China Glass 2026, one of the world’s most influential exhibitions for the glass industry, is scheduled to take place on 7–10 April 2026 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). The event is expected to once again bring together global manufacturers, technology suppliers, and industry decision-makers across the full value chain of glass production and processing.

Recognised as a key annual reference point for the sector, China Glass has built its reputation on presenting both industrial-scale solutions and next-generation innovation, covering everything from architectural and flat glass production to advanced processing equipment and automation systems.

At the centre of the exhibition is the production and transformation of flat glass, with strong representation from suppliers involved in:

• glass manufacturing technologies and furnace solutions
• deep processing lines for tempering, laminating, insulating glass and edge finishing
• automation, handling and smart factory equipment
• materials, coatings, interlayers and functional glass components
• testing, inspection and quality-control systems

For processors and façade-oriented markets, China Glass remains an important opportunity to track how global suppliers are adapting to demands for energy efficiency, performance glazing, speed of fabrication, and consistent quality at scale. With industry priorities shifting toward circularity, lower emissions, and higher building performance targets, exhibitions of this calibre increasingly act as a preview of the technologies that will shape the next generation of glass and façade projects worldwide.

With Shanghai’s SNIEC offering a major international hub for trade and innovation, China Glass 2026 is positioned as a strategic meeting point for companies looking to strengthen supply networks, review the latest machinery developments, and benchmark product capabilities against global standards.
