Home Fragrance Charms the 137th Canton Fair

GUANGZHOU, China, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- From April 23 to 27, Hall 19.1 in Area D of the Canton Fair Complex was filled not only with eye-catching displays but also with inviting scents, as exhibitors showcase home fragrances, candles, and lifestyle decor products in Phase 2 of the 137th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair).

The global home fragrance market was valued at USD 11 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%, reaching nearly USD 17.27 billion by 2032. Amid this expansion, Chinese companies are emerging as major players, combining innovation with large-scale manufacturing capabilities to meet diverse global needs.

Shanghai Outstanding Industry Co., Ltd., a fragrance-focused enterprise, exemplifies this trend. The company's CEO Michael Lu noted that they launched 12 new series this session, highlighting the importance of research and development. Product design also emphasizes aesthetics to enhance home spaces. Lu said that consumers increasingly value "organic," "natural," and "environmentally friendly" fragrances, prompting the company to introduce the first carbon-neutral home fragrance product.

Similarly, Litbright Candle (Shijiazhuang) Co., Ltd is expanding its presence through continuous innovation. General Manager Sophia Lee shared that alongside their core offerings, the company actively develops new product lines, bringing each new series to the Fair to connect with both loyal and prospective buyers. She observed that global demand is not only increasing but also becoming more sophisticated, with growing interest in fruit-based, woody, and even gourmand-inspired scents.

As one of the world's most influential trade platforms, the Canton Fair continues to play a pivotal role in the global development of the fragrance industry. For Chinese fragrance companies seeking to expand their global footprint, the Fair remains a crucial gateway.

Having participated in the Canton Fair for nearly two decades, Lu shared that most of their clients are met at the Fair. "At the Canton Fair, our products naturally attract buyers from niche markets around the world, allowing the right scent, design, and values to meet the right customers," he said. Lee, also a longtime exhibitor, added, "The Canton Fair has built a strong global reputation. For international buyers seeking new products, it's the first destination."

The continued participation of fragrance-focused companies underscores how the Canton Fair connects Chinese enterprises with global markets, fosters lasting partnerships, and serves as both a launchpad and a world stage for the growing fragrance economy.

BEIJING, Jan. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 29, the "Forging the Path to National Strength: China's Manufacturing Achievements Under the 14th Five-Year Plan," jointly organized by the National Museum of China and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, officially opened at the National Museum of China, showcasing more than 300 top national achievements. GAC's "National Outstanding Engineer Team" successfully developed both the Magazine Battery and the Solid-State Battery, which were selected for the exhibition.

The GAC Magazine Battery is the first battery system to pass both the nail penetration no-flame and non-ignition safety tests. By utilizing ultra-high intrinsic safety cells, an all-weather "vehicle-end + cloud-based" active safety monitoring system, and a multi-dimensional safety protection system, the Magazine Battery achieves three layers of protection: core, active, and passive. Its safety performance far exceeds the electric vehicles traction battery safety requirements (GB38031-2025), which will take effect on July 1, 2026. Currently, the Magazine Battery has a cumulative deployment of 1.3 million vehicles with zero spontaneous combustion and over 50 billion kilometers of safe travel, providing users with robust safety assurance for every journey.

GAC's self-developed large-capacity solid-state battery has achieved an energy density exceeding 400 Wh/kg and easily passes rigorous safety tests such as 200°C thermal chamber and nail penetration tests, effectively addressing users' range anxiety and safety concerns. Innovations in materials and processes have placed the solid-state battery at the forefront of the industry in key indicators such as safety, energy density, and cycle life, providing a superior power solution for the future development of NEVs. Currently, a pilot production line for GAC's solid-state battery has been established, capable of mass-producing vehicle-grade solid-state batteries over 60 Ah, marking a critical step toward the goal of full vehicle integration by 2026.

Over the years, GAC has been steadily enhancing its competitiveness through innovations across intelligent connectivity, NEV powertrains technologies, and forward-looking technologies. Looking ahead, GAC will continue to deepen its efforts in the intelligent connected NEV field, leveraging more leading technological achievements to drive industry progress.
