As demand for high-performance materials accelerates across new energy, consumer electronics, automotive, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing, FILM & TAPE EXPO 2026 will return to Shenzhen from October 27-29, 2026, offering a comprehensive sourcing and technology platform for the global functional film, adhesive tape, coating and converting industries.
Covering 80,000 square meters, the 2026 edition is expected to bring together 1,200+ exhibitors and brands, 60,000+ professional buyers, 30+ technical forums and more than 200 new product launches. The exhibition will showcase the complete industry chain, from functional films and adhesive tapes to adhesives, chemical raw materials, high-performance materials, coating and converting equipment, testing technologies and supporting components.
One Platform, Multiple High-Growth Applications
A key feature of FILM & TAPE EXPO 2026 is its application-driven approach, connecting material technologies with real-world procurement needs across major growth sectors.
In new energy and battery applications, exhibitors will showcase battery separator films, aluminum-plastic films, tab adhesives and other materials designed for high safety and energy-density requirements.
The automotive sector will feature TPU paint protection films, window films, color-changing films and advanced battery materials supporting vehicle lightweighting, electrification and intelligent mobility.
For display and touch applications, technologies including TAC films, PMMA films, OCA optical adhesives and optical films for backlight modules will address the evolving requirements of foldable displays, automotive displays and polarization technologies.
The consumer electronics and semiconductor sectors will feature release films, protective films, PI films, thermal-management materials, electronic tapes, wafer tapes and other precision materials supporting smartphones, wearables, electronic components, advanced packaging and semiconductor manufacturing.
Additional solutions will cover PCB/FPC, die-cutting, printing and labeling, flexible packaging, medical applications and industrial materials, enabling buyers to source across multiple applications at a single event.
Complete Supply Chain, From Materials to Manufacturing
The exhibition will bring together four major technology categories: functional films, adhesive tapes, adhesives and chemical raw materials, and converting equipment and components.
Product showcases will span PET, BOPET, BOPP, TPU, optical films, protective and release films, PI films, battery and photovoltaic films, automotive films, electronic and semiconductor tapes, OCA and thermal-management adhesives, coating and laminating systems, die-cutting and slitting equipment, inspection and measurement technologies, and other advanced manufacturing solutions.
With thousands of materials, equipment and processing solutions expected on site, the event provides international buyers with an efficient environment to compare technologies, identify suppliers and explore new applications.
Procurement-Focused Business Matching
Beyond exhibition displays, FILM & TAPE EXPO 2026 will place strong emphasis on measurable business outcomes. The exhibition’s Targeted Attendee Program (TAP) will facilitate more than 3,000 one-to-one business matchmaking meetings, connecting exhibitors with qualified buyers based on specific sourcing requirements.
Professional buyers from functional film and tape manufacturing, die-cutting, consumer electronics, automotive, display and touch, lithium batteries, semiconductors, PCB/FPC, printing and packaging are expected to participate, creating direct opportunities for supplier discovery and business collaboration.
30+ Forums to Explore the Next Wave of Materials Innovation
More than 30 conferences and technical forums will bring together industry experts and senior technology executives to discuss emerging opportunities in advanced PI films, automotive films, semiconductor adhesives, thermal-management materials, battery materials, coating and die-cutting technologies, MLCC materials, robotics and new material applications.
As part of ASIA MATERIAL WEEK, FILM & TAPE EXPO 2026 will also benefit from cross-industry connections spanning high-performance materials, adhesives, chemical raw materials and CMF technologies.
By bringing materials, technologies, applications and buyers together, FILM & TAPE EXPO 2026 aims to help global industry professionals discover new suppliers, identify emerging technologies and unlock the next wave of growth across Asia’s advanced materials supply chain.
