, the number of participating companies is expected to further increase.
While expanding in scale, this exhibition will continue to strengthen its professional procurement attributes. By showcasing hardware and industrial products from different sub sectors, it will provide a platform for manufacturers, brand enterprises, distribution agents, engineering procurement, and cross-border trade enterprises to select products and connect supply and demand.
Strengthening the docking of industrial product exports through "hardware+cross-border e-commerce"
Different from traditional hardware exhibitions, cross-border e-commerce of industrial products is a distinctive feature of Guangzhou Hardware Exhibition.
According to the organizer, the exhibition focuses on overseas markets such as Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa. By introducing cross-border e-commerce, supply chain, and related service resources, it promotes hardware enterprises to expand their overseas sales channels. At the same time, through activities such as product docking meetings and professional forums, it strengthens cooperation between the manufacturing and export trade sides.
This model has been reflected in the first exhibition. During the exhibition in 2025, TikTok Shop、SHEIN、TEMU、 Wanlihui and other cross-border e-commerce and service platforms participated in related activities, and held multiple forums focusing on industry internationalization and digital development at the same time, providing communication scenes for hardware enterprises to understand cross-border channels, market operations, and overseas business.
From the perspective of the exhibition positioning in 2026, cross-border e-commerce will still be an important part of this exhibition. For traditional hardware manufacturing enterprises, the function of professional exhibitions is also being connected by product display and distribution agents, further extending to cross-border product selection, channel connection, and overseas market expansion.
Relying on the industrial and foreign trade foundation of the Greater Bay Area, strengthen the connection between supply and demand resources
Guangzhou and the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area have a relatively complete manufacturing, commercial circulation, and foreign trade service system, while connecting manufacturing cluster cities such as Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, and Jiangmen, providing a good regional foundation for hardware, electrical, and related industrial product enterprises to carry out industrial cooperation and market expansion.
This exhibition will also be linked to the Guangzhou Labor Protection Exhibition at the same time, further expanding the display content in the fields of industrial products and safety protection, and enhancing the collaboration between industrial product procurement resources.
Based on the currently released information,Exhibition expansion, cross-border selection of industrial products, overseas market expansion, and supply and demand docking of the industrial chainIt will become the main highlight of the 2026 Guangzhou Hardware and Electrical Appliance Expo. As traditional manufacturing enterprises accelerate the exploration of diversified export channels, the combination of professional exhibitions and cross-border e-commerce will also provide new business scenarios for hardware industrial product enterprises to connect with the international market.
