It is learned that 2026 has been judged by many authoritative institutions as the "first year of cycle reversal" for China's chemical industry. Driven by the policy dividends of the deepened Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality goals and the "Large-scale Equipment Renovation" initiative, the industry is shifting from scale expansion to quality improvement. The Work Plan for Stabilizing the Growth of the Petrochemical and Chemical Industry (2025-2026) jointly issued by seven ministries and commissions including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology clearly supports the industry's transformation towards high-end, intelligent and green development. Meanwhile, the National Development and Reform Commission has set up a special fund of RMB 300 billion to support intelligent transformation, which is expected to release an equipment renewal demand of over RMB 800 billion, bringing historic opportunities for the chemical equipment industry.

The China International Chemical Technology and Equipment Expo (CTEF for short) will be grandly held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from June 9 to 11, 2026. Approved by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China and hosted by Zhenwei International Exhibition Group, the expo will be built into a "Global Premier Platform for Chemical Equipment Launches and Debuts" in 2026. It focuses on the high-end, green and intelligent upgrading of the chemical industry driven by national strategies, centrally demonstrates the achievements of scientific and technological innovation empowering the new productive forces of the chemical industry, and showcases the "complete strength and transformation determination of China's chemical equipment industrial chain".

As an annual international chemical equipment conference, CTEF covers the entire chemical production chain around eight cutting-edge fields: core chemical processes and unit operations, special materials and anti-corrosion for chemical equipment, smart chemical industry and digital transformation, fluid conveying equipment, chemical process safety and explosion-proof technical equipment, instruments and meters and automation systems, chemical process R&D and analysis, and chemical environmental protection technical equipment. It presents a panoramic view of the latest technological breakthroughs and application achievements in the domestic and international chemical equipment field to the industry.

In 2026, CTEF will focus on building a full-chain empowerment ecosystem of "First Launch & Debut - Capital - Channels", and highlight four technological breakthrough points: Micro-chemical and Continuous, Flow Process Equipment Green Low-Carbon and Inherently Safer Technology, Digital and Intelligent Chemical Equipment, Localization of High-end Materials and Core Equipment.

 Relying on the professional audience flow of over 100,000 person-times from more than 30 countries and regions worldwide, as well as a series of heavyweight concurrent events such as "more than 10 forum activities", "Chemical Industry Investment and Financing Matchmaking Summit" and "Global Procurement Matchmaking Fair", CTEF forms a complete closed loop from technology exposure and capital connection to trade realization.

We sincerely solicit innovative and market-competitive new products, technologies and ideas from around the world, and invite enterprises to step onto the exclusive stage for the first launch and debut of CTEF 2026. Let innovation be seen, technology be widely applied and cooperation be realized, and join hands to start a new chapter of growth.
