Guangzhou
Guangzhou is a major manufacturing, trading, and export city in southern China and one of the core pillars of the Pearl River Delta. The city combines large-scale industrial production with wholesale trade, design, and international commerce, making it a key sourcing and distribution center. Guangzhou has diversified manufacturing strengths across automotive production, electronics, appliances, chemicals, textiles, apparel, furniture, and consumer goods. Major manufacturers and joint ventures include GAC Group, Honda, Toyota, and Nissan in automotive manufacturing, alongside extensive supplier networks serving global brands across multiple sectors. The city is also closely associated with export trade through the Canton Fair, which anchors international sourcing activity. In addition to heavy and automotive industry, Guangzhou supports garment manufacturing, fabrics, packaging, plastics, lighting, and OEM consumer products, often produced in surrounding cities such as Foshan, Zhongshan, and Dongguan but traded and consolidated through Guangzhou. Guangzhou Port and proximity to Shenzhen and Hong Kong ports enable efficient global exports. Guangzhou is best suited for buyers sourcing automotive products, apparel, consumer goods, and multi-category OEM manufacturing where supplier access, trade infrastructure, and export connectivity are key advantages.
