The 137th session of the China Import and Export Fair, commonly known as the Canton Fair, is underway in Guangzhou, continuing to position itself as a major global sourcing platform.
With a wide array of consumer products and suppliers, the event remains a key venue for international buyers seeking new solutions that align with shifting lifestyle preferences.
Among these is the expanding glamping sector, which is gaining traction across North America and Europe.
Glamping, short for “glamorous camping,” has evolved into a distinct market that emphasizes comfort and convenience in outdoor settings.
This growing demand is reflected in the products and innovations presented at the Fair, particularly during its third phase, which runs from May 1 to May 5 and focuses on sports, tourism, and leisure products.
Guangdong ICECO Enterprise Co., Ltd., a long-standing participant in the Canton Fair, is showcasing a new line of portable fridges and freezers that cater to the needs of glamping customers.
“These metal classics freezers reflect both durability and refined aesthetics,” said Rain Xie, Director of the Product Department at ICECO.
The company’s dual-zone cooling and freezing technology is intended to support outdoor lifestyles by offering versatile storage in remote settings.
ICECO views its continued presence at the Fair as an opportunity to reach new international markets and promote products tailored for the glamping community.
Zhejiang Sorbo Technology Co., Ltd. is also exhibiting a range of outdoor electronics aimed at enhancing the comfort of camping environments, according to a news release.
The company has introduced a patented rechargeable fly fan with lamp repellent, along with a multi-functional camping lantern that serves as a light, mosquito repellent, and power charger.
These products are designed to address common pain points in outdoor recreation, particularly for glamping users who seek both functionality and a relaxed atmosphere.
The Canton Fair is recognized as one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive trade events. Held in Guangzhou every spring and autumn, the Fair draws thousands of exhibitors and buyers from around the world.
Its reputation for manufacturing strength and customizability continues to attract attention from global industries looking to adapt to consumer-driven trends such as glamping, which blends traditional camping with elements of modern comfort.
