PMEC China Shanghai

Pharmaceutical Machinery and Equipment China (PMEC China) is one of Asia’s leading trade fairs for pharmaceutical machinery and equipment. Held annually at the prestigious Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC), it is organized by Informa Markets, a global leader in trade show management. The event is exclusively open to industry professionals and serves as a key platform for stakeholders across the pharmaceutical sector—from multinational corporations to innovative start-ups.

As an integral part of CPhI China, PMEC China covers the entire pharmaceutical value chain. This comprehensive approach encourages targeted knowledge exchange and creates ideal conditions for networking, business development, and knowledge transfer. Initiatives such as the Hosted Buyer Program, which facilitates in-person meetings between international buyers and Chinese manufacturers, exemplify this strategy.

The exhibition focuses on specialized areas that reflect both current and emerging industry needs: pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment, packaging technologies, process automation, laboratory and analytical instruments, and digital solutions under the banner of Pharma 4.0. Highlights include sterilization systems (CIP/SIP), lyophilization technologies, serialization solutions, MES systems, robotics, and digital twins—key technologies for GMP-compliant production and for addressing regulatory and market-specific challenges.

A standout feature is the Start-Up Market, which gives emerging companies the opportunity to present their innovative solutions to investors and industry leaders. The event is further enhanced by dedicated exhibition zones such as Pharma Machinery, Packaging & Drug Delivery, Clean Technology & Environmental Protection, as well as Bioengineering and Life Science Instruments—ensuring focused discussions and meaningful expert exchange.

In China’s fast-evolving pharmaceutical market—shaped by regulatory shifts, intense innovation, and global competition—PMEC China has established itself as an essential platform for companies aiming not only to understand the Chinese market but also to actively shape it. More than just a trade show, it is a central hub for technological innovation, regulatory dialogue, and business growth in the Asian pharmaceutical industry.

The PMEC China will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 24. June to Thursday, 26. June 2025 in Shanghai.
