Trade fairs in Shanghai: Pharma & Life Sciences

Why it matters

Messe München's analytica brand in China — analytical instruments, lab equipment, diagnostics and biotech. Chinese pharma R&D and academic labs still buy substantial amounts of imported instrumentation, and unlike medical devices this does not need NMPA device registration, so the barrier is much lower.

Who is in the room

Laboratory managers, pharma and biotech R&D, QC departments, research institutes

Good fit for

• Analytical instrument and lab equipment makers
• Consumables, reagent and reference material suppliers
• Lab automation and software vendors

Good fit for

• Pharmaceutical process equipment makers
• Cleanroom and containment suppliers
• Pharma packaging line vendors

Why it matters

The Chinese edition of the global CPHI network, run jointly with PMEC for machinery and packaging — the practical place to meet Chinese API producers and CDMOs, and equally to sell excipients, equipment and services into them. Genuinely international attendance.

Who is in the room

API buyers, CDMO partners, formulation and packaging buyers

Good fit for

• API and excipient suppliers
• CDMO and contract-manufacturing partnering
• Pharma equipment and packaging suppliers
