Exhibition Introduction
The Value of Participating in the Guangzhou Amusement Equipment Exhibition—China’s Global Amusement Expo (GTI)
- One of China’s largest and most internationally oriented B2B trade platforms for the amusement equipment sector. The Guangzhou International Amusement Equipment Industry Exhibition (GTI Guangzhou) is co‑organized by the China Cultural Entertainment Industry Association, Guangzhou Convention & Exhibition Service Center Co., Ltd., and GTI Global Esports Corporation. Since its inception in 1993, it has been successfully held more than twenty times and is widely recognized within the industry as a leading indicator of China’s amusement equipment sector development and a key gateway for global amusement equipment manufacturers seeking access to the Chinese and Asian markets.
- A one-stop showcase covering the entire industry value chain. The exhibition encompasses all stages of the industry, from indoor amusement parks, theme parks, and water parks to children’s playgrounds, VR/AR/MR devices, electronic gaming equipment, inflatable amusement gear, mechanical amusement rides, outdoor sports products, and park planning and design services. Whether it’s large roller coasters or water slides, small capsule machines or claw machines, traditional amusement facilities or metaverse immersive experiences, exhibitors can complete end-to-end connections—from product display and brand exposure to commercial negotiations—within this platform.
- Precise alignment with global core buyers and industry resources. With an exhibition area of 80,000 square meters in 2026, the event will bring together over 500 exhibiting companies and attract approximately 100,000 professional visitors and buyers from around the globe. These professional buyers include decision-makers from arcades, children’s playgrounds, theme parks, scenic attractions, shopping malls, KTVs, and other sectors. International buyers hail from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North America, Russia, and other regions, enabling exhibitors to directly engage with some of the world’s most influential purchasing groups.
- Unique value for Chinese enterprises—strategic engine for expanding into international markets. GTI Guangzhou serves as a central platform for Chinese amusement equipment companies to showcase proprietary technologies, connect with international clients, and secure overseas orders. Supported by the Chinese government’s policy encouraging cultural and entertainment enterprises to “go global”—including tariff reductions on exports of Chinese amusement equipment—this platform provides a competitive edge in overseas markets. Furthermore, in 2019, GTI Guangzhou, together with Guangzhou Convention & Exhibition Service Center Co., Ltd., jointly established the “China Game & Amusement Management Business School,” dedicated to cultivating high‑level, multidisciplinary managerial talent and elevating the overall operational standards of the industry.
- Frontier of technological innovation and industry trends. At the exhibition, metaverse immersive devices, AI‑powered claw machines, fully automated unmanned capsule machines, and VR esports equipment have become standout innovations. Additionally, a novel capsule machine combining “capsule sales, gift sales, and an online mall,” along with an intelligent claw machine designed to accurately grasp objects and adapt to children’s gripping preferences, are setting new trends in entertainment consumption. Exhibiting companies can leverage these developments to gain insights into the industry’s shift toward “intelligence, automation, and immersion,” seizing opportunities in the evolving market for upgraded cultural and entertainment experiences.
- Guangzhou’s locational and industrial advantages. Held at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, the exhibition benefits from the city’s strategic position at the heart of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area—one of China’s most important production and export hubs for game and amusement equipment. Leveraging Guangzhou’s status as an international trade center and its reputation as a “millennial commercial metropolis,” GTI Guangzhou offers exhibitors a strategic platform for connecting with both national and global markets.
