Spanning a total exhibition area of 180,000 square meters, the Connexion ShenZhen 2026 will bring together over 2,000 premium exhibitors from across the industry chain and is projected to welcome more than 120,000 domestic and international professional buyers.

Golden October Timing, Seizing Opportunities in South China
Positioned as a core engine of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), Shenzhen neighbors Hong Kong and Macao and is within easy reach of Southeast Asia, serving as a pivotal hub connecting South China’s supply chains with global markets. In 2025, the revenue from food industrial enterprises above designated size in Guangdong approached CNY 900 billion, with the Shenzhen-led coastal food cluster topping CNY 50 billion. This massive production and sales base fuels robust market demand for food processing and packaging machinery. Leveraging the pilot policies and the sustained support for AI and smart manufacturing in the GBA, the processing and packaging sector is accelerating its technological iterations and industrial upgrades.
Scheduled in October, ProPak Shenzhen strategically aligns with the key purchasing and annual budget execution cycle of the food enterprises in the Greater Bay Area. This enables exhibitors to directly connect with food, beverage, and health brands across South China and nationwide, precisely capturing terminal market demands for smart automation and sustainable production solutions. Moreover, capitalizing on its proximity to the Canton Fair, the exhibition is poised to attract more international visitors, helping exhibitors engage with more overseas buyers to expand into Southeast Asian and global markets.
Leading Brands Converge, Full Value-Chain Solutions in One Place
Focusing on the entire processing and packaging industrial chain, ProPak Shenzhen 2026 highlights food processing machinery, packaging equipment, automation and robotics, packaging materials and products, as well as logistics packaging. It delivers one-stop processing and packaging solutions tailored for enterprises across the Greater Bay Area in food and beverage, alcoholic drinks, health and nutrition products, dairy, condiments, prepared foods, and e-commerce logistics.
From front-end processing to back-end packaging, from stand-alone machinery to integrated lines, and from hardware equipment to intelligent systems, the exhibits span the complete processing and packaging value chain. Key stand-alone machinery includes mainstream equipment such as automatic packaging machines, filling machines, and sealing machines. Intelligent equipment encompasses collaborative robots and machine vision inspection systems. System-level solutions cover multi-lane stick-pack collating and pouching lines, powder processing and dust-free packaging systems, and end-of-line packaging line planning. Supporting packaging materials range from roll films and packaging bags to labels and cartons.
Professional Forums Navigating Future Industry Trends
More than a showcase for products and brands, the exhibition stands as an essential platform for the exchange of cutting-edge ideas and the connection of trade resources. A series of thematic forums and specialized seminars will take place during ProPak Shenzhen 2026, focusing on key topics such as advanced manufacturing, innovative packaging design, AI and robotics, food safety, and low-carbon compliance, forging a high-level platform for industry exchanges.
Bringing together industry association representatives, outstanding packaging designers, smart manufacturing experts, food safety scholars, and food enterprise executives, these forums will feature in-depth discussions on industry trends, key technological breakthroughs, and industry pain points, helping enterprises forecast market direction and driving high-quality industrial advancement.
From October 13 to 15, ProPak Shenzhen 2026 will take the stage at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. Let us connect in Shenzhen to unlock new industrial opportunities!
