The 2026 Global Export Trade Fair (Ningbo) will run from May 27 to 29 at both the Ningbo International Conference and Exhibition Center and the Yuyao China Plastics City International Exhibition Center.

The event has become a key platform for China's booming cross-border trade sector since its launch in 2021. This year marks the expo's first "dual-venue" edition, with more than 90,000 square meters of exhibition space across 13 halls and over 3,000 manufacturers, platforms, and service providers from industrial clusters nationwide. Organizers expect more than 100,000 visitors during the three-day event.

The expo highlights the "cross-border e-commerce plus industrial cluster" model, with 83 percent of exhibitors representing supply chain enterprises. The Ningbo venue will feature categories such as home furnishings, pet and baby products, outdoor goods, electronics, lighting, tools, automotive accessories, and gifts, while the Yuyao venue focuses on home appliances and related industries.

Major global e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Wayfair, Mercado Libre, Coupang, OTTO, Alibaba International Station, and Made-in-China.com will participate alongside more than 190 service providers covering logistics, payments, digital marketing, and compliance consulting.

More than 50 industry events, including AI-focused forums and compliance summits, will also be held to help businesses adapt to trends in intelligent and globalized trade.
