AOBE Asia Outdoor Kitchen & Barbecue Equipment Expo Guangzhou 15. – 17. May 2027 | Trade fair for the latest trends in grilling and outdoor cooking

The AOBE – Asia Outdoor Kitchen & Barbecue Equipment Expo in Guangzhou is an international trade and consumer exhibition dedicated to the barbecue, grilling and outdoor cooking industry, with a particular focus on trade visitors. The event is organised by Guangdong Grandeur International Exhibition Group, an experienced exhibition organiser with an extensive network across Asia and many years of expertise in developing international industry platforms.

AOBE takes place at the Canton Fair Complex (China Import and Export Fair Complex) in Guangzhou, one of China’s largest and most important exhibition venues. Guangzhou is one of the country’s leading economic, commercial and manufacturing centres and is located in the economically powerful Pearl River Delta, within the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area. The region is home to a particularly high concentration of manufacturers, suppliers, exporters and international trading companies.

AOBE – Asia Outdoor Kitchen & Barbecue Equipment Expo covers the entire value chain of the modern barbecue and outdoor cooking industry. The exhibition showcases barbecue and cooking equipment including gas, charcoal, pellet and electric grills, smokers and modular outdoor kitchen systems. The product range also encompasses professional outdoor kitchen equipment such as hobs, ovens, refrigeration systems and extraction solutions. Other exhibits include fuels, cleaning and safety products, as well as smart control and energy-saving technologies, ranging from precision temperature control to energy-efficient and solar-assisted solutions.
Another key area is ingredients, seasonings, marinades, sauces and other speciality food products developed for the international barbecue market. This culinary dimension adds a sensory and inspirational element to the exhibition alongside its strong technical focus. The event also presents services for the planning, refurbishment and operation of barbecue restaurants, together with digital point-of-sale systems, ordering solutions and franchise concepts. As such, the exhibition is aimed at manufacturers, distributors, hospitality operators and systems providers alike.
Exhibitors include companies specialising in barbecue and kitchen equipment, outdoor living, energy technology, food production, catering equipment, chain restaurant concepts and smart technologies. Trade visitors primarily come from specialist retail, wholesale and retail distribution, restaurants and foodservice, the hotel and catering sectors, as well as companies involved in importing, exporting, distribution and the planning of outdoor kitchens and hospitality concepts.
Alongside new products and market launches, one of the exhibition’s distinguishing features is its programme of industry-specific presentations and live demonstrations. These highlight craftsmanship, technological innovation and international barbecue culture. In this way, AOBE promotes exchange between international brands, Chinese manufacturers and regional markets while supporting the continued development of the barbecue and outdoor cooking industry across Asia.
AOBE – Asia Outdoor Kitchen & Barbecue Equipment Expo forms part of an international exhibition platform for the barbecue and outdoor cooking industry. Guangzhou provides an especially attractive setting for the event. The Canton Fair Complex offers modern, high-capacity exhibition infrastructure, extensive exhibition space and facilities designed to accommodate major international events. Guangzhou also benefits from excellent international air connections via Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, as well as efficient transport links across the metropolitan area and to other major commercial centres within the Greater Bay Area.
AOBE therefore combines a professional trade-show environment with one of China’s most dynamic manufacturing, commercial and innovation hubs. Modern exhibition facilities, excellent international accessibility, a strong industrial base and close proximity to a large network of manufacturers and suppliers create ideal conditions for sourcing, business development, technology partnerships and sustainable international expansion.
