2026 China (Wenzhou) Plastics and Rubber Industry Expo

In the context of the rapid development of the global plastics industry, China, as a leader in world manufacturing, is experiencing significant market potential in the plastics sector. In 2024, national authorities introduced a series of policies to facilitate large-scale equipment updates and the trade-in of consumer products, including "Several Measures to Increase Support for Large-scale Equipment Updates and Trade-in of Consumer Products" and "Action Plan for Large-scale Equipment Updates and Trade-in of Consumer Products." The quick rise of domestic sectors such as new energy vehicles is contributing additional momentum to the development of the plastics industry.

The Wenzhou plastics market spans multiple sub-sectors including injection molding, biodegradable plastics, and plastic shells. The injection molding industry is a critical part of Wenzhou's plastics market, with its market size continuously expanding, benefitting from the growth in demand for injection molded products in downstream industries like automotive, home appliances, and packaging. In terms of biodegradable plastics, Wenzhou is also making strides in developing these materials, particularly in the fields of packaging, textiles, and agricultural films, with significant consumption of PLA and PBS.

Moreover, Wenzhou's plastic weaving sector encompasses products such as plastic woven bags, plastic films, and synthetic leather. Plastic woven bags and films are cornerstone products within the region’s plastics industry, accounting for over 80% of the city's total plastic product output. Wenzhou has earned the title of "China's Capital of Plastic Weaving," playing a notable role in the national plastic weaving industry.

This expo will feature a variety of exhibition areas, including: Intelligent Injection Molding Zone, Blow Molding Machinery Zone, Extrusion Machinery Zone, Plastic Packaging Equipment Zone, Chemical and Raw Materials Zone, Functional Masterbatch Zone, Auxiliary Equipment Testing Zone, Film Technology Zone, Mould Applications Zone, Elastomer Zone, Composite and Specialty Materials Zone, Recycling Technology Zone, Automation Robotics Zone, Bioplastics Zone, Rubber Technology Zone, and Plastic Products Zone. The event aims to showcase the latest technologies and products in the plastics and rubber industry and foster communication and collaboration.
