Shanghai International Industrial Materials Exhibition – Copper

The Shanghai International Industrial Materials Exhibition (COPPER CHINA) will focus on showcasing new copper-based materials and copper-processing products, along with related machinery, auxiliary materials, and consumables, highlighting the latest products, technologies, processes, and applications across the entire copper industry value chain.

Through a series of activities—including product demonstrations, conferences, and new-product launches—the Shanghai International Industrial Materials Exhibition (COPPER CHINA) is committed to fostering resource integration and collaborative development among upstream, midstream, and downstream segments of the industry. It aims to facilitate connections between the copper sector and key end markets such as wire and cable, energy storage and power batteries, new-energy vehicles, air-conditioning and refrigeration, construction and transportation, and electronics and electrical equipment, while jointly exploring the challenges and opportunities shaping industry growth.

Against the backdrop of high-quality “dual circulation” development—particularly driven by emerging sectors like electric passenger vehicles, lithium batteries, photovoltaics, wind power, and robotics—production technologies for copper-based new materials continue to advance, industrial-chain optimization and integration are accelerating, downstream application areas are expanding, and demand remains on the rise.

The Shanghai International Industrial Materials Exhibition (COPPER CHINA) seeks to achieve higher performance, enhanced functionality, and greater diversity in copper-based new materials; to elevate application domains toward premium, global, and diversified markets; and to promote intelligent, green production technologies. In doing so, it aims to propel the industry’s high-quality development and deepen its international integration.

Reasons to Exhibit at the Shanghai Copper Industry Exhibition

• A Professional Platform Co‑Organized by National-Level Industry Associations: Co‑hosted by the China Nonferrous Metals Processing Industry Association and Reed Exhibitions, with guidance from the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, this exhibition serves as an international, specialized platform for trade and business exchange within the copper processing sector. Focusing on copper‑based new materials, copper‑processed products, related machinery, and auxiliary materials, it comprehensively showcases innovative technologies, advanced manufacturing processes, and diverse applications across the entire copper industry value chain, supporting the sector’s commitment to high‑quality development.
• Five Concurrent Exhibitions Building a Comprehensive Industrial Ecosystem: Held concurrently and at the same venue as the China International Aluminum Industry Exhibition, the Shanghai International Magnesium Industry Exhibition, the Asia Automotive Lightweighting Exhibition, and the Shanghai International Recycling Metals Exhibition, this event forms a comprehensive gathering that spans the entire nonferrous metals value chain. With unprecedented scale, the five exhibitions are expected to bring together over 650 reputable exhibitors across a total exhibition space of 60,000 square meters, offering participating companies opportunities for in‑depth resource sharing and collaborative innovation across multiple material sectors.
• Targeting High‑Growth Emerging Markets: While providing full coverage of established application areas such as new‑energy vehicles, power electronics, telecommunications, and energy storage, the exhibition places particular emphasis on emerging growth drivers like the low‑altitude economy and humanoid robotics. It systematically highlights the critical technological roles of copper materials in cutting‑edge applications—including electric aircraft motors, high‑voltage electrical systems, joint actuators for humanoid robots, and precision thermal management systems—providing enterprises with strategic opportunities to seize early market positions in these burgeoning fields.
• Global Buyer Networks and Precision Business Matching: Leveraging Reed Exhibitions’ global network, the event is expected to connect more than 4,000 overseas professional visitors from over 100 countries and regions. Targeted outreach and resource integration will be conducted in key emerging markets—including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia—as well as in priority application domains. The exhibition has launched a systematic “Pre‑Exhibition–During–Year‑Round” precision matchmaking service, utilizing the TAP Invited Buyer Program to invite VIP decision‑makers with clearly defined procurement plans, aiming to facilitate over 1,100 one‑on‑one, highly targeted business meetings throughout the year.
• High‑Level Forums and Showcase of Innovative Achievements: Concurrently held is the “Copper‑Based New Materials High‑End Applications Forum,” which focuses on material processing technologies, pathways toward industrialization, and analyses of applicability in emerging fields, systematically reviewing the latest advances in process innovation, product development, and performance enhancement for copper materials. Additionally, the “Lightweight Materials Applications and Industry‑University‑Research Innovation Showcase Zone” brings together exemplary use cases of lightweight copper materials in new‑energy vehicles, low‑altitude economic equipment, and other sectors, aggregating foundational research findings and industrial collaboration projects from domestic and international universities and research institutions to foster pragmatic industry‑university‑research cooperation.
