As the largest and most influential annual event in the global glass industry, the 35th China International Glass Industrial Technical Exhibition (China Glass 2026) is scheduled to be held from April 7 to 10, 2026 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The exhibition will open a total of 7 exhibition halls from N1 to N5 and halls W4 and W5, with an expected exhibition scale of 90,000sqm, committed to building an authoritative platform that brings together cutting-edge technologies & products and innovative solutions in the global glass industry, and deeply empowering the collaborative innovation and high-quality development of the upstream and downstream of the glass industry chain.

The successful holding of the 34th exhibition once again confirms the absolute status of China Glass Exhibition as a "barometer" and "weather vane" in the glass industry. The exhibition attracted 910 well-known enterprises from 31 countries and regions around the world to participate in the exhibition, and received a total of 105,987 professional visitors from 136 countries and regions around the world.

Sponsored by the Chinese Ceramic Society, after more than 30 years of development, China Glass Exhibition has become an international exhibition with leading scale in the global glass industry, top specialization and full coverage of the industrial chain. It is not only the preferred platform for domestic glass companies to showcase their innovative achievements and expand domestic and foreign markets, but also an important window for international glass giants to seek cooperation opportunities and deepen their cultivation of the Chinese market. The exhibition deeply links the upstream and downstream resources of the global glass industry chain, and is the core exhibition platform that drives technological innovation, deepens trade cooperation, and leads the development of the industry.

At present, the exhibition recruitment work has been fully launched, and the official website of the exhibition has begun to accept booth reservations(www.chinaglass-expo.com). As of press time, more than 500 leading companies in the glass industry have confirmed their participation, including international companies and national pavilions, including: Glaston, LiSEC, Bottero, Fenzi, SEFPRO, Grenzebach, Benteler, Honeywell, SilverLake Laser, Plansee, Carl Zeiss, Vesuvius, Kuraray, Buhler Leybold, Koemmerling, Quanex, Von Ardenne, Air Products, SORG, HORN, Heye, ISRA, RHI, Zippe, Bando, Dong Yang, Bernard Bonnefond, as well as the Italian pavilion organized by the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) and the German Pavilion.

In 2025, China's glass industry moves forward steadily in the face of challenges, showing strong resilience and vitality, accelerating structural transformation of the industry, and opening up new incremental markets along three major directions: First, the in-depth development of application scenarios, the extension of the construction field from the engineering market to the home decoration retail end, the upgrade of energy-saving standards drive the increase in the penetration rate of high-performance products such as Low-E and vacuum glass, and the transformation of green buildings release incremental space. Second, the integration of cross-field technologies has accelerated, the production capacity of photovoltaic glass has been upgraded to the direction of BIPV integration, and the breakthrough of special-shaped power generation curtain wall technology has broadened the application scenarios; Automotive glass has become the core growth pole, and innovative products such as coating dimming and super tempering are adapted to the needs of new energy vehicles; Special glass extends to high value-added fields such as electronic display and pharmaceutical packaging. Third, Green and Smart Manufacturing is the core of cost reduction and efficiency increase, and enterprises actively invest in energy conservation and emission reduction technologies such as flue gas treatment, waste heat utilization, and energy substitution. Looking forward to 2026, the industry will continue to evolve in the direction of "high-end, intelligent and green", and green & low-carbon transformation, deep integration of intelligent manufacturing, and high value-added glass products will become a new track of competition. The 35th China Glass Exhibition will be a core platform for insight into trends and future opportunities.

To improve the exhibition service and visiting experience, the 35th China Glass Exhibition will carry out several service upgrades, optimize the official website and WeChat public account services, and provide more convenience for participating in the exhibition and visiting. We strengthen media publicity and audience invitation services, select authoritative media magazines and websites at home and abroad to place advertisements, and organize more high-quality overseas purchasing groups and visiting groups. At the same time, a number of high-standard professional and technical lectures and industry forums will be held, focusing on hot topics such as AI empowerment, intelligent manufacturing, and green and low-carbon.

We sincerely invite colleagues from the global glass industry to gather in Shanghai to explore the infinite possibilities of glass technology, grasp the pulse of the market, expand cooperation opportunities, and work together to promote the global glass industry towards a greener, smarter, and more sustainable future.
