PCE Shanghai 2026 Personal Care

PCE Shanghai 2026 (Shanghai International Personal Care Expo) is scheduled for October 28–30, 2026 in Shanghai and is positioned as a trade-focused platform for sourcing and business matching across personal care, beauty care and home care categories. The official event announcement confirms the October dates and the venue as Shanghai New International Expo Center, which makes the show relevant for buyers who want to compress supplier discovery, product comparison and first negotiations into a single three-day visit. In practice, the exhibition format is useful when you need to benchmark multiple OEM/ODM and brand suppliers quickly, validate packaging and product readiness, and set up a disciplined post-show workflow (spec sheets, samples, compliance checks and commercial terms) with a shortlist of the most suitable companies.

PCE Shanghai frames its scope around the broader personal care industry chain, bringing together brands, manufacturers and supply chain companies serving personal care, beauty care and home care. This positioning matters for procurement because real purchase decisions are rarely “single-product only”: buyers typically evaluate product performance, formulation stability, packaging options, private label readiness, documentation discipline and the supplier’s ability to support repeat orders with consistent quality. The show’s theme structure supports a practical sourcing approach where visitors compare multiple suppliers within the same category, identify second-source options to reduce supply risk, and align on whether a factory is ready for OEM/ODM cooperation, export packaging requirements and stable production schedules.

The exhibitor profile is promoted as a mix of brand owners, OEM/ODM manufacturers and supply chain companies across personal care and related segments, which is a strong fit for professional buyers and importers building a reliable vendor pool. For buyers, the key value is being able to meet decision-makers from factories and trading channels, ask capability questions on-site, and immediately compare multiple production approaches for similar product groups. This format also supports cross-category sourcing in one trip, which is relevant if you are building a portfolio rather than a single SKU, or if your procurement model depends on combining finished products with packaging, contract manufacturing and supporting suppliers to achieve stable margins and continuity of supply.

The published exhibit categories in external industry listings for the same event cover a wide set of personal-care and household-related product groups, including sanitary and hygiene products, personal cleansing and care, facial and oral care, aromatherapy, household cleaning products, tools and services supply. For procurement teams, this breadth is useful because it enables structured category coverage: you can compare suppliers across adjacent segments, assess whether a manufacturer is capable of consistent batch production, and clarify private label/OEM readiness alongside packaging and compliance expectations. The show environment also helps validate “fit” beyond a brochure, because you can discuss real lead times, production constraints, export experience and quality control routines that determine whether a supplier can reliably support recurring orders.

PCE Shanghai 2026 is held at Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC). For planning a business visit, SNIEC’s scale is important operationally: it is a large multi-hall venue, so meeting productivity depends on routing by category and time buffers for registration and walking time. The venue address commonly used for logistics planning is 2345 Longyang Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China, which should be used when coordinating transfers and hotel location strategy. If your goal is sourcing rather than general browsing, it is practical to pre-book meetings with priority suppliers and keep a controlled schedule that ends with a qualified shortlist and a clear post-show action plan.

The organizer is listed in official fair directories as Shanghai Yinghe Exhibition Service Co., Ltd., with an international department contact provided for professional coordination. For exhibitors and buyers, using the organizer’s official channels is the safest way to confirm the current-year dates, registration rules, hall allocation updates and any delegation support, especially when travel approvals and business meeting schedules depend on accurate show documentation. This also reduces the risk of relying on outdated third-party listings when arranging supplier meetings and planning the visit around procurement deliverables.
