Recently, the 37th China International Plastics & Rubber Industry Exhibition was successfully held at Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center under China Merchants Industrial Park. Boasting an exhibition area of over 380,000 square‑meters and occupying all 19 exhibition halls of the venue, the event set a new record for exhibitions hosted at Shenzhen World.
As a grand global gathering for the plastics and rubber industry, this edition showcased the full industrial chain of plastics and rubber technologies. Running for four days from April 15 to 18, the show drew 151,000 visitors on its opening day, with total attendance exceeding 500,000 throughout the event. More than 4,500 high‑quality exhibitors from 39 countries and regions took part, among which over 980 were “Specialized, Refined, Unique & Innovative” enterprises, including 260 national‑level “Little Giant” firms, fully demonstrating the outstanding appeal of “High‑end Technology, Made in China”.
Centered on the theme “Transformation · Collaboration · Shaping Sustainability Together”, the exhibition focused on four key priorities: circular economy, digitalized production, innovative materials and high‑end tech‑driven Chinese manufacturing. It showcased cutting‑edge global technological achievements alongside a series of high‑level concurrent events, featuring three major highlights: comprehensiveness, innovation and high quality. Numerous groundbreaking industry achievements were unveiled, with more than 120 technologies making their global or Asian debuts. A large array of innovative, cost‑effective practical solutions were presented to help plastics and rubber manufacturers cut costs and boost efficiency. Over 30 high‑end forums were held in parallel, covering hot topics such as lightweight materials for new‑energy vehicles and material applications for low‑altitude economy. These sessions built an integrated platform linking industry, academia, research and end‑user applications, facilitating deeper integration of China’s plastics and rubber technologies into the global innovation chain.
Notably, Chinese “Specialized, Refined, Unique & Innovative” enterprises accounted for an increasing share of CHINAPLAS 2025. This reflects the robust strength of China’s plastics and rubber technologies, elevates the international discourse power and influence of China’s plastics‑rubber sector, and creates valuable opportunities for Chinese enterprises to “go global” and expand overseas markets.
As a large‑scale high‑end exhibition with outstanding professional influence, CHINAPLAS generates substantial economic benefits for catering, hospitality and commercial sectors in Shenzhen World and surrounding areas through its powerful economic spill‑over effect. It also comprehensively raises Shenzhen’s profile within the global plastics‑rubber industry and broader international technology landscape, injecting fresh momentum into urban development.
China Merchants Industrial Park has built a broad industrial platform. Condensing global market trends and updates within the venue, it assembles robust industry forces to realize more efficient resource allocation and upgrade industrial chain capabilities. Leveraging exhibition venues and adopting the “Industry + Exhibition” strategy, it establishes a top‑tier platform for industry‑wide exchange and cooperation.
