From May 13 to 15,2026, the 94th China International Pharmaceutical Raw Materials, Intermediates, Packaging and Equipment Fair (API China) was successfully held at the Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center. As a highly influential industry event in China's pharmaceutical raw materials sector, this exhibition focused on active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), pharmaceutical intermediates, and core upstream raw materials, comprehensively showcasing the latest technological advancements and product innovations in the industry.
Focusing on the live exhibition scene, pharmaceutical raw material enterprises from across the country showcased their specialized active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), generic APIs, high-end intermediates, and green synthesis products. The offerings ranged from conventional drug raw materials for anti-infective, cardiovascular, and antiviral applications to innovative intermediate compounds and high-purity fine chemical precursors, covering the entire value chain from drug R&D to pilot-scale and large-scale production. Many companies introduced advanced processes and technologies that enhanced product purity and stability while emphasizing sustainable manufacturing practices and energy efficiency, aligning with the current demands for high-quality development in the pharmaceutical industry. Professional visitors flocked to the event, fostering a vibrant atmosphere of exchange and collaboration. Research institutions, manufacturers, and traders gathered to engage in in-depth discussions on raw material supply, technical partnerships, quality control, and cost optimization, with numerous supply-demand parties reaching preliminary cooperation agreements.
This year's API China established an efficient matchmaking platform for the upstream and downstream sectors of pharmaceutical raw materials, effectively facilitating technical exchanges and resource integration, thereby further advancing the steady development of China's pharmaceutical raw material industry toward higher-end, greener, and more international standards.
