Debut of Three Major New Exhibition Zones

Precisely Filling Industry Exhibition Gaps

Building on the traditional strong areas of functional films, adhesive tapes, and coating & die-cutting, this year's expo innovatively introduces three new zones: Adhesives, Fluorosilicone Materials, and Color & Innovative Design. These zones not only inject fresh energy into industry development but also precisely fill exhibition gaps in these fields.

The Adhesives and Chemical Raw Materials Zone focuses on high-value industries like new energy, electronics, automotive, semiconductors, humanoid robots, and low-altitude economy. It covers the full range of products including OCA optical adhesives, electronic adhesives, thermal conductive adhesives, photoresist, hot melt adhesives, epoxy adhesives, and polyurethane adhesives. The Fluorosilicone Materials Zone showcases the full industry chain including fluorine-containing materials and high-end applications, silicones, and silicon-based new materials. The Color & Innovative Design Zone brings together three sections: color trend releases, new materials & processes, and sustainable materials. From color inspiration to practical application, it provides cutting-edge ideas and green solutions for product design.

Global Resource Convergence

International Cooperation Moving to a Higher Level

As the globally recognized "annual trendsetter" of the film industry, this year's exhibition has once again set a new record in terms of international presence. Compared to previous editions, the changes this year go beyond just a 'longer exhibitor list.' From the exhibitor mix and product depth to buyer demand matching, everything is of higher quality, and the entire international chain is stepping up a level.

What's even more noteworthy is the changes on the buyer side. This year's exhibition welcomed groups of overseas buyers from multiple countries and regions, including professional purchasing teams led by international industry organizations. Compared to last year, the proportion of international visitors has continued to rise significantly, and the mix is more 'solid'-mainly consisting of purchasing decision-makers, technical leaders, and project managers, all coming with clear specifications, production capacity, and delivery requirements.

Precise Business Matching

Efficient Supply and Demand Connection

To further boost collaboration between exhibitors and visitors, the expo sets up a one-on-one business matching system, organizing multiple special sessions for TAP invited VIP buyers. The TAP team collects procurement needs in advance and accurately matches buyers with top suppliers; both sides negotiate face-to-face based on real demands, connecting the supply chain efficiently and facilitating cooperation, maximizing the value of business time.

At the same time, many industry-leading companies confirm group visits. Corporate procurement teams come with genuine purchasing needs, discover quality suppliers at the expo, discuss supply chain resources, and build long-term stable industry partnerships, turning more cooperation intentions into actual results.

Day Seven

An Exciting First Day of Meetings

Forum Discussions on the Future

On the first day, multiple high-quality meetings were held simultaneously, with industry experts and company representatives diving deep into hot topics such as innovations in the film and tape industry, market trends, and application expansion. They shared cutting-edge insights and practical experiences, providing intellectual support for industry development and discussing the future of the sector together.
