Asia Pacific Chemical Expo 2025 Launches, Highlighting Advanced Materials and Industrial Collaboration

Time : 2025-11-04

The Asia Pacific Chemical Expo 2025, one of the region’s most influential chemical industry events, kicked off on Wednesday at the Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center. Attracting 420+ enterprises from 28 countries—with a strong presence from Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia—the three-day expo, themed “Advanced Materials Empower Industrial Upgrading”, has drawn over 15,000 professional attendees, including researchers, procurement managers, and policy makers.

A standout section was the Advanced Materials Zone, where exhibitors showcased game-changing products for high-tech sectors. Japan’s Toray Industries presented its latest carbon fiber composites, which are 30% lighter than traditional aluminum alloys while offering 50% higher strength—ideal for electric vehicle (EV) bodies and aerospace components. “This material will cut EV weight by 15%, boosting battery efficiency significantly,” said a Toray engineer during a product demo. Meanwhile, South Korea’s LG Chem unveiled a new lithium-sulfur battery electrolyte that extends battery life by 40% and reduces production costs by 25%, targeting the renewable energy storage market.

Collaboration between academia and industry was another key focus. China’s Tsinghua University partnered with local chemical firm Wanhua Chemical to display a joint-developed biodegradable polyurethane foam. Made from agricultural waste like corn stalks, the foam breaks down in soil within six months and performs as well as petroleum-based alternatives in furniture and packaging. “This cooperation shows how university research can quickly translate into industrial solutions,” noted a Tsinghua professor at the expo.

The expo also hosted a “SME Innovation Showcase”, supporting small enterprises with groundbreaking technologies. A Vietnamese startup, GreenChem, introduced a low-cost enzyme that converts agricultural waste into bioethanol—slashing production costs by 30% compared to existing methods. By the end of the first day, GreenChem had signed two memorandums of understanding with Chinese biofuel companies. “This expo gives us a chance to prove our technology to big players,” said GreenChem’s CEO.

Organizers reported that over 80 business meetings were scheduled on the first day, with expected deal value exceeding $200 million. “The Asia Pacific Chemical Expo 2025 is not just a trade event—it’s a hub for driving the region’s chemical industry toward sustainability and innovation,” said the expo director. As the event continues, attendees anticipate more breakthroughs and partnerships that will shape the future of the chemical sector in Asia and beyond.
