PCHi 2026

PCHi 2026 will take place from March 18 to 20, 2026 at the Hangzhou Grand Convention and Exhibition Center. The exhibition is positioned as a trade-only professional event, focused on ingredient sourcing, technical exchange, and regulatory insight rather than consumer marketing. Its annual rotation between the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta reflects the concentration of China’s personal care manufacturing hubs and helps maintain strong regional participation. For buyers, this format provides direct access to ingredient manufacturers and solution providers; for exhibitors, it ensures a highly targeted audience of decision-makers who are actively involved in formulation, compliance, and procurement planning.

The thematic scope of PCHi is centered on personal care and homecare ingredients, covering emerging market trends, technological innovation, and scientific developments relevant to formulation and industrial application. A key differentiator of the exhibition is its strong emphasis on regulatory updates and compliance, including international and Chinese standards that directly affect ingredient selection and product launch timelines. This makes PCHi particularly relevant for companies operating across borders, where understanding regulatory convergence and divergence is critical to reducing time-to-market and compliance risk.

PCHi attracts a professional audience that includes formulators, contract manufacturers, brand owners, R&D technologists, regulatory affairs specialists, and senior executives from across the global personal care and homecare value chain. For exhibitors, this audience profile supports high-quality technical and commercial discussions rather than general brand exposure. For visitors, the benefit lies in peer-to-peer exchange: discussions around performance claims, ingredient functionality, sourcing stability, and regulatory feasibility often move quickly from theoretical to application-specific, enabling faster internal decision-making after the show.

The exhibition showcases a wide range of ingredients and raw materials used in cosmetics, personal care and homecare products, including functional actives, formulation aids, specialty chemicals, and emerging ingredient technologies. Exhibitors typically present not only product portfolios but also application data, formulation guidance, and regulatory documentation. For procurement and R&D teams, this allows simultaneous evaluation of performance, compliance readiness, and supplier capability, which is essential when selecting ingredients that must meet both functional targets and strict regulatory requirements.

PCHi 2026 will be hosted at the Hangzhou Grand Convention and Exhibition Center, a modern venue capable of supporting large-scale international exhibitions and conference programs. The venue supports parallel conference tracks, technical seminars, and exhibition halls, allowing visitors to combine supplier meetings with participation in the PCHi Annual Industry Conference and New Technology Sessions. For professional visitors, this integrated format maximizes the return on time spent onsite, enabling sourcing, learning, and networking within a single, structured agenda.

PCHi is organised by Reed Sinopharm Exhibitions Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Sinopharm Group and Reed Exhibitions. As a leading professional exhibition organiser in China’s medical, pharmaceutical, healthcare and specialty chemical sectors, Reed Sinopharm brings strong industry credibility, international reach, and structured event management. For exhibitors and visitors alike, organiser reputation is a practical indicator of show quality: it influences exhibitor discipline, conference content depth, and the overall effectiveness of the event as a platform for business development and long-term collaboration.
