The 140th Canton Fair opens October 15, 2026, in Guangzhou. For international buyers sourcing lightweight mobility scooters for elderly users, bathroom safety products for seniors, and foldable rollators for adults, this is the most concentrated window to compare suppliers, test products, and negotiate pricing — all in one trip.
Why the 140th Canton Fair Matters for Mobility Scooter Buyers
The fair runs October 15 to November 4, 2026, across three phases. Premier Li Qiang will attend the opening ceremony, underscoring the event’s significance for global trade. Over 30,000 exhibitors are expected, with more than one-third being high-tech, specialized, or single-champion enterprises.
| Phase | Dates | Focus Categories |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Oct 15–19 | Advanced Manufacturing, New Energy Vehicles, Electric Mobility Components |
| Phase 2 | Oct 23–27 | Quality Home, Bathroom Equipment |
| Phase 3 | Oct 31–Nov 4 | Health & Leisure, Smart Medical, Rehabilitation |
Phase 1 is relevant for buyers sourcing electric mobility scooter components — batteries, motors, controllers, and lightweight frame materials. Many exhibitors in the New Energy Vehicles and Advanced Manufacturing sections supply upstream parts for mobility scooter assembly.
Bathroom safety products are concentrated in Phase 2. Lightweight mobility scooters for elderly and foldable rollators fall under Phase 3.

Lightweight Mobility Scooters for Elderly: Portability & Certification
Global demand for lightweight mobility scooters for elderly continues to rise as aging populations seek greater independence. Recent Canton Fair innovations point toward portability and compliance.
At the 139th Canton Fair, carbon fiber emerged as a defining material for premium electric mobility scooters. Guangdong Dayang Medical Technology showcased a carbon fiber electric wheelchair weighing less than one-third of traditional models — light enough to bring onto airplanes. Foshan Kaiyang demonstrated a stair-climbing wheelchair with automatic gradient sensing, supporting 1,120 steps per charge.
For folding mobility scooters for travel, compact detachable designs are gaining traction. INTCO Medical’s VIRGO-D features a five-piece breakdown design, ergonomic rotating seat, and electromagnetic braking — engineered for car trunks and air travel.

Bathroom Safety Products for Elderly: Dignity Through Design
The bathroom safety products for elderly category has moved far beyond basic grab bars. Today’s accessible bathroom equipment prioritizes user dignity and caregiver ergonomics.
At the 139th Canton Fair, Guangzhou Jianzhijie demonstrated a lie-flat bathing aid allowing bedridden users to shower while reclined, with height adjustment and hydrogen-water cleaning. Tangshan Fenghua showcased height-adjustable toilets raised to 480–520mm — just 8–12cm higher than standard, but significantly easier for seniors to sit and stand.
Wall-mounted grab bars for bathrooms now integrate directly into toilet frames, eliminating the institutional look. For shared care environments, antibacterial surfacing using visible light catalysis provides 24-hour protection against mold and bacteria.

Foldable Rollators for Elderly: Lightweight Mobility & Function
Foldable rollators for elderly remain a foundational category. Current offerings emphasize weight reduction and practical features.
INTCO Medical’s MOVO-F aluminum rollator walker combines a lightweight foldable frame with adjustable height, locking handbrakes, a built-in seat, and a storage basket — addressing portability, safety, and daily convenience.
For buyers sourcing lightweight walkers for seniors, Phase 3 (October 31–November 4) is the primary window. Hands-on testing of rollator maneuverability and frame stability remains a key draw for European, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern buyers.
