Canton Fair: The Future of Tech and Lifestyle is Here
As China’s premier showcase for “life-enhancing innovation,” the Canton Fair gives global buyers a glimpse into the future of everyday living. This time, American influencer Jack takes us behind the scenes to explore what’s new.
In the pet products section, Jack tested out a “smart litter box”—controlling its rotating mechanism via a mobile app. “Dogs have it better than I do,” he joked, surrounded by high-tech pet gadgets like automatic feeders, plush beds, and even luxury camping tents for pets. In the International Pavilion, the section for import products, the rich aroma of Turkish pastries and fresh coffee stopped him in his tracks. Picking up a butter cookie, Jack was hit with nostalgia: “My grandma always had these waiting for me when I was a kid.”
With nearly 70 years of history, the Canton Fair has become a must-attend event for businesses worldwide. “This fair holds a special place in my heart,” shared a Dutch buyer who first came in 1992. A Pakistani football supplier added, “My dad’s been coming for 20 years, and it just keeps getting bigger.” Another buyer from Chile hasn’t missed a session in 12 years.
Today, the Canton Fair is reshaping what “Made in China” means—leveraging tech and deep consumer insights to move beyond mass production and deliver smart, culturally tailored solutions for global lifestyles. As Jack puts it in his video: “That blanket you might buy in Paris, the gym gear you’ll use in Dubai, or the pet tent for your next Yellowstone adventure? You’ll find it all here at the Canton Fair.”
