Formnext Asia Shenzhen will be held from August 26 to 28, 2025 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center in Shenzhen, China.
Since its introduction in the Chinese market in 2021, the Formnext brand has expanded and reached other regions in Asia. From next year, Formnext + PM South China will become Formnext Asia Shenzhen to reflect this rising influence. The organizer will remain Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co Ltd.
For those who do not know, the continent also hosts Formnext Forum Tokyo which will be held from September 25 to 26, 2025, in Tokyo, Japan.
The AM market in China and beyond
China is becoming an increasingly prominent player in the global additive manufacturing market, advancing in the domestic development of new AM technologies and their adoption across its industries.
Through its rebranding, the exhibition will see a closer alignment with Formnext’s worldwide event portfolio, providing access to additional international resources that will further support China’s position in the AM industry. Its expanded scope is also intended to enhance connectivity with the wider Asian market, creating new opportunities for business growth and collaboration throughout the region.
As a reminder, Formnext Asia Shenzhen follows the model of Formnext in Frankfurt, Germany, and showcases products and technologies across the entire additive manufacturing process chain, from pre- to post-production.
Alongside AM equipment, the platform brings together suppliers of raw materials, post-processing technologies, inspection equipment, AM solutions, services, and more. This ensures that visitors can source core equipment and the essential supporting technologies needed to utilize AM in industrial applications.
The 2025 edition will also expand beyond its existing product coverage to include a wider range of advanced manufacturing solutions, including digital production, automation, and precision forming. Presented alongside AM technologies, this will provide a more cohesive platform that supports every stage of the production workflow, encouraging further innovation and development throughout the industry.
As part of its rebranding, Formnext Asia Shenzhen will also extend its educational offerings beyond the core exhibition dates and South China region, launching a series of year-round events throughout the country.
These sessions will provide continuous learning opportunities for AM industry professionals and help industry newcomers understand the potential and applications of AM technologies. The restructured format will also enable contributing exhibitors and speakers to maintain consistent interaction with end users from application industries throughout the year.
