Scheduled from March 12 to 15, 2026, the Appliance & Electronics World Expo (AWE2026) will take place under the theme "AI Technology, Smart Future" at both the Shanghai New International Expo Center and the Shanghai Oriental Hub International Business Cooperation Zone simultaneously. The event, organized by the China Household Electrical Appliances Association (CHEAA), will partner with leading platforms to conduct numerous consumption-boosting activities throughout the expo, aiming to spur demand for home appliance upgrades. Enhancing domestic consumption stands as a pivotal strategic goal set by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Serving as a vital platform for implementing policies related to the replacement of old consumer goods with new ones, AWE has a track record of successfully organizing similar events, yielding outstanding outcomes. As 2026 marks the inaugural year of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the association is set to stimulate fresh consumer demand within the industry through initiatives like the AWE Upgrade Consumption Festival. This will encourage enhancements in quality and upgrades in home appliance consumption, providing a fresh impetus for the industry's high-quality development.
