The FILM & TAPE EXPO 2023 will be held from October 11^th to 13^th at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center, highlighting the industry’s technological innovations and their applications. The expo, spearheading the upgrade of advanced manufacturing technology for high quality functional films and tapes, will showcase adhesive tape, new energy material manufacturing equipment and techniques, highly functional film, and other downstream application sectors. The show aims to encourage engagement, technological innovation and business co-operation between upstream and downstream enterprises. The show will foster new business expansion and advance sustainable development within the global functional film and adhesive tape industry. Let’s look at the benefits the show will offer!

The show will cover 160,000 square meters, hosting more than 3,000 brands. An estimated 120,000 industry professionals and 4,500 overseas visitors are expected to attend. Additionally, over 50 thematic summit forums and workshops will focus on topics such as films and tapes, new energy materials, consumer electronic adhesives, die-cutting and coating, new energy applications, and film packaging. With its unique TAP invited buyer program and novel activities, the show encompasses the latest developments in the industry, offers insight into market development trends, and facilitates business negotiations between upstream and downstream players. This year's event will introduce new show areas, including the Functional Film Innovation Exhibition Zone, the Die-cutting Technology Communication Exhibition Zone, the Chemical Raw Materials Exhibition Zone, the Foam Material Innovation Exhibition Zone, the New Energy Photovoltaic Film Exhibition Zone, and the New Energy Lithium Film Exhibition Zone.

The Shenzhen International Film and Tape Technology Innovative Development Forum 2023, as the Expo’s main forum, will analyze both the current state and future development of the high-functional film industry. It will also provide a global market overview of the key film materials in photoelectric industry, explore tape application in the electronics industry, present on innovations in foam materials, and discuss various types of adhesive additives, in consideration of their market development and application. With more than 20 trending topics, this year's Expo aims to address both the current industry’s advancements and outline future frontiers. Taking various perspectives into consideration, such as the commercialization of the application market, core technologies and industries, and keeping up with industry and market trends, the Expo will provide a global, future-focused perspective.

Concurrently, the Coating Industry Standardization and High-Quality Development Forum 2023 will provide a platform for the promotion, training, and implementation of coating industry standards. The forum will bring together technical experts from research institutes, colleges and enterprises to promote the development of national coating science careers and industrial technologies.

Moreover, statistics show the number of new energy vehicles in China in the first half of 2023 has reached 16.2 million, accounting for 4.9% of all vehicles. Among them, pure electric vehicles account for 77.8% of the whole, totaling 12.594 million. During this period, 3.128 million energy vehicles were newly registered, representing a record-setting year-over-year increase of 41.6%. The 2023 Eighth Die-cutting/Coating Process Seminar, held concurrently during the FILM & TAPE EXPO, will address solutions for new energy battery pole piece die-cutting, RFID electronic label die-cutting, FPC die-cutting, die-cutting of electromagnetic shielding materials and devices, die-cutting of thermally conductive materials and devices, adhesive materials in new energy, as well as adhesive/film material detection.

The FILM & TAPE EXPO 2023 also embraces current market trends, looking to new energy batteries, automobiles, labels, packaging, and other popular application scenarios to both explore the innovative uses of adhesive film and tape as well as analyze the development trends of functional film materials. Ultimately, with special zones and forums included, the show’s comprehensive perspective offers a panoramic view of the future of functional film tape.
