As the 15th Five-Year Plan designates new materials as a strategic emerging industry, powder processing technology is rapidly expanding from traditional chemicals into high-end new-energy and advanced-materials sectors. The domestic powder equipment market is worth around RMB 12 billion, with high-end segments such as ultra-fine milling and classification growing at 18%. Surging demand from battery materials, biopharma and advanced new materials is driving sustained orders for milling, classification, mixing, drying and conveying equipment, making equipment upgrades and domestic substitution urgent. Yet dust explosion risks for aluminum powder and lithium-battery powders are far higher than for conventional chemical powders, so dust explosion-proofing has become central to both industrial safety and equipment-market growth.

Approved by China's Ministry of Commerce and UFI-certified, CTEF 2027 (China International Chemical Technology & Equipment Exhibition) will be held June 3–5, 2027 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. It will feature a dedicated New Chemical Materials & New Energy Powder Processing Equipment Zone, sharing CTEF's full supply-chain resources. The show expects 70,000 sqm of exhibition space, 1,000+ exhibitors, 100,000+ professional visitors and 100+ technical presentations, delivering end-to-end powder-processing solutions for new materials.

02. Global Leaders Gather: Powder Equipment Brands Assemble

With over a decade deep in chemical equipment, the show has earned repeat participation from leading powder-processing players worldwide, including Hong Gong Tech, Jiangsu Migu, Shanghai Fluke, Shijiazhuang Rijia Powder, Xinxiang Zhenying Machinery, Cheng Yitong, Youwei Powder, SOPAT, Purui Taige, Weierdeng, Dalian Zhaohe, Liaoning Instrument Research Institute, Harbin Nano, Liantu Machinery, Lanzhou Ertong, Xinlongli Machinery, Aikesheng Vibrating Machinery, Xudong Machinery, Hede Screening Machinery and Tianjian Kainen Environmental Protection — a one-stop technical platform spanning core equipment to turnkey solutions.

Hong Gong Tech, a leader in bulk-material automation listed on the ChiNext board in April 2025, covers powder conveying, metering and batching, drying and packaging across the full process. It delivers "one-stop material-handling solutions" for battery materials and fine chemicals, and is a steady supplier to CALB, SVOLT, EVE Energy, Huayou Cobalt, Ronbay Technology, Shanshan and Changyuan Lithium — a core force in smart upgrades of new-material powder lines.

Jiangsu Migu specializes in jet mills and micron-classifiers, with fluidized-bed jet milling, ceramic-lined jet milling, and inert-gas-protected milling/classification widely used in lithium battery materials, advanced ceramics and pharma-chemicals. Its online-monitoring smart jet-milling system achieves millisecond closed-loop control of D50 and D97, moving the industry from "experience-based production" to "data-driven production".

Liantu Machinery is a specialist maker of closed powder feeding and negative-pressure conveying equipment, led by vacuum loaders and dust-free feeding stations. It delivers closed, low-loss, dust-free material transfer for food/pharma, fine chemicals and new-energy materials, and is a key supplier for the front-end feeding and conveying of clean, automated powder workshops.

Youwei Powder is a technology-driven Chinese specialist in powder-system handling equipment. Covering the full flow from powder feeding/discharging, vacuum conveying, weighing and batching, milling and screening through to automatic packaging, it delivers whole-line automation from raw-material storage to finished-product discharge for lithium-battery new energy, fine chemicals and food/pharma customers — a key driver of automation upgrades in downstream powder handling.

03. High-Decision Power: End-to-End Buyer Matchmaking

The show has built a database of hundreds of thousands of high-value domestic and overseas buyers across 20+ countries and regions. 85% of visitors have purchasing decision-making authority, spanning the whole chain: basic chemical feedstocks, lithium-battery energy materials, new chemical materials, pharma chemicals, agrochemicals and food chemicals.

On the international side, CTEF draws buyers from 67 countries and regions, with 88 overseas purchasing delegations on-site; over 70% of international buyers come from Belt and Road core regions. Major names such as Tatneft, Uralchem, PhosAgro and Samsung Engineering will all be present.

04. Technical Forums: Industry–Academia–Research–Application Explore the Frontier

Alongside the show, over ten technical events will be held, including the China International Chemical Technology & Equipment Innovation and Development Conference, the 2027 Summit Forum on Chemical Powder Explosion Protection and Industrial Dust Removal Safety, the 2027 Exchange on Powder Conveying, Dust Removal and Explosion Protection for New Energy & New Materials, and the 2027 Innovation Forum on Intelligent Material Conveying and Dust-Collection Systems for Chemicals. These events focus on the technical pain points and development paths of downstream powder equipment for new-energy materials and new chemical materials, bringing together industry, academia, research and end-users to build an exchange and cooperation platform for high-quality development. The 4th China Chemical Technology & Equipment "Golden Gear Award" ceremony will also take place, recognizing industry benchmarks.

05. International Matchmaking: A Global Gateway for Going Global

The show will run the CTEF 2027 International Procurement Matchmaking, Overseas Chemical Buyers' Exchange Day, EPC Procurement Matchmaking, and provincial/municipal international procurement sessions. Coordinating with official trade-promotion bodies, industry associations and leading enterprises worldwide, these events pre-invite global professional buyers and precisely connect overseas distributors, traders, EPC contractors and end-user chemical enterprises — helping exhibitors efficiently expand into overseas markets and quickly convert exhibits into orders.

06. Prime Booths: Book Early to Seize the Opportunity

According to MIIT, China's new-materials industry has reached RMB 8.7 trillion in output value, growing at double digits for 14 consecutive years. This continued expansion is directly driving upgrades and domestic substitution across powder processing equipment — milling, classification, mixing and conveying — putting the powder equipment sector in a golden growth period. The New Chemical Materials & New Energy Powder Processing Equipment Zone, a featured theme zone of CTEF 2027, will run June 3–5, 2027 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, sharing CTEF's 100,000+ professional visitors and full supply-chain resources.
