Seize the Trillion Opportunity | Pre registration for the 2026 Shanghai International Water Expo officially begins! Gather in Hongqiao in June and attend the peak feast of the global water industry together

Abstract: The 18th Shanghai International Water Exhibition, the world's largest water treatment exhibition, will grandly kick off at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center (Hongqiao) from June 9-11, 2026. At present, the pre registration channel for exhibition visitors has been fully opened. We sincerely invite you to join us in this global water industry feast!

The household penetration rate of the water purification industry has exceeded 30%, and the industry's focus is shifting from selling popular products to innovating service models in existing markets, exploring sustainable profit paths.

Under the constraint of "dual carbon", the demand for industrial wastewater treatment has been upgraded, and the technological focus has shifted from "pollution control" to "resource recycling", exploring the recycling value of scarce resources in wastewater and achieving a closed loop between pollution control and economic benefits.

Driven by the goal of "ecological civilization construction", membrane technology is reshaping the water ecological pattern. This emerging industry, with an average annual growth rate of over 15% and a market size of nearly 500 billion yuan by 2025, is expanding from sewage treatment to emerging fields such as seawater industry, salt lake industry, and biomedicine.

From the profit dilemma of the "filter assassin" to the challenge of industrial pollution control and resource utilization, and to the pain point of high-end membrane materials being "stuck", industry transformation can no longer rely on existing experience; Coincidentally with the implementation of the new regulations on pollutant discharge standards for urban sewage treatment plants and the acceleration of the construction of the Beautiful China pilot zone, the market demand for industrial wastewater, pipeline direct drinking water, seawater desalination, and other products has fully exploded. Under the interweaving of multidimensional changes, how to find the right direction and seize the commanding heights of the next decade?

——The 18th Shanghai International Water Exhibition, held in Hongqiao, Shanghai in June, offers not only equipment, but also systematic solutions that directly address pain points, as well as a new coordinate system that leads the global water treatment field.

This is a 'super feast' for global water treatment professionals

——180000 square meters of full industry chain coverage, one-stop alignment of all products across the entire line

The 2026 Shanghai International Water Expo is not only a showcase of technology and equipment, but also a barometer leading the global trend of water industry development. The exhibition deeply integrates the four major fields of municipal, civil, industrial, and water environment, focusing on core areas such as water purification, membrane and water treatment, environmental water treatment, and pump pipe valves, to connect the entire water treatment industry chain. As one of the series exhibitions of the World Environmental Protection Association, simultaneous linkage includes the World Environmental Protection Association Pump and Valve Exhibition, Green Manufacturing Exhibition, Instrument and Meter Exhibition, Pipeline System Exhibition, Elderly Care Exhibition, HVAC Comfort Exhibition, etc., to build a strong environmental protection and healthy living ecology. Not only does it horizontally expand the boundaries of water treatment, but it also vertically delves into related industries and other application scenarios, truly achieving a "one-stop" preview of the whole picture.

This is the 'first stop' to open up the overseas race track

——11000 overseas buyers attend, with 100 precise matchmaking sessions linking global business opportunities

Under the new development pattern of "dual circulation", the 2026 Shanghai International Water Exhibition will become the preferred international trade platform for efficient docking of the global water treatment industry: overseas buyers can reach China's high-quality supply chain in one stop, and domestic professional visitors can learn about international cutting-edge technology and products without leaving the country. Thanks to continuous global promotion and precise invitation plans for major buyers, the overseas influence of the exhibition continues to increase. Last year, the number of overseas visitors increased by 53%, and this year it is expected to attract 11000 overseas buyers from 70+countries and regions including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and America. Over a hundred 1v1 business matching events will be held online and offline throughout the year, providing an efficient communication bridge for buyers and suppliers.
