About this fair
analytica China 2026 is confirmed for 16–18 November at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The fair covers laboratory technology, instrumental analysis, diagnostics, biotechnology, laboratory automation, quality control and consumables. By June 2026 the organiser had already reported more than 1,100 registered exhibitors and an area close to 85,000 square metres, confirming a large-scale edition. For professional buyers it enables comparison of instrumentation and suppliers of components or consumables, but decisions should be based on accuracy, calibration, recurring consumables, software, support and technical service. For regulated equipment, diagnostics or medical use, it is essential to distinguish general laboratory requirements from medical-device requirements.
Most in-demand products
Analytical instrumentation, laboratory technology, diagnostics, biotechnology, automation, sample preparation, quality control, consumables and laboratory software.

Is this trade fair worth visiting?
✓ Yes
Yes, especially if you source Pharmaceuticals & Health, Industrial Machinery, want to compare samples in person or negotiate with several manufacturers in a few days.
— Not necessarily
Probably not if your product belongs to a different sector than Pharmaceuticals & Health, Industrial Machinery, you already have verified suppliers and only need repeat orders, or the potential volume does not justify the trip.
Tips for visitors
Request metrological specifications, repeatability, calibration requirements, consumables, software compatibility, maintenance and service availability. For diagnostics or medical devices, review the specific regulatory classification and documentation.

Getting around
Shanghai has one of the world's largest metro networks. SNIEC is mainly served via Longyang Road/Huamu Road and NECC via East Xujing/National Exhibition and Convention Center, depending on the entrance. The Maglev links Pudong Airport with Longyang Road in about eight minutes; continue from there by metro or taxi.
On local networks in mainland China, some international services may be restricted or unavailable. If you rely on them for work, prepare a connectivity solution that complies with current rules before travelling and do not depend on a single app. Hong Kong operates under a different internet regime.
