China Trade Expo Egypt is the B2B bridge built for one clear purpose: to connect serious buyers in Egypt, Africa and the Middle East directly with verified wholesale suppliers and manufacturers from China. Hosted at the Cairo International Convention Centre (CICC), it turns three days in Cairo into a year’s worth of sourcing, networking and deal‑making with Chinese factories across more than a dozen sectors.
What Is China Trade Expo – Wholesale Suppliers?
China Trade Expo Egypt (CTEE) is a dedicated sourcing platform where Chinese manufacturers exhibit in Cairo so importers, distributors, retailers and project owners can meet them face to face. The 2026 edition is positioned as a premier B2B event featuring hundreds of verified exhibitors and a curated matchmaking programme for wholesale buyers.
The China Trade Expo - Wholesale Suppliers focuses purely on China–Egypt–Africa trade, aligning with Belt & Road cooperation and Egypt’s role as a regional logistics and manufacturing hub. For visitors, that means direct contact with factory decision‑makers, not just middlemen or online catalogues.
300+ Verified Exhibitors in 12+ Sectors
China Trade Expo – Wholesale Suppliers is not a niche show; it is designed as a one‑stop sourcing fair. Earlier China trade fairs in Egypt occupied around 10,000 square metres and hosted nearly 200 Chinese exhibitors with over 400 booths, showcasing everything “from a needle to an anchor.”
For 2026, promotional materials highlight:
300+ verified Chinese manufacturers exhibiting in Cairo.
12+ product sectors, including: industrial machinery, building materials, consumer electronics, home appliances, tools, furniture, lighting, textiles and more.
Previous editions featured goods such as home appliances, electronics, furniture, textiles, LED bulbs, leather products, gardening tools, building materials, forklifts and other heavy and light equipment. For wholesale buyers, that breadth allows side‑by‑side comparison of suppliers, prices and quality in one trip.
Why Wholesale Buyers Should Attend
China Trade Expo Egypt is built around wholesale growth, not casual browsing. Key advantages for buyers include:
Direct sourcing, no intermediaries: Organisers emphasise that attendees can connect directly with vetted Chinese manufacturers, shortening the supply chain and improving pricing and communication.
B2B matchmaking: A structured matchmaking programme pre‑schedules meetings between buyers and suitable suppliers, so you arrive with a clear agenda rather than wandering aisles at random.
Faster product validation: Seeing products at scale—touching samples, checking finishes, testing performance—accelerates decisions compared with weeks of emails and samples.
Scope for OEM/ODM deals: Many Chinese exhibitors are open to private‑label, custom specifications and long‑term contracts, which is vital for wholesalers building their own brands.
Because the expo targets buyers from Egypt, Africa and nearby markets, it also becomes a place to meet other importers and distributors, opening doors to regional partnerships and multi‑country distribution.
Egypt as a Strategic Gateway for Chinese Suppliers
The timing and location of China Trade Expo Egypt are not accidental. China has become one of Egypt’s top trade partners, and Chinese investment is rapidly expanding in Egyptian free zones and industrial parks.
For Chinese wholesale suppliers and manufacturers, Egypt offers:
Access to Africa, the Middle East and Europe via Suez Canal routes and trade agreements.
A cost‑competitive production base for those exploring local assembly or full manufacturing for the wider region.
For Egyptian and African buyers, the expo compresses this macro story into website a practical opportunity:
Meet manufacturers from multiple Chinese provinces without leaving Cairo.
Explore not just import deals, but also joint ventures, local warehousing and after‑sales service models.
Real‑world examples from past China trade fairs in Egypt include contracts in fountain landscape engineering and plans for large‑scale manufacturing projects that blend Chinese technology with Egyptian production.
