The global electronics manufacturing industry is once again turning its attention to Shanghai, as productronica China 2026 is set to take place at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (Halls E1-E5, W1-W3) from March 25 to 27, 2026. This exhibition is expected to span nearly 100,000 square meters and will bring together over 1,000 high-quality companies in the electronics manufacturing industry. The exhibition is dedicated to presenting an event that integrates innovative technology, cutting-edge products, and efficient business exchanges in the Asian electronics manufacturing industry.

The 2026 booth layout has been released to accurately align with business opportunities

The exhibition will continue to take place in Halls E1-E5 and W1-W3. Each exhibition hall is arranged based on categories of exhibits and application areas, featuring a well-structured and strategic layout. This design allows exhibitors to effectively showcase their core strengths while enabling visitors to efficiently identify and focus on their target products. The exhibits cover the entire electronics manufacturing industry chain, including electronic chemical materials, dispensing and bonding technology, automated electronic assembly, test measurement and quality assurance, electronics manufacturing services (EMS), surface mount technology (SMT), cable processing, component manufacturing, motion control and drive technology, sensors technology, as well as robotics&AGV and intelligent warehousing. This one-stop showcase highlights the world's most advanced technologies and products within the intelligent manufacturing and electronic innovation industry chain.

Focus on leading industry trends to showcase rich, diverse exhibits

SMT technology continues to evolve, empowering cutting-edge applications
According to the latest report from QYResearch, the global SMT equipment market size is projected to grow from approximately USD 4.2 billion in 2024 to USD 9.33 billion by 2030, achieving a compound annual growth rate of 4.6%. This growth is not only driven by the consumer electronics industry's persistent pursuit of miniaturization and lightweight design but is also strongly fueled by emerging fields such as the low-altitude economy (drones/eVTOL) and AI server computing power upgrades, which demand high-density and high-reliability electronic assembly. The 2026 exhibition will significantly upgrade its SMT display segment, focusing on integrated solutions for advanced packaging (such as SiP/Chiplet). Live demonstrations will feature fully automated high-precision mounting production lines integrated with real-time AI visual inspection, breaking through the bottlenecks in microelectronics assembly and significantly improving the yield rates and production efficiency of complex components. This initiative aims to provide core momentum for intelligent electronics manufacturing in China.

NEVs drive breakthroughs in wiring harness technology
Data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers shows that in 2024, sales of NEVs in China reached 12.866 million units, a year-on-year increase of 35.5%, accounting for 40.9% of total automobile sales. With the widespread adoption of 800V high-voltage platforms, the development of ultra-fast charging technology, and the deepening of intelligent connected technology, higher demands are being placed on high-voltage/high-current wiring harnesses and high-speed data transmission connectors (such as automotive Ethernet). Wiring harness processing technology is advancing toward lightweight, intelligent, high-safety, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression capabilities. The 2026 exhibition's Wiring Harness Processing and Connector Manufacturing zone will prominently feature cutting-edge solutions to address these challenges. These include ultra-high-voltage wiring harness processing equipment supporting 800A liquid-cooled fast charging, precision connector manufacturing technologies for high-speed data transmission, and automated flexible wiring harness production lines. These innovations will empower companies to navigate the wave of electrification in NEVs.

Intelligent manufacturing deepens integration, unlocking efficient and flexible production
The in-depth development of electronics manufacturing toward intelligent, green, and flexible production has become an irreversible trend. The 2026 exhibition will comprehensively showcase core technologies and equipment for intelligent manufacturing, including: fully automated production deeply integrated with robotics, intelligent sensing, and control systems, achieving a closed-loop unmanned operation from materials to finished products; flexible manufacturing through modular production line design combined with intelligent scheduling systems, enabling rapid switching for multi-variant orders; concentrated presentations of in-depth AI and industrial big data application solutions, such as predictive equipment maintenance and intelligent optimization of process parameters. Visitors will witness innovative products like self-adaptive intelligent floating tightening systems and high-efficiency vacuum pickup and quick-change devices supporting digital twins, providing solid support for building the smart factories of the future.

Multiple industry forums to decode trends and practical applications

This year's exhibition will concurrently host multiple high-level professional forums, delving deeply into technological breakthroughs and business implementation. We are actively inviting industry experts to focus on hot topics. Among them are glass substrate (TGV) advancing Chiplet packaging; mass transfer industrialization for Micro LED; manufacturing of three electric systems for new energy vehicles; dispensing technology in high-reliability electronic assembly; implementation of industrial internet platforms; scalability of flexible electronics; and low-carbon development in electronics manufacturing. These forums will serve not only as platforms for intellectual exchange but also as strategic hubs for gaining industry insights and connecting with practical solutions.

Precision business matchmaking to build an efficient cooperation ecosystem

Leveraging the global resource network of Messe München, productronica China 2026 will collaborate with industry associations, media, and relevant organizations to invite purchasing decision-makers from high-growth sectors such as the three electric systems of new energy vehicles, energy storage and charging infrastructure, AI servers, and low-altitude aircraft manufacturing. Additionally, professional buyer delegations from industrial electronics, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, new energy, engineering machinery, communications, healthcare, aerospace, and other application fields will visit the exhibition. They will engage in close exchanges with exhibitors to discuss innovative technologies and future industry trends.
