Extrusion 1-2026

tors including new energy vehicles, low-altitude economy, aerospace, rail transportation, humanoid robotics, wind power and photovoltaics, CHINAPLAS 2026 will focus on “driving application upgrades with material in- novation” and feature the renewal of advanced frontier materials. Diversi- fied modified plastics and special thermoplastic elastomers enhance the strength and electrical conducti- vity of plastics and rubber products, making them suitable for new energy vehicles’ batteries and aerospace seals; high-performance engineering plastics offer resistance to both high and low-temperatures, as well as cor- rosion for high-end equipment; light and durable thermoplastic composi- tes materials have become critical On April 21 to 24, 2026 , the indus- try’s acclaimed trade fair - CHINAPLAS 2026 will take place at National Exhi- bition and Convention Center (NECC) in Hongqiao, Shanghai, PR China. As one of the global leading plastics and rubber exhibitions, this edition is ex- pected to span over 390,000 square meters across 16 exhibition halls, and bring together more than 4,600 exhi- bitors from around the world to show- case breakthroughs in new materials, intelligent innovations and green transformations. The trade fair aims to strengthen the industries’ upgrade towards high-end, intelligent, and green development, as well as the transition from “Made in China” to “In- novated in China”. Evolving with Time : Amidst the acce- lerated revolution in technology, energy and industries worldwide, the new quality productive forces, parti- cularly in innovation and green low- carbon, have become crucial drivers of high-quality development. CHINA- PLAS 2026 precisely captures these in- dustry trends by gathering top global exhibitors to present cutting-edge products and solutions, thereby con- structing an ecosystem of industrial innovation. Breakthroughs in New Materials : With rapid growth in downstream sec- CHINAPLAS 2026 – Quality Growth Driven by Technology, Thriving Future Powered by Green Solutions supporting materials for the low-alti- tude economy and humanoid robot industries. Intelligent Evolution : Artificial intelli- gence and automation technologies are restructuring the manufacturing logic of the plastics and rubber indus- tries, accelerating their transition into the “smart manufacturing era”. At CHINAPLAS 2026, comprehensive in- telligent manufacturing solutions re- shaping the entire production chain will be showcased – from automated injection molding, extrusion and blow molding production lines, to industrial IoT-driven digital management sys- tems, intelligent inspection and quality control platforms. These advance- ments enable enterprises to improve production efficiency and optimize labor costs, further driving the manu- facturing industry’s leap from auto- mation to intelligence. Green Transformation : In reaching the national carbon peaking and neu- trality “Dual Carbon” goals in China, green and low-carbon solutions have become the crucial factors for high- quality growth. They have also laid the pivotal path for sustainable develop- ment of plastics and rubber indus- tries. CHINAPLAS 2026 will introduce numerous innovative environmental and carbon reduction technologies and solutions, providing clear directi- ons for enterprises to achieve green transformation.
