Key facts about IACE CHINA 2026
General information
55,000+ m², 1,000+ exhibitors, 80,000+ professional visits
IACE CHINA 2026 will take place on March 24–26, 2026 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), a venue designed for large-scale industrial events and high-density B2B meetings.
IACE China
The 2026 show profile highlights a planned scale of 55,000+ m², 1,000+ exhibitors, 2,000+ participating brands and 80,000+ professional visits, which is operationally meaningful for buyers because it suggests a concentrated supplier landscape and strong comparability across competing solutions. In advanced ceramics, procurement decisions are typically constrained by strict performance and reliability requirements, so the value of the exhibition is not “seeing products” but compressing the qualification process: confirming process capability, discussing technical documentation and standards, evaluating supply stability, and aligning on cooperation models such as sample programmes, pilot orders and long-term supply agreements. The exhibition also highlights an extensive conference content layer with 100+ technical/academic reports and broad media participation, reinforcing the show’s role as a combined sourcing and knowledge platform for the advanced ceramics industry.

Themes
Advanced ceramics materials, processes, equipment and application solutions
The core theme of IACE CHINA is advanced ceramics as a strategic industrial material class, covering both the upstream and downstream technology stack required for repeatable manufacturing. In practical terms, this includes ceramic raw materials and powders, forming and processing technologies, sintering and thermal treatment solutions, post-processing and precision finishing, measurement and inspection, and application-driven components used in high-demand industrial sectors. The show is structured to support system-level decision-making: buyers can evaluate how materials selection interacts with process parameters, and how equipment choices affect yield, dimensional stability and lifecycle performance. This is critical for industries where ceramics are adopted for wear resistance, high-temperature performance, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance and mechanical stability. The exhibition is positioned as a platform to connect innovation with industrial adoption, enabling companies to compare technology routes, validate manufacturing readiness and reduce engineering risk before committing to scale.
