Information on Swimming Pool Industry Trade Shows

In the realm of import, export, and international trade, the term “Canton Fair for the swimming pool industry” generally refers to one of two things: the swimming pool exhibition section within the Canton Fair (China Import and Export Fair) itself, or the Asia Pool & Spa Expo—an event held at the same venue and often hailed as the “Oscars of the global pool and spa industry.”

1.Canton Fair (Exhibition areas relevant to swimming pools)

The Canton Fair is held twice a year (in the spring and autumn), with each session divided into three phases. Products related to swimming pools and their auxiliary equipment are typically distributed across various specialized exhibition areas.

Spring Session: April 23–April 27 (Phase II).

Autumn Session: October 23–October 27 (Phase II).

Note: Swimming pool equipment, modular/prefabricated pools, and backyard/patio amenities are generally showcased during Phase II, categorized under segments such as “Building and Decorative Materials,” “Sanitary Ware,” or “Outdoor Furniture and Camping/Leisure Products.”

Key Characteristics: The fair focuses primarily on large-scale export trade and OEM/ODM manufacturing orders. Most of China’s leading swimming pool manufacturers and export-oriented enterprises participate in the event.

2.Asia Pool & Spa Expo (A Specialized Industry Trade Show)

If you are looking for a major, highly specialized trade exhibition dedicated exclusively to the swimming pool, spa, and sauna industry, the event held at the Canton Fair Complex—known as the Asia Pool & Spa Expo—is the primary choice within the sector.

It is held annually in mid-May (typically from May 15th to May 17th) as a dedicated spring-season exhibition.

The product range covers the entire industry chain, including integrated pool systems, modular/prefabricated pools, water treatment and disinfection solutions, constant-temperature heat pumps, whirlpool bathtubs, sauna equipment, and aquatic amusement facilities.
