The 137th Canton Fair: A Grand Event for Pet Supplies Foreign Trade

The Canton Fair, as a crucial platform for China's foreign trade, has always attracted businesses and buyers from around the globe. The 137th Canton Fair was held in Guangzhou in three phases from April 15 to May 5, 2025. We were fortunate enough to participate and personally experience the charm and vitality of this grand event.

Co-hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of China and the People's Government of Guangdong Province, the fair covers a total exhibition area of 1.55 million square meters, with approximately 74,000 booths and around 31,000 participating enterprises, showcasing its vast scale. This year's fair was themed around "Advanced Manufacturing," "Quality Home Furnishings," and "A Better Life," covering products from numerous fields. Among them, the pet supplies booths were located in the third phase, themed "A Better Life." Here, a wide variety of pet products were gathered, offering abundant choices for pet lovers worldwide.

In the pet supplies exhibition area, we witnessed many eye-catching products and innovative designs.

A series of smart pet products were displayed, including automatic cat litter boxes, large dog feeders, pet hair grooming tools, and pet air purifiers. These products leverage advanced technologies such as AI to achieve functions like pet positioning, feeding, cleaning, and care, providing great convenience for pet owners. For instance, smart pet feeding and watering devices can solve the problem of pets' diets when their owners are away, while automatic cat litter boxes can clean the litter automatically, freeing up owners' hands. There is also a pet air purifier with a unique side air supply system combined with an aroma module, which avoids directly blowing air on pets and causing stress reactions, offering a "senseless purification" experience for pet - owning families. With replaceable aroma modules, it can also achieve the dual functions of "purification + atmosphere creation."

The CF Gold Award - winning landscape canopy integrates intelligence and modern home elements. As the first outdoor smart home product on the market, it also provides a comfortable outdoor resting space for pets. Some enterprises also showcased beautifully designed pet beds and nests, made from soft and comfortable materials to create a warm little home for pets. High - quality pet towels, which support customization, were well - received by buyers.

The Canton Fair attracted overseas buyers from 210 countries and regions around the world, providing broad markets and cooperation opportunities for pet supplies foreign trade businesses. In the pet supplies exhibition area, we saw many in - depth negotiations between buyers and exhibitors, leading to the establishment of numerous cooperation intentions.

For us, pet supplies foreign trade businesses, the Canton Fair is an excellent platform for brand display, product promotion, and customer expansion. Through face - to - face communication with international buyers, we can gain a better understanding of market demands and trends, adjust product strategies in a timely manner, and enhance product competitiveness. At the same time, the Canton Fair also provides us with opportunities to exchange and learn from our peers, jointly promoting the development of the pet supplies industry.

The 137th Canton Fair was an unforgettable event, and the pet supplies exhibition area demonstrated the innovation and development potential of the industry. Here, we not only saw many outstanding pet supplies products and enterprises but also felt the huge demand and business opportunities in the global pet supplies market.

As pet supplies trade businesses, we should make full use of platforms like the Canton Fair, continuously improve product quality and innovation capabilities to meet international market demands. We believe that in future Canton Fairs, the pet supplies exhibition area will be even more remarkable, bringing us more cooperation opportunities and room for development.
