What's in Canton Fair Phase 2 (Quality Home Life)?
The full list of what phase 2 actually covers, and which categories already have a fair-or-market verdict written up.
Canton Fair’s second phase is themed Quality Home Life, and it’s built around what goes into and around a home: decor, tableware, furniture, building materials, and gifts. If your sourcing falls into one of these areas, this is the phase to attend.
What phase 2 covers
The official categories grouped under this phase span general and art ceramics, kitchenware and tableware, glass artware, household items and home decorations, gardening products, weaving and rattan and iron products, festival products and gifts and premiums, clocks and watches and optical instruments, building and decorative materials, sanitary and bathroom equipment, furniture, fashion jewellery, and prefabricated house and courtyard facilities.
Building materials sits here, not in phase 1 with the rest of manufacturing — worth double-checking if you’re working from an assumption rather than this list, since getting it wrong means arriving for the wrong week.
Categories with a fair-or-market verdict
The rest of phase 2 — ceramics and tableware, home decor, and watches and jewellery — doesn’t have a dedicated comparison page yet.
What’s next
Back to all categories if you’re sourcing something outside phase 2, or read how the three phases are structured if you’re still working out which one you need.
