Priority will be given to regions that demonstrate a proactive approach, a willingness to engage in joint projects, and a high level of organizational support," REC representative. CICPE 2026 is China's largest duty-free trade fair for a wide range of consumer goods, from fast-moving to luxury. It is a key platform for international brands to enter the Chinese market.
