The concurrent event CBS (Guangzhou) also presented an ecological outlook of the building and decoration industry in all aspects.
The building and decoration industry is entering a new cycle of structural reform, which poses phased, short-term, and exterior influences, away from the internal growth momentum. Along with the ongoing industry reform and adjustment, the 26th CBD (Guangzhou) fully exerts its strength and resources to empower the building and decoration industry. These efforts manifest the vigor and significance of the industry and create more possibilities for increasing diversity of the consumer market. While shaping and reinforcing its core advantages, the CBD (Guangzhou) has been dedicated to supporting enterprises to move ahead free from uncertainties and stabilizing market conditions for industrial development for the generation and growth of new productive forces.

In order to fully exert its advantages of resources as a “national” platform to promote domestic enterprises worldwide. Also, CBD World-Connect brings in high-quality foreign enterprises in building the “dual circulation” pattern in which domestic economic cycle plays a leading role while international economic cycle remains its extension and supplement.
Challenges bring opportunities while reform boosts growth. The successful conclusion of the CBD (Guangzhou) at its 26th edition highlighted its tenacity and strength and indicated the great potential for a promising future of the building and decoration industry.
The CBD (Guangzhou) will continue to leverage its resources to promote business transformation from an exhibition platform to an industry-empowering platform serving the whole year for the whole chain in all channels with focus on dealers, decorators, designers, foreign traders, new media, and public architectural designers. In 2025, the “5+1” Layout will be upgraded into the "Three Ecologies" strategy, encompassing Indoor Space, Building Exteriors & Outdoor Environment, and Material & Hardware & Machinery.
