展会简介
The Exhibition Value of the Shanghai International Senior Care Expo (AID)
China’s largest and a globally leading flagship platform for the silver economy. Established in 2000 and co-organized by the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau and the Shanghai Council for the Promotion of International Trade, it is the first senior‑care industry exhibition in China to receive certification from the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI). Over twenty-five years of development, the Shanghai Senior Care Expo has grown into the world’s second‑largest international senior‑care event, trailing only Tokyo, Japan, and is widely regarded as a key indicator of global trends in the silver economy. The expo serves not only as a platform for advancing senior‑care policies and driving technological innovation but also as a strategic gateway for companies seeking to tap into China’s trillion‑yuan silver‑economy market.
Comprehensive ecosystem spanning the entire value chain, integrating technology, products, and services. The exhibit portfolio covers six core sectors: elderly care services, assistive devices, rehabilitation and medical care, daily living support, age‑friendly housing, and health management. From basic caregiving services to age‑appropriate home furnishings, rehabilitation aids, and health‑focused food products, extending further into emerging areas such as silver‑age tourism and cultural‑social activities, the expo has established a vertically and horizontally integrated ecosystem for the silver economy, providing enterprises with a complete showcase—from technological breakthroughs to real‑world applications.
An attractive hub for cross‑industry collaboration, drawing global innovation resources. The expo’s international profile continues to strengthen, annually attracting overseas exhibitors from 16 countries and regions, including Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, and Australia. Notably, Japan and Australia have participated with their largest-ever delegation sizes. Meanwhile, tech giants and leading enterprises such as Huawei, Haier, Skyworth, Toyota, and Maxus have entered the fray, leveraging the expo as a strategic venue to showcase smart‑care solutions, fostering a healthy ecosystem where traditional eldercare players and cutting‑edge innovators compete side by side.
Dual gravitational pull of advanced technology and silver‑age consumption. The expo features cutting‑edge innovations such as autonomous wheelchairs, wearable exoskeleton robots, bio‑radar monitoring devices, and intelligent monitoring garments, with technology‑related exhibitors accounting for 25% of the total—making it a veritable “parade ground” for frontier breakthroughs in the eldercare sector. Concurrently, the “Silver Life Festival” integrates age‑friendly product trade‑in programs, creating immersive “food, housing, and travel” consumption experiences that effectively stimulate silver‑age spending; on‑site retail sales exceeded RMB 100 million, achieving dual momentum through B2B showcases and C2C conversions.
An efficient platform for innovation incubation and supply‑demand matchmaking. The expo regularly hosts creative innovation competitions and welfare‑tech contests, accelerating the commercialization of cutting‑edge eldercare technologies. Through precision‑driven business‑matching services, enterprise networking events, and long‑term display strategies that seamlessly integrate exhibitions with ongoing showcases, the expo effectively connects academia, industry, research, and end‑users, helping participating companies transition from technology demonstrations to market implementation. It has thus become the optimal entry point for businesses seeking to engage with the eldercare sector and secure a foothold in the burgeoning silver‑age market.
