What the fair covers

Cosmetics, personal care products, packaging and salon equipment are covered. Cosmetics and homecare ingredients and formulations. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.

Dates, venue and getting there

The fair runs from 24 February to 26 February 2027 at China Import & Export Fair Complex (Pazhou), Guangzhou in Guangzhou. It runs for 3 days, which is short, so deciding which halls to prioritise before arriving makes a difference. Guangzhou is the traditional centre of Chinese export trade and its main exhibition complex is among the largest in the world. The city is well connected by metro, and high speed rail links it to Shenzhen and Hong Kong in under an hour, which makes combining several visits in one trip realistic.

Planning your visit

Consumer product buying is physical. Handling the item, checking the finish under exhibition lighting and comparing two similar pieces side by side are things a catalogue cannot replace. Most buyers work a shortlist of halls, collect samples, and use the fair to narrow a long supplier list to a few worth visiting at their factories. For PCHi , Personal Care & Homecare Ingredients, that means preparing ahead of the February dates and arriving with a target list of stands.

Language and interpreting support

Most exhibitors are Chinese manufacturers, and while larger stands often have English speaking sales staff, that is not something to rely on across a whole venue. English tends to run out exactly where it matters most, once a conversation moves to specifications, tolerances, materials and pricing terms. Buyers working with an interpreter generally cover more ground in a day, because they can negotiate directly rather than through a phone app. An interpreter already working in Guangzhou saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.

After the fair

Consumer goods are where sample and production quality diverge most often. Colour can shift between batches, materials can be substituted, and finish quality varies with the production line rather than the factory. Ask for samples drawn from the actual production run, and arrange an inspection during production or before shipment on a first order.
