On October 21, 2026, the Launching Ceremony of Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Industry Public Service Platform (English version) and the 2023-2025 Shenzhen Brand Exhibitions Award Ceremony was held in Shenzhen, PR China. The International Exhibition on Plastics and Rubber Industries (CHINAPLAS) was officially awarded the “Shenzhen Brand Exhibitions (2023-2025)” by the Commerce Bureau of Shenzhen Municipality, in recognition of its industrial empowerment capability, industry leadership and international influence.

This official recognition affirms CHINAPLAS’s position as a leading global barometer for the plastics and rubber industries.

Over 40 Years of Industry Leadership

Founded in 1983, CHINAPLAS has been deeply rooted in the plastics and rubber industries for more than four decades. It has evolved from a single product trading and display platform into a global industrial hub integrating technology launches, trend insights, strategic cooperation and industry-academia-research collaboration.

Recent editions have set new records:

CHINAPLAS 2025 (Shenzhen): Over 380,000 sqm of exhibition space, 4,616 global exhibitors and 281,206 professional visitors including 24.37% from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Regions (China) and overseas.
CHINAPLAS 2026 (Shanghai): 400,000 sqm of exhibition space, 5,104 exhibitors from home and abroad, and 350,189 professional visitors, of which 24.68% came from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Regions (China) and overseas, marking another historic high.

These results highlight the strong resilience and innovation vitality of the plastics and rubber value chain.

A Milestone—and a New Beginning

Being awarded as “Shenzhen Brand Exhibitions” marks an important milestone for CHINAPLAS—and also the beginning of a new chapter. As Shenzhen prepares to host the APEC China 2026 with the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, its position as a global hub for technology, advanced manufacturing and cross border cooperation continues to grow.

Building on Shenzhen’s dynamic innovation ecosystem, CHINAPLAS will further strengthen its role as an international platform for exchange and collaboration. It will help businesses gain industry insights, connect with global resources and explore new market opportunities, while contributing to Shenzhen to become an international exhibition capital.
