Exhibition Introduction
The Exhibition Value of the China Advanced Materials Industry Expo (AM EXPO)
- An Influential Annual Event for the Advanced Materials Sector in China’s High-End Equipment Manufacturing Industry: Since its inception in 2016, the China Advanced Materials Industry Expo (AM EXPO), together with the Dual‑Use New Materials Conference, has been successfully held for ten consecutive editions. Guided by the National Expert Advisory Committee on New Materials Industry Development and co‑organized by authoritative institutions including the China Peaceful Utilization of Military Technology Association, the All‑China Federation of Industry and Commerce Science & Technology Equipment Chamber of Commerce, and Wuhan University of Technology, the expo is themed “Advanced Materials Driving the Development of High-End Equipment.” It serves as a premier platform for material and product matchmaking and exchange within China’s high-end equipment manufacturing sector and is widely recognized in the industry as the domestic exhibition with the deepest participation from military‑industrial entities in the new materials field.
- A One‑Stop Showcase Covering the Entire Industrial Chain: The expo encompasses the full spectrum of advanced materials, including metallic materials—such as cutting-edge steel alloys, titanium‑aluminum‑magnesium‑copper alloys, and high‑temperature alloys—advanced polymer materials—like specialty rubbers, engineering plastics, and stealth‑absorbing coatings—non‑metallic inorganic materials—such as carbon fiber, aramid fibers, and ceramic matrix composites—advanced electronic materials, critical nuclear‑power materials, graphene, and nanomaterials. From high‑temperature alloys for aerospace applications to corrosion‑resistant steels for deep‑sea equipment, and from military protective materials to civilian eco‑friendly new materials, exhibitors can engage in comprehensive connections—from technology demonstrations and brand exposure to commercial negotiations—within this single venue.
- Precise Matchmaking with Core Buyers and Industry Chain Resources in the Military‑Industrial and High‑End Equipment Sectors: The 2025 edition will bring together nearly 300 exhibitors and attract close to 12,000 professional visitors. Among them, 38.7% are R&D or technical support personnel, 27.2% are mid‑to‑senior management or decision‑makers, and 21.7% are procurement professionals. Ten major military‑industrial groups—including China National Nuclear Corporation, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, Aviation Industry Corporation of China, China State Shipbuilding Corporation, China North Industries Group Corporation, China South Industries Group Corporation, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, China Electronics Information Industry Group Corporation, and Aeroengine Corporation of China—participate deeply as co‑organizers. On-site signing ceremonies for key projects are scheduled, with intended investment exceeding RMB 2 billion.
- Unique Value for Chinese Enterprises: A Strategic Engine for Connecting with Military‑Industrial and High‑End Equipment Needs: AM EXPO is the only domestic materials‑focused expo co‑organized by all ten major military‑industrial groups, providing an irreplaceable gateway for private enterprises seeking entry into the military‑industrial supply chain. Concurrently, the Dual‑Use New Materials Conference ranks among the highest‑profile military‑related conferences in China, featuring numerous academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering who deliver specialized presentations. The expo also features distinctive zones such as the Low‑Altitude Economy Pavilion and the University Research Achievements Zone, fostering precise matchmaking and collaborative innovation across upstream and downstream segments of the industrial chain.
- A Vanguard for Technological Innovation and Industry Trends: At the expo, high‑performance specialty alloys, carbon‑fiber composites, nanomaterials, graphene, 3D‑printing materials, and smart materials have emerged as hot topics. The Sunan Special Steel Materials Cluster, the nation’s sole national advanced manufacturing cluster in the steel industry, showcased at the event key materials for “national strategic assets,” including 9% nickel steel—with exceptional strength and toughness even at −196°C—and ultra‑high‑strength, wear‑resistant steels. The Nanjing Glass Fiber Research and Design Institute presented fine‑weave puncture‑resistant fabrics for aerospace applications, while Yuheng Technology unveiled biodegradable composite materials made from bamboo, offering diversified alternatives to conventional plastics.
- In‑Depth Linkages Between High‑Profile Forums and Industry Resources: Concurrent with the expo, the Dual‑Use New Materials Conference and more than ten high‑level sub‑forums are held, covering areas such as aerospace materials, advanced metallic materials, polymers and composites, as well as critical strategic and frontier materials. Over 1,200 delegates attend, including academicians, industry experts, and corporate executives, who engage in in‑depth discussions on technological R&D, industrial application, market trends, and related issues. Additionally, a dedicated zone showcasing university research achievements in new materials is set up, building bridges between academic breakthroughs and enterprise technology needs.
- Nanjing’s Geographical Location and Industrial Advantages: Held at the Nanjing International Exhibition Center, Nanjing serves as the leading city of the Sunan Special Steel Materials Cluster, strategically positioned to drive the development of a high‑performance special steel plate industrial chain. Nanjing’s new materials industry has established a development pattern characterized by “new,” “special,” and “strong,” boasting industry leaders such as Nangang Steel and the Nanjing Glass Fiber Research Institute. Leveraging Nanjing’s locational advantages and robust industrial foundation as a core city of the Yangtze River Delta, AM EXPO provides exhibitors with a strategic platform for connecting to the nationwide high‑end equipment manufacturing market.
