SHENZHEN, China – September 2026 — As electronics, automotive, semiconductor and new energy industries demand increasingly advanced materials for protection, insulation, bonding, thermal management and precision processing, FILM & TAPE EXPO 2026 will bring the global film, tape, adhesive and high-performance materials supply chain together in Shenzhen from October 27–29, 2026.
Held at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center, the 2026 edition will cover approximately 180,000 square meters and is expected to feature 3,600+ exhibitors and brands, attracting 170,000+ professional buyers. The exhibition will provide an international sourcing platform for manufacturers, material suppliers, equipment companies, R&D professionals, procurement teams and industry decision-makers.
Why the show?
Advanced Materials for the Next Generation of Electronics
Functional films and adhesive technologies have become essential components across increasingly sophisticated electronic products. From smartphones and displays to electric vehicles, semiconductor packages and lithium batteries, advanced films and tapes support critical functions including protection, insulation, bonding, thermal management, optical performance and precision assembly.
FILM & TAPE EXPO 2026 will showcase a broad range of functional films, adhesive tapes, adhesives, coating materials, release films, protective films, optical films, high-performance films and electronic materials, together with related processing technologies and equipment.
Key application sectors will include consumer electronics, display and touch, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, automotive electronics, new energy and lithium batteries, PCB/FPC, printing and packaging, medical applications and industrial manufacturing.
From Functional Films to Precision Processing
The exhibition will cover not only advanced materials but also the manufacturing technologies required to convert them into high-value components and finished products.
Visitors will have opportunities to explore technologies spanning coating, laminating, slitting, die-cutting, inspection and intelligent manufacturing, enabling industry professionals to evaluate solutions across the complete film and tape production and processing chain.
Precision die-cutting is particularly important for electronics and automotive applications, where increasingly compact components require high dimensional accuracy, material compatibility and production efficiency. The integration of advanced materials with intelligent processing technologies is creating new opportunities for suppliers and manufacturers throughout the value chain.
Supporting Electronics, Automotive and New Energy Innovation
The growth of electric vehicles, AI-enabled electronics and advanced semiconductor applications is creating new material requirements.
In new energy and lithium battery manufacturing, functional films and adhesive materials play important roles in insulation, protection, bonding and component assembly. In automotive electronics, advanced films and tapes are increasingly used in displays, sensors, electronic components and lightweight interior applications.
Meanwhile, the development of increasingly sophisticated consumer electronics, displays, semiconductor packages and flexible electronic devices is driving demand for thinner, lighter and higher-performance materials.
FILM & TAPE EXPO 2026 will provide a platform for industry professionals to explore these developments and identify materials and processing solutions for emerging applications.
3,000+ Business Meetings to Connect Global Buyers and Suppliers
Business networking will be a central component of the 2026 edition. Through its Targeted Attendee Program (TAP) and business matchmaking activities, the exhibition plans to facilitate 3,000+ business meetings, connecting qualified buyers with relevant suppliers based on their sourcing requirements and application needs.
The event will also feature 30+ forums and technical seminars and more than 200 new product launches, providing visitors with opportunities to understand market trends, compare technologies and engage directly with industry experts.
By bringing together materials, adhesives, processing equipment and downstream applications, FILM & TAPE EXPO 2026 aims to strengthen connections across Asia’s advanced materials and manufacturing ecosystem.
Shenzhen: A Strategic Hub for Advanced Materials and Electronics Manufacturing
Shenzhen's extensive electronics manufacturing ecosystem provides an important foundation for the development and commercialization of advanced films, tapes and materials. The close proximity of material suppliers, component manufacturers, electronics companies and downstream application industries enables faster technology exchange and supply-chain collaboration.
For international buyers seeking new suppliers, production technologies and advanced materials in Asia, FILM & TAPE EXPO 2026 offers an opportunity to connect with a broad cross-section of the industry in one location.
