2026 China (Zibo) International Advanced Ceramics Industry Exhibition

The "ACIE 2026 China (Zibo) International Advanced Ceramics Industry Exhibition" will be held from May 27 to 29, 2026, at the Zibo International Exhibition Center in Shandong. The theme of the event is "Ceramics Illuminate the Future, Material Gather Zibo", which aims to enhance the full-chain collaboration in the advanced ceramics and powder processing industries to improve companies' competitiveness, integrate high-quality industry resources, and provide a deep insight into the current state of industry development.

The exhibition is expected to cover an area of 20,000 square meters and will focus on inviting nearly 300 brands from upstream and downstream enterprises in the advanced ceramics sector to participate. Concurrently, the exhibition will also feature the Advanced Powder Processing Exhibition and the Powder Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing Industry Exhibition.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan, China continues to promote the advancement of industries such as advanced ceramics to international leading levels. With the rapid development of high-tech industries such as consumer electronics, semiconductors, new energy, 5G communications, aerospace, and integrated circuits, the demand for advanced ceramic materials has been continuously increasing. It is expected that in the coming years, segments like high-end ceramic powders, electronic ceramics, bio-ceramics, and energy-efficient environmental ceramics will maintain rapid growth, with the market size exceeding one trillion, thus becoming one of the crucial functional materials driving China's technological development and providing vast market space for the advanced ceramics industry.

In March 2025, the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology and 14 other departments jointly issued the "Shandong Province Ceramic and Glass Industry Inheritance and Innovative High-Quality Development Action Plan", which emphasizes advanced ceramics as a focal point for industry development. Zibo, known as the "Northern Porcelain Capital", possesses a rich history in ceramics, with a well-established new functional ceramic materials industry and a complete range of advanced ceramics, forming an industrial structure led by major enterprises.

Shandong has formed a complete supporting industrial chain for ceramics, boasting a massive industrial foundation and market space, with advantages in both scale and hierarchy compared to other cities within and outside the province.

Exhibits will include aluminum oxide ceramics, zirconium oxide ceramics, silicon carbide ceramics, and a variety of ceramic products, along with associated powders and raw materials such as aluminum oxide powder and silicon carbide powder. The exhibition will also showcase various processing equipment and testing instruments covering all processing aspects of powders and their physical and chemical properties, helping companies enhance their technical levels and market competitiveness.
