Bozhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Expo – Bozhou Herbal Medicine ExhibitionBozhou Pharmaceutical Expo

The Bozhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Expo—Bozhou Herbal Medicine Exhibition (Bozhou TCM Expo) has grown into the nation’s most influential gold‑level trade show in the TCM sector. It serves as a vital platform for preserving and promoting TCM culture, attracting investment, and recruiting talent and expertise. Moreover, it represents a key initiative in building Bozhou into the “World Capital of Traditional Chinese Medicine” and establishing it as a strategic gateway for TCM to enter the international market.

Centered on matching supply with demand to drive business transactions, the Bozhou TCM Expo provides a one‑stop platform for stakeholders in the region to evaluate suppliers, procure equipment, and explore comprehensive solutions, thereby actively advancing the high‑quality development of Bozhou’s medicinal herb industry.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has attached great importance to the inheritance and development of TCM culture, explicitly calling for “energetically revitalizing and developing TCM.” The Anhui Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government have likewise prioritized the growth of the TCM industry. Drawing on Bozhou’s rich history, cultural heritage, and robust industrial foundation, they have set the ambitious goal of transforming Bozhou into the “World Capital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.” To earnestly implement the “Bozhou Municipal Policy on Fresh‑Cut Processing and Business Support for Medicinal Herbs,” and to vigorously carry out the State Council General Office’s “14th Five‑Year Plan for TCM Development,” the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and eight other departments jointly issued the “14th Five‑Year Plan for the Pharmaceutical Industry,” ensuring effective implementation. These measures aim to inherit and promote the traditional culture of TCM, further strengthen cultural exchanges under new circumstances, and enhance TCM services that safeguard public health.

Bozhou has consistently pursued a development strategy centered on medicine—building and strengthening the city through its medicinal resources. The city maintains a stable planting area of over 1.2 million mu, cultivating more than 2,800 varieties of medicinal herbs. In 2024, the scale of Bozhou’s modern TCM industry reached RMB 210.26 billion, supported by 217 large‑scale pharmaceutical enterprises. With a fully integrated industrial chain spanning cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution, Bozhou has established an ecosystem characterized by “thousands of pharmaceutical companies, tens of thousands of traders, millions of farmers, and a market worth hundreds of billions,” becoming the world’s largest hub for the aggregation and pricing of medicinal herbs, as well as the nation’s leading production base for processed herbal slices, herbal extracts, and health‑promoting herbal beverages.

Under the theme “Building the World Capital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for a Healthier Humanity,” the event will feature three major programmatic pillars: economic and trade activities, academic forums, and cultural events. The Bozhou TCM Expo—Bozhou Herbal Medicine Exhibition (Bozhou TCM Expo) will bring together experts and scholars from home and abroad, renowned masters of traditional Chinese medicine, distinguished entrepreneurs, prominent hospital directors, and representatives from all sectors of society. Historic opportunities are propelling forward momentum, and this ancient “Medicinal Capital” eagerly awaits your participation. Let us gather in Bozhou and together write a bright chapter in the ongoing development of TCM!
