Bozhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Expo – Bozhou Herbal Medicine Exhibition

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 “the World Capital of TCM” and establishing a strategic gateway for TCM to enter the international market.

The Bozhou TCM Expo—Bozhou Herbal Medicine Exhibition (Bozhou TCM Expo) will focus on matching supply with demand to facilitate business transactions, providing a one‑stop platform for stakeholders in the region to evaluate suppliers, procure equipment, and explore comprehensive solutions. This effort will actively drive 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 advancing the revitalization and growth of TCM.” The Anhui Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government have likewise prioritized the development of the TCM industry. Drawing on Bozhou’s rich history, cultural heritage, and industrial foundation, they have set the ambitious goal of building “the World Capital of TCM.” To earnestly implement the “Policy on Supporting Fresh‑Cut Processing and Business Operations of Chinese Medicinal Materials in Bozhou,” and to vigorously carry out the “14th Five‑Year Plan for TCM Development” issued by the General Office of the State Council—aimed at steering China’s pharmaceutical industry toward innovation‑driven transformation and accelerating high‑quality growth—the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with eight other departments, has jointly promulgated the “14th Five‑Year Plan for Pharmaceutical Industry Development,” ensuring its effective implementation. These measures seek to inherit and promote traditional TCM culture, further strengthen cultural exchanges under new circumstances, and enhance TCM services for public health.

Bozhou has consistently adhered to the principle of “building the city through medicine and strengthening it with medicine.” The city maintains a stable planting area of over 1.2 million mu for Chinese medicinal materials, covering more than 2,800 varieties. In 2024, the scale of Bozhou’s modern TCM industry reached RMB 210.26 billion, with 217 large‑scale pharmaceutical enterprises. A complete industrial chain encompassing cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution has taken shape, creating an ecosystem characterized by “thousands of pharmaceutical companies, tens of thousands of traders, millions of farmers, and a market worth hundreds of billions.” As a result, Bozhou has become the world’s largest hub for the aggregation and trading of Chinese medicinal materials, as well as a leading center for publishing price indices, and the nation’s foremost production base for processed herbal slices, herbal extracts, and health‑promoting TCM beverages.

With the theme “Building the World Capital of TCM, 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, prominent entrepreneurs, distinguished hospital directors, and representatives from all sectors of society. Historic opportunities are propelling us forward, and this ancient “Medicine Capital” eagerly awaits your participation. Let us meet in Bozhou and jointly write a bright chapter in the ongoing development of TCM!
