138th Canton Fair Exhibitors Respond to Global Consumer Trends with Sustainable and Design-Driven Innovations

GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global consumers are placing a higher value on sustainability, personalization, and aesthetics in their daily lives. This has led to a growing demand for eco-friendly and thoughtfully designed household products. At Phase 2 of the 138th Canton Fair, exhibitors in the Household Items section are showcasing how Chinese manufacturers are adapting to these evolving preferences, bringing forward innovative solutions that blend environmental responsibility with modern design.

According to a senior sales representative from a long-time exhibitor, the Canton Fair remains an indispensable platform for global outreach, enabling companies to expand customer networks across more than 30 countries and regions. Each session, the fair continues to foster new business connections and strengthen existing partnerships, underscoring its role as a catalyst for international trade.

At this session, several exhibitors are introducing new eco-friendly household solutions. One exhibitor presented a biodegradable tableware collection made from agricultural byproducts such as sugarcane pulp, which naturally decomposes by more than 90% within a month. The series has earned multiple patents and international certifications for food safety. Another exhibitor focused on modular home storage systems crafted from recycled polypropylene (PP), designed with detachable components that enable a recycling rate of up to 95%. Recognized by global design institutions, the system exemplifies how sustainability and functionality can coexist seamlessly in modern living spaces.

Innovation also extends to home decor, where exhibitors are integrating artful design with practical value. Decorative frame and mirror producers are leveraging patented technologies, such as high-hardness color-shifting films and fluorescent anti-counterfeit coatings, to enhance both durability and visual appeal. A senior marketing executive explained that sustained investment in research and development ensures these products continue to meet the shifting preferences of global consumers. This year's offerings include velvet-framed photo frames, DIY foldable storage units, and multifunctional mirrors that combine reflective and organizational features, reflecting a clear commitment to user-oriented design.

As the Canton Fair continues to connect global buyers with forward-thinking suppliers, the emphasis on sustainability, smart design, and user-centric innovation reflects a broader shift in China's manufacturing landscape. Exhibitors are helping shape the future of everyday living by offering products that are functional, beautiful, and environmentally responsible.
