SHANGHAI, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 26th China International Industry Fair(
CIIF) New Material Industry Show (NMIS) will take place from October 12 to 16, 2026,
at Hall 7.2 of the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). Under the
theme "Let Materials Be Seen, Let the Future Be Touched," the event will host over
300 global exhibitors across an expanded exhibition space.

In a major departure from traditional material exhibition formats, NMIS 2026 introduces
a scenario-driven floor layout organized into six specialized "Material Islands."
Designed to streamline cross-sector procurement, this model allows international
trade buyers to source complete end-to-end solutions—from foundational alloys and
functional composites to processing equipment—tailored directly to their downstream
product requirements.

**Six Application-Driven "Material Islands"**

**1. Low-Altitude Economy & Commercial Aerospace** — As the largest island of the
show, this cluster highlights aerospace superalloys, titanium alloys, lightweight
Al-Mg alloys, carbon fiber and aramid composites, eVTOL structures, rocket insulation,
and ceramic-matrix composites. To bridge downstream applications directly with upstream
sourcing, eVTOL manufacturer AutoFlight will display its complete aircraft alongside
upstream raw material innovators, including Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical, Guangxi
Nanning Aluminium, and Dongfang Tantalum.

**2. New Energy**: Dedicated to critical materials driving global carbon neutrality,
this section highlights battery anodes/cathodes, solid-state battery materials, 
PV encapsulation films, hydrogen PEM, and phase-change storage. Key showcases include
Xiangfenghua’s silicon-carbon anodes, Shanghai Emperor of Cleaning Hi-tech’s solid-
state materials, Baowu’s carbon and magnesium units, Yili’s sulfide all-solid-state
batteries, Juhé’s PV silver paste, and Swancor’s recyclable resins.

**3. AI & Humanoid Robots**: Highlighting flexible tactile materials, bionic skin,
wear-resistant alloys for precision gears, and sensor packaging. Key showcases include
smart fibers from Donghua University and Yigong Precision’s RV reducers for emotion-
intelligent and underwater robots.

**4. Intelligent Equipment & Automotive**: Showcasing lightweight aluminum/plastic/
composites, modified plastics, and rail-transit damping materials, presented by 
leaders such as Huayi Group, CRRC, Kingfa, etc.

**5. Biomanufacturing & Life & Health**: Featuring biodegradable medical materials,
implantable bionics, synthetic-biology feedstocks, medical dressings, and pharmaceutical
packaging.

**6. AI-Empowered Materials & Materials Equipment**: Focused on frontier materials
including nanomaterials, superconductors, quantum dots, 3D-printing materials, and
digital simulation software.

**Debut Zones and Industrial Ecosystem Synergy**

NMIS 2026 brings together front-end technology and regional industrial strength 
through two premier debuts—an AI Materials Zone and a Pilot Base Zone bringing together
nearly 40 Shanghai materials pilot-scale builders.

Fostering a "one zone, one specialty" synergy, regional pavilions will present targeted
industrial capabilities: G60 (Songjiang) on advanced fibers and humanoid-robot materials,
Jinshan on green chemicals and carbon fiber, Baoshan on advanced metals, Qingpu 
on smart equipment and automotive, Fengxian Hangzhou Bay, alongside featured delegations
from Liaoning and Chengdu.

Concurrently, the event will host over 10 high-level forums, headlined by the 10th
Shanghai New Materials Industry Development Conference, which will release strategic
insights aligned with China’s "15th Five-Year" advanced materials roadmap. Special
technical sessions will focus on solid-state batteries, perovskites, low-altitude
materials, and product launches, plus international academia and business matchmaking
sessions.
