More than 1,000 branded products were showcased, alongside live demonstrations of hundreds of advanced machines in operation, offering visitors a comprehensive industry experience.
The exhibition was organized across five major zones—Tissue Paper, Disposable Hygiene Products, Raw & Auxiliary Materials, Machinery & Equipment, and Health & Medical Care—covering the complete upstream and downstream supply chain and presenting the latest trends, technologies, and innovations shaping the sector.

The Disposable Hygiene Products Pavilion hosted more than 150 exhibitors, highlighting innovations across feminine care, baby care, adult incontinence products, and wipes, showcasing advanced product solutions tailored to evolving consumer demands.
Meanwhile, the Raw & Auxiliary Materials Pavilion brought together over 350 exhibitors presenting new-generation materials and technologies that support product enhancement, quality improvement, and industry modernization.
The Machinery & Equipment Pavilion emerged as a major attraction with 400 exhibitors displaying smart, digital, and highly automated machinery solutions designed to improve operational efficiency and support technology upgrades for manufacturers.
A dedicated Health & Medical Care Pavilion focused on the growing silver economy and healthcare consumption trends. With 32 exhibitors, including elderly care product providers, rehabilitation aid centers, healthcare brands, e-commerce platforms, and industry associations, the pavilion highlighted emerging opportunities in the rapidly expanding health and wellness segment.
To strengthen international industry collaboration and support global business expansion, CIDPEX 2026 introduced a special overseas service ecosystem zone in Hall G1 under the theme “Craftsmanship Goes Global • Jointly Building the Silk Road.” The zone featured service providers from overseas industrial parks, cross-border e-commerce platforms, logistics and warehousing companies, certification agencies, financial and taxation services, and international retail networks.
The upgraded Global Buyer Negotiation Area further enhanced international business opportunities by creating a precise and efficient resource-matching platform for both Chinese manufacturers and overseas buyers, helping companies expand into global markets while facilitating stronger international partnerships.
Complementing the exhibition, the Overseas Expansion Development Conference brought together industry experts, major e-commerce platform leaders, and successful overseas brand representatives to provide strategic insights into global market expansion and international business development.
The Tissue & Hygiene Innovation Forum also served as a key knowledge-sharing platform, featuring specialized sessions including the “Tmall” Session, “JD.com” Session, “Debut Economy” Session, and Science Popularization Special Session. These sessions offered practical strategies and market intelligence from both industry experts and leading digital commerce platforms.
For more than three decades, CIDPEX has remained deeply committed to the tissue paper and hygiene products industry, continuously evolving alongside global market developments and serving as a premier platform for technology exchange, brand promotion, and trade cooperation.
Looking ahead, the 34th China International Disposable Paper Expo (CIDPEX 2027) will return to the Nanjing International Expo Center from April 13–17, 2027, promising a refreshed experience and even greater opportunities for industry stakeholders worldwide.
With strong momentum from this year’s success, CIDPEX continues to play a vital role in driving innovation, fostering collaboration, and shaping the future of the global tissue and hygiene products industry.
