The SAMPE China Annual Conference (Beijing Advanced Composite Materials Exhibition) is a comprehensive, industry‑wide event that integrates a specialized exhibition, an international academic conference, supply‑demand matchmaking, technical training, and new‑product launches. Spanning nearly 30,000 square meters, the show brings together over 320 exhibitors and more than 10,000 professional buyers, covering the entire engineering‑application value chain—from design and simulation, through raw ma
The Exhibition Value of the Beijing Advanced Composite Materials Show
- Asia’s Largest and World-Leading Specialized Event for Advanced Composite Materials: Co-hosted by authoritative organizations including the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, AVIC Composites Co., Ltd., and SAMPE China Mainland, this event is Asia’s largest and a globally leading exhibition dedicated to advanced composite materials and their engineering applications. SAMPE (Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering) is the most influential academic organization in the global composites industry. Since its inception, the SAMPE China Annual Conference has been successfully held for numerous editions and is widely recognized within the industry as a benchmark for China’s composites development and a core platform for technological innovation.
- A One-Stop Showcase Covering the Entire Industry Chain: The exhibition encompasses high-performance reinforcing materials (such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, aramid fiber, basalt fiber, PBO fiber, etc.), matrix materials (including epoxy resins, bismaleimide resins, polyimides, thermoplastic resins, ceramic matrices, etc.), core materials (honeycomb, foam, balsa wood, etc.), composite products (for aerospace, rail transit, automotive, wind energy, sporting goods, etc.), manufacturing equipment (prepreg systems, tape‑laying and filament‑winding machines, autoclaves, curing ovens, RTM equipment, winding machines, etc.), testing instruments, tooling and molds, design software, simulation tools, repair technologies, and other links across the entire value chain. From raw materials to finished products, from design to inspection, and from single-piece fabrication to mass production, exhibitors can achieve comprehensive alignment—spanning technology demonstrations, brand exposure, and business negotiations—all under one roof.
- Precise Connections with High-End Application Sectors such as Aerospace and Defense: The event attracts professional visitors from sectors including aerospace, defense, wind turbine blades, rail transit, automotive lightweighting, marine and offshore engineering, sporting goods, pressure vessels, and structural reinforcement—comprising purchasing decision-makers, technical leaders, R&D engineers, and university researchers. Exhibitors can directly engage with key end-users such as COMAC, AVIC, CNSA, AECC, CRRC, Goldwind, and others, facilitating efficient order conversion and market expansion.
- Unique Value for Chinese Enterprises: A Strategic Engine for Domestic Substitution and Independent Innovation: As one of the world’s largest markets for composite materials, China still relies partially on imports for high-end raw materials and critical equipment. The SAMPE China Annual Conference serves as a central platform for domestic companies to showcase their proprietary technologies, align with localization needs, and substitute imported materials. Concurrently, the “Domestic Localization Matchmaking Session” offers enterprises invaluable opportunities to engage face-to-face with high-end users in aerospace, defense, and related fields. Additionally, the exhibition draws overseas exhibitors and buyers from the United States, Germany, Japan, France, Italy, and other countries, providing Chinese enterprises with an international gateway to expand globally.
- An Industry Hub Where Global Giants and Indigenous Brands Compete Side by Side: The event brings together world-leading brands such as Hexcel, Toray, Mitsubishi, Teijin, Solvay, SGL, Owens Corning, alongside domestic industry leaders including Guangwei Composite, Zhongfu Shenying, Hengshen Shares, Jilin Chemical Fiber, AVIC Composites, and the North Research Center of COMAC. With international and domestic brands competing on the same stage, the exhibition vividly highlights both the cutting-edge technological capabilities and the competitive landscape of the advanced composites sector.
- A Vanguard for Technical Forums and Academic Exchanges: Alongside the exhibition, SAMPE hosts high-profile events such as the SAMPE China International Academic Conference, the Advanced Composite Materials Innovation Forum, the Aerospace Composite Applications Symposium, and the Carbon Fiber and Composite Materials Technology Development Forum. Renowned academicians, internationally acclaimed composite material scholars, industry experts, and chief technical officers are invited to deliver keynote speeches. Participating companies gain timely access to critical insights on technological trends, process innovations, and standard updates in the composites field, enabling them to deeply integrate into the global composites ecosystem of research, industry, academia, and application.
- Beijing’s Geographical and Policy Advantages: As China’s political, technological innovation, and aerospace decision-making hub, Beijing is home to the headquarters and R&D facilities of key players such as AVIC, CNSA, COMAC, and AECC. Leveraging Beijing’s policy advantages, research resources, and industrial decision-making strengths, the SAMPE China Annual Conference provides exhibitors with strategic pathways to connect with national-level projects, obtain policy briefings, and participate in the formulation of industry standards.
