Demand has not subsided, industry iteration is new -2027 Shanghai International Water Exhibition invites you to explore the new track of water industry in the "15th Five Year Plan" together

On June 11th of this year, the 18th Shanghai International Water Exhibition, organized by Shanghai Horui Exhibition Service (Group) Co., Ltd., successfully concluded at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center! During the three-day exhibition, 2344 well-known domestic and foreign enterprises, 98743 domestic professional visitors from 182 countries and regions, and 28 terminal industries gathered at the event to achieve deep resource docking and value exchange on site. Behind the constantly refreshing data is the accelerated iteration of water treatment technology, as well as the common expectation of both supply and demand sides in the industry for efficient connectivity.

In the second half, the water treatment industry is undergoing a thorough positioning reform. In the face of rigid policy constraints and sustained public expectations for growth, water treatment projects will transform and upgrade from traditional business models centered on standard emissions and water purification equipment trading services to comprehensive facilities with multiple functions such as pollutant reduction, resource recycling, and livelihood scenario oriented services. In the past, processing rate and coverage were used as evaluation criteria, but now, the operational logic and value realization methods need to be re examined. The demand has not disappeared, but has grown again in more segmented scenarios such as industry, municipal, and water purification.

Deeply cultivate segmented demands, accurately link core buyers

The water treatment industry has a long chain and a wide range of product categories, but the purchasing logic of different types of buyers is not the same. Their decisions correspond to specific pain points in their respective business scenarios: distributors and agents are most concerned about the market competitiveness of their products, including technological differentiation and cost-effectiveness, while also valuing whether regional protection policies are in place and whether after-sales response can be timely, as this directly affects their profit margins and customer retention; When engineering companies land projects, they place greater emphasis on the compatibility of equipment with existing processes, whether delivery cycles can match construction schedules, and whether overall project procurement costs are controlled within budget. Any deviation may lead to project delays or losses; Water management units are concerned about operational stability and efficiency; End users are faced with more urgent practical issues, such as whether water quality continues to meet standards, whether energy consumption is too high, whether emissions are compliant, and whether production continuity can be guaranteed, which are intertwined.

Based on these differentiated needs, the 2027 Shanghai International Water Exhibition will focus on connecting distribution agents, engineering companies, design institutes, research institutions, water management companies, sewage treatment plants, and environmental management units, and strengthen targeted invitations to industrial terminals such as chemical manufacturing, energy and power, semiconductors, electronics, textile printing and dyeing, and food processing. Especially in the sub sectors of semiconductor ultrapure water and wastewater reuse, chemical high salt wastewater treatment, industrial park water-saving transformation, textile printing and dyeing reduction and reuse, there are clear technical routes and rigid equipment procurement budgets.

In addition, the exhibition will also accurately target new markets for water purification such as schools, hotels, hospitals, office buildings, and catering chains. It will deeply focus on the rigid demand for safe direct drinking water, medical pure water, washing soft water, kitchen clean water, and sewage discharge standards in diverse market scenarios. It is committed to achieving efficient and accurate matching between exhibited products and actual application scenarios, allowing enterprises to quickly contact professional buyers with demand, budget, and decision-making power. It will provide one-stop screening of mature commercial water purification and sewage treatment technologies for end users, and obtain professional support in the dimensions of full scene water purification solutions, equipment selection, operation and maintenance management, and water efficiency benchmarking, consolidating water safety protection.

Linking global resources to open up growth channels for domestic and foreign trade

International resources continue to converge, global trade connections upgrade again

Relying on years of deep industry cultivation and resource integration capabilities, the international volume of Shanghai International Water Expo continues to increase. In 2026, the overseas audience of the exhibition increased by about 17% year-on-year, further confirming the global market's attention to Chinese water treatment products, technologies, and solutions.

In 2027, the exhibition will continue to deepen its connections with embassies, international industry associations, and professional organizations on the basis of existing international resources, and strengthen overseas buyer invitations and cross-border business connections. Domestic enterprises can showcase product maturity, application cases, and delivery capabilities, and seek overseas agents, engineering partners, and project opportunities; International brands can also more directly meet the demands of China's municipal, industrial, and water purification markets, and expand local channels.

The international value is not only reflected in the number of overseas audiences, but also in making cross-border technological exchanges and trade cooperation truly happen. As a global showcase of water treatment technology, channel expansion, and project cooperation node, Shanghai International Water Exhibition will further amplify its own value and effectively promote the linkage of domestic and overseas resources.

During the 15th Five Year Plan period, new demands will be released to expand and improve the quality of the water treatment track

When the top-level planning clarifies the requirements for the "three water coordinated" governance, the three major tasks of water resource conservation and intensive utilization, water ecological environment governance, and urban infrastructure renewal will be promoted in coordination during the "15th Five Year Plan" period. Under a series of rigid policy deployments, the upgrading and renovation of urban sewage collection and treatment facilities, as well as the upgrading and replacement of old pipeline networks, are accelerating. The comprehensive implementation of the city wide water-saving action and the long-term operation and maintenance mechanism of water plant pipeline network integration is underway, and the segmented market is facing opportunities for definite expansion.

Industrial water treatment is extending from end of pipe treatment to the entire production process, with new technologies such as efficient membrane separation, concentration reduction, near zero emissions, and intelligent addition accelerating their entry into chemical, manufacturing, energy, semiconductor, and industrial park scenarios. Municipal water treatment places greater emphasis on plant network integration, sludge reduction and resource utilization, recycled water utilization, and digital water management. Urban renewal also provides new application entry points for pump valves, membrane materials, instruments and meters, automatic control, and intelligent management platforms.

In the field of clean water for people's livelihoods during the 15th Five Year Plan period, pipeline direct drinking water is becoming an important carrier for the implementation of the industry's systematic development plan. This top-level design elevates pipeline direct drinking water from an "optional supporting" to a "standard configuration" of public health infrastructure, promoting accelerated deployment in campus, medical, hotel, office, and catering scenarios. The demand for healthy drinking water is expanding from single point purification at the end of the household to systematic direct drinking water projects within building spaces. The core competitiveness of water purification enterprises is further transferred to operational capabilities such as smart water management platforms, nationwide operation and maintenance networks, and continuous optimization of water efficiency. The entire livelihood water purification track is entering a new stage of service-oriented manufacturing and long-term value symbiosis.

The policy does not bring abstract concepts, but clearer technological upgrading routes and procurement needs. The Shanghai International Water Exhibition will take advantage of this round of dividends and accurately anchor the high prosperity track. With a super large scale display volume, it will build a bridge for dialogue, exchange, and business cooperation, empowering the entire water and environmental protection industry to improve quality and efficiency, iterate technology, and layout globally.

Connecting display and transaction amplification to enhance the value of enterprise participation

Looking ahead, there are still new opportunities to be released in the water treatment industry, but the opportunities are becoming increasingly specific. It may come from the upgrading and renovation of sewage treatment plants, or from the wastewater reuse system of semiconductor companies; It may come from water-saving projects in industrial parks, or from upgrading direct drinking water in schools, hospitals, and hotels. Whoever is closer to the site of use and has an earlier procurement direction has a greater opportunity to transform technological advantages into the driving force of business growth.

From June 16th to 18th, 2027, the 19th Shanghai International Water Expo will officially move to the Shanghai New International Expo Center (Pudong), opening a new stage of high-quality development with a brand new venue and a more complete layout of the route. As soon as the news was released, exhibitors responded enthusiastically - international giants such as DuPont, Heideneng, NanoH2O (formerly LG), Blue Star Dongli, RainSoft, Atlas Filtri S.r.l., Judo, Karofi, etc. were the first to lock in large-scale booths; Leading companies in the industry such as Walton, Bishuiyuan, Sinochem Hangshui, Wanhua, Zhongqiao, Hechuang, Gongyuan, Midea, Talos, Benyuan, and Abbott have all increased their exhibition space; Leading brands such as Hymenon, Lisheng, Sino, Qinsen, Jingjin, Kangtai, and Sudong are also actively adding booths. From membrane and water treatment, commercial water purification scenarios, to municipal sewage treatment, industrial wastewater treatment, sludge reduction, and resource utilization in the entire industry chain, leading enterprises in various sub sectors are competing to expand, and the enthusiasm for booth bookings continues to rise, fully demonstrating the industry's high recognition and confidence in new venues and platforms.

Whether you focus on commercial water purification, pipeline direct drinking water, whole house water purification, wastewater treatment, industrial pure water, membranes and membrane accessories, or smart water management and comprehensive solutions, this will be an important stop to showcase products, connect customers, expand channels, and explore domestic and foreign markets.

The core booth has now started booking, with early bird discounts and limited value-added services simultaneously open.
