The 30th China International Pet Show (CIPS 2026) is set to take place from November 12–15, 2026, at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, China, marking three decades of growth as one of the world’s leading trade events for the pet and aquarium industries. Since its launch in 1997, CIPS has evolved into a major international platform connecting manufacturers, brands, distributors, buyers, media representatives and industry professionals from around the globe.
This year’s milestone edition will have 120,000 square metres of exhibition space and is projected to attract over 1,400 exhibitors as well as 80,000 professional visitors from over 120 countries and regions. The exhibition will cover a wide range of pet and aquarium sectors, showcasing the latest products, technologies, and services while also allowing delegates to uncover market trends, establish business partnerships, and explore new sourcing opportunities.
In addition to the exposition, CIPS 2026 will offer a comprehensive series of conferences, competitions, and industry events aimed at encouraging information sharing and professional development in the pet business.
The 2nd CIPS International Pet Industry Conference (CIPIC) is one of the main events, where industry professionals will debate global market changes, growing business possibilities, and the pet industry’s future orientation.
The exhibition will also include the third Aquatic Industry Convention, which will focus on innovation and sustainable development in the aquarium sector. Visitors can also take part in professional competitions and speciality events focusing on pet grooming, ornamental fish, aquascaping, and other niche areas that reflect the diversity of today’s global pet market.
To mark its 30th anniversary, CIPS has created the CIPS 30th Anniversary Recognition Programme: Growing with CIPS. The project welcomes exhibitors, buyers, media representatives, industry associations, presenters, experts, and long-term partners to share memorable experiences, successful collaborations, and personal anecdotes from their participation in the event throughout the years.
Selected submissions will be used in CIPS anniversary materials and activities, and contributors will receive official CIPS 30th Anniversary Recognition.
As CIPS marks this momentous milestone, the exhibition strengthens its position as an international hub for business networking, product discovery, and industry exchange. The 2026 edition, which brings together established enterprises as well as emerging innovators, intends to honour three decades of partnership while also supporting the future expansion of the global pet and aquarium sectors.
