The core contradiction is that consumer demands have changed—have our services kept up?

Business is getting harder, and the core contradiction is: consumer demands have changed—have our services kept up? From April 15-17, 2026, the 26th China Retail Industry Expo (2026 CHINASHOP) will debut in Hangzhou. The expo, themed 'Service Quality Enhancement,' deeply responds to the industry's fundamental transformation from 'transaction-driven' to 'experience-driven.' This industry event, covering approximately 100,000 square meters, bringing together nearly a thousand exhibitors and expected to attract over 70,000 professional visitors, aims to systematically explore feasible paths for retail service upgrades from dimensions such as technology empowerment, spatial experience, and supply chain efficiency, injecting momentum for the industry's transformation from a 'selling mindset' to a 'service mindset.' In April, Hangzhou will host a retail feast. **Expo Information** **26th China Retail Industry Expo** Time: April 15-17, 2026 Location: Hangzhou Grand Convention and Exhibition Center Halls: 2/3/4/5/6/7/8 **Panoramic View, Presenting the Industry Ecosystem** 2026 CHINASHOP, with its innovative architecture of **'Nine Sub-Expos + Six Zones'**, comprehensively constructs the entire retail industry chain from backend supply chain to frontend store experience. **Nine Sub-Expos precisely target vertical segments:** From the technological frontiers of international retail and smart retail, to the spatial aesthetics of retail display props and commercial lighting; from the supply chain support of cold chain logistics and fresh food processing, to the product strength of retail premium goods and high-end retail brands.
