From May 15 to 17, 2026, Asia Barbecue Expo 2026 will take place at the China Import & Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, positioning itself as a key international event for the barbecue, outdoor cooking, and garden living industries. The exhibition will bring together global brands, buyers, and industry professionals to explore the latest innovations shaping the future of outdoor living.
A rapidly growing global outdoor cooking market
Outdoor cooking has evolved from a seasonal activity into a lifestyle choice. Driven by the rise of camping culture, outdoor tourism, and changing consumer habits, particularly among younger generations, demand for barbecue and outdoor cooking equipment continues to grow worldwide.
According to industry forecasts, the global outdoor cooking market is expected to reach USD 9.73 billion by 2031, highlighting strong long-term growth and increasing interest in innovative, high-quality, and sustainable products.
Asia Barbecue Expo 2026, as a specialized exhibition within the World Garden Living Expo, directly responds to these market dynamics.
A comprehensive international trade platform
Organized by Guangdong Grandeur International Exhibition Group Co., Ltd., Asia Barbecue Expo 2026 aims to build a high-value international trade and exchange platform for outdoor barbecue and cooking brands.
Over three days, exhibitors will have the opportunity to showcase new products and technologies, expand distribution channels, connect with professional buyers, and accelerate their entry into global markets.
The 2026 edition will cover 25,000 square meters and is expected to host more than 300 exhibitors, feature over 1,000 new and premium products, and welcome more than 20,000 professional visitors from around the world.
Exhibits will span the entire industry chain, including barbecue grills, outdoor cooking equipment, tools and accessories, safety products, fuels, cleaning solutions, outdoor facilities, as well as food products, sauces, and seasonings.
Strong synergy within the World Garden Living Expo
Asia Barbecue Expo 2026 will be held concurrently with several thematic exhibitions under the World Garden Living Expo, covering flowers and gardening, patio decoration, landscape design, pool and spa, forestry equipment, WPC and wooden-frame houses, and garden products.
Together, these events will form a 100,000-square-meter one-stop trade platform encompassing the full outdoor living and garden industry ecosystem.
This cross-industry integration will create strong synergy, enabling exhibitors to reach a broader and more targeted buyer audience while unlocking new business opportunities across related sectors.
Guangzhou as a strategic global trade hub
Hosted in Guangzhou, one of China’s most established commercial and trading centers, Asia Barbecue Expo 2026 benefits from a strong outdoor industry foundation, mature supply chains, and a well-developed international business environment.
The exhibition will actively engage domestic and international buyers, regional distributors, cross-border e-commerce sellers, brand owners, and investors. Supported by Guangzhou’s cross-border e-commerce policies and the organizer’s experience in ASEAN markets, the event will provide exhibitors with diversified pathways to global market entry and international cooperation.
