China International Roofing & Waterproofing Expo R&W Shanghai

Since its inception in 2002, the China International Roofing & Waterproofing Expo (R&W) has established itself as the leading trade fair for roofing and waterproofing technologies in Asia. Held annually at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC) – one of China’s most advanced exhibition venues – the event attracts industry professionals from around the world to the economically vibrant city of Shanghai.

The R&W Expo is organized by the China National Building Waterproof Association (CNBWA), the country’s key industry body for building waterproofing. As a driving force behind technological advancement and innovation, the CNBWA ensures the fair's high professional standards and positions it as a central meeting point for manufacturers, planners, architects, and decision-makers from the construction sector.

The expo focuses on cutting-edge solutions for roofing and waterproofing systems. It showcases the latest technologies for roofs, façades, and underground structures, alongside forward-looking concepts such as solar roofing, green roofs, and cooling roof systems. The exhibition is further complemented by materials for metal, tile, and polymer roofs, construction chemicals, waterproof coatings, roofing equipment, and raw materials for roofing products. As such, the R&W provides a unique platform for companies to present and exchange ideas on innovations in energy efficiency, sustainability, and environmental responsibility.

A key feature of the event includes expert forums, seminars, and product demonstrations, where international specialists highlight current trends, research findings, and best practices. These sessions promote knowledge sharing and foster direct dialogue between manufacturers, users, and research institutions.

Exhibitors represent a wide range of sectors, including building materials, building technology, architecture, urban planning, environmental services, and energy. The audience primarily consists of architects, civil engineers, project developers, construction companies, and sales and procurement professionals from both domestic and international markets, all seeking new solutions and business partnerships.

With its state-of-the-art infrastructure, excellent transport connections, and central location in the heart of Shanghai’s economic hub, the SNIEC offers ideal conditions for exhibitors and visitors alike. The city itself impresses with its architectural diversity, economic dynamism, and cultural vibrancy – making participation in the R&W Expo not only professionally valuable but also culturally enriching.
