Chinaplas 2027 Shenzhen: Dates, Tickets and Visitor Guide
By Ilyas Kerbal,
Chinaplas is the largest plastics and rubber trade fair in Asia and the second largest in the world after K in Düsseldorf. More than 4,000 exhibitors and close to 300,000 visitors cover injection moulding, extrusion, materials, recycling and every end-market from EVs to medical devices. If plastics processors are your customers, the Chinaplas attendee list is about as targeted as it gets.
The 2027 show is in Shenzhen. Here’s how it works and how to prepare.

What Chinaplas covers
Organised by Adsale Exhibition Services, Chinaplas spans the full polymer value chain:
- Injection moulding, extrusion and blow-moulding machinery
- Polymers, resins, compounds, additives and masterbatch
- Recycling, circular economy and bio-based plastics
- Moulds, dies and auxiliary and automation equipment
- 3D printing and smart manufacturing
Zones are organised by end-market (automotive and EV, packaging, electrical and electronics, medical, construction and the circular economy), which saves visitors a lot of walking.

Shanghai or Shenzhen? The rotation explained
Chinaplas alternates cities every year:
| Year type | City | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Even years (e.g. 2026) | Shanghai | National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC), Hongqiao |
| Odd years (e.g. 2027) | Shenzhen | Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center, Bao’an |
Chinaplas 2027 runs from 13 to 16 April 2027 in Shenzhen. The Shenzhen editions have a bonus: the Pearl River Delta manufacturing base is right there, so factory visits are easy to add. Always check the year before booking flights.
Who visits Chinaplas
| Visitor | Interest | Who should target them |
|---|---|---|
| Plastics processors and converters | Machines, moulds, materials | Machinery and resin suppliers |
| R&D and materials engineers | New compounds and additives | Chemical and masterbatch makers |
| Procurement from automotive, packaging, electronics and medical OEMs | Qualified suppliers | Processors, compounders |
| Machinery and resin distributors | New lines to represent | Manufacturers entering China and Asia |
| Recycling and sustainability managers | Recycling tech, recycled content | Recycling equipment and bio-based suppliers |

Tickets for Chinaplas 2027
| Option | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Online pre-registration (4-day pass) | RMB 50 (about US$7.5) | Deadline 8 April 2027 |
| Original price | RMB 80 | Without early registration |
It’s trade and business visitors only, and under-18s are not admitted. Entry uses real-name authentication and face recognition.
Digital tools
Chinaplas has some of the better digital tools among Chinese fairs. The iVisit app (iOS and Android) and WeChat mini program handle e-badges, exhibitor search and floor plans. MyChinaplas stores your registrations, and the CPS+ eMarketplace lists more than 24,000 solutions from over 4,000 suppliers all year.
Even so, these tools are designed for visitors finding products. A sales team that wants every processor from a given region, with job titles and LinkedIn profiles, in one CRM-ready file still has to build it. That’s where an enriched list helps.
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| The definitive plastics show in Asia | Alternating cities, so check the year |
| Cheap entry with pre-registration | Machinery halls are loud and crowded |
| Strong digital tools | Strictly trade-only, no under-18s |
| End-market zoning saves time | Price-competitive Chinese machinery dominates |
