The 2026 Hunan (Liling) International Ceramic Industry Expo opened on September 29 at the China Ceramics Valley convention center, running through October 3 under the theme "Porcelain Capital of a Thousand Years". Five halls spanning 30,000 square meters with 1,350 booths host 302 exhibitors from 22 countries and regions, covering tableware, art ceramics, electrical porcelain and advanced ceramics across the full supply chain. New collections made their global debut at the opening, with 26 side events including a factory open week.
For overseas buyers in homeware, tableware and building materials, this is one of the most direct sourcing windows into China's county-level industrial clusters this quarter: Liling dominates China's electrical-porcelain grid market and has a mature export base in daily-use and art ceramics, with on-site factory access and live e-commerce supply channels. Buyers who miss it can pick up ceramics cluster delegations at Canton Fair and CIIE from October.
