Riding the Industry Wave: The Patio and Garden Industry's "Second Growth Curve" in Ch
Driven powerfully by significant consumer demand and the policy dividends from national ecological initiatives, China's patio and garden sector is transitioning from its initial rapid expansion phase into a pursuit of quality, intelligence, and sustainability. This "Second Growth Curve" is projected to push the market size well past RMB 200 billion (approx. $28 Billion USD) by 2026. This momentum signifies more than mere numerical growth; it's a profound shift toward digitalization, bespoke solutions, and service integration, while emerging models like "Shared Community Gardens" and "Courtyard + Cultural Tourism" are dramatically expanding our operational and creative boundaries.
"In the past, a private garden was a luxury; today, it's an essential component of a high-quality lifestyle." said from Senior Industry Designer A. Wang. “We must adopt smarter, more eco-conscious materials and design philosophies to meet the aesthetic and functional demands of the new generation of homeowners.”
2026: An Optimized Nexus for the Future
Sustained industry growth necessitates a powerful platform for knowledge exchange and resource consolidation. Following the highly successful Guangzhou debut in 2025—which immediately established itself as the critical convergence point for the South China garden supply chain—the 2026 CPGE -China Pool and Garden Expo (previously known as CP Show) is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade from March 23rd to 25th, 2026, at the Guangzhou R&F Global Fashion Exhibition Center. We view this event as the industry's "Accelerator," strategically designed to pool collective strength and chart the growth trajectory for the next decade.
"We exhibit not just to sell products, but to find new partners. CPGE Expo offers a platform with high-value resource alignment venue that enables direct dialogue with designers, luxury developers, and even international sourcing delegations." Quote from Michael. Chen, the sales director from Mona Lisa.
The "Three-Expo Synergy": Breaking Boundaries to Reshape Premium Lifestyle
The most significant strategic move for 2026 is the "Three-Expo Synergy," which profoundly integrates three core themes: Courtyard & Landscape Design, Villa Design & Technology, and Luxury Pool & SPA Solutions. This initiative signifies a deliberate move to dismantle traditional industry silos, creating a complete ecosystem centered around "Outdoor and Premium Home Leisure Living." The exhibition footprint will double to 20,000 square meters, bringing together over 300 pioneering companies. This setup offers professional buyers an efficient, integrated sourcing and learning environment, and provides exhibitors with an unparalleled opportunity for cross-sector collaboration and tapping into diverse high-net-worth client bases.
Design Drives Value, Global Reach Enables Strategic Vision
Design remains the soul of industry advancement. The flagship annual "4th Golden Pen Award" Design Competition is now open—a crucial bridge connecting creative design, material application, and market demand. Concurrently, a lineup of high-profile forums, such as the Courtyard Garden Industry Development Forum, will host government officials, international experts, and corporate leaders to dissect industry data, pioneering technologies, and sustainable development roadmaps.
Crucially, CPGE Expo is intensifying its globalization efforts. We are dedicated to serving as the definitive link for the global villa and garden industry. Through precision international buyer invitations, we facilitate the global export of domestic technologies and products, while simultaneously offering overseas brands a fast-track VIP entry into China's vast consumer market. This makes CPGE Expo a strategic high ground for any enterprise focused on global expansion.
