Connecting the World and Supporting Green Energy at CIBF2026

The China International Battery Fair (CIBF2026) is gearing up for its 18th edition from May 13th to 15th, hosted at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center. This year promises to be remarkable, with expectations of over 3,100 exhibitors from around the globe participating, showcasing a plethora of innovations in battery technology.

The fair is poised to cover a comprehensive range of the battery supply chain, which includes power storage and energy batteries, 3C cells, materials, manufacturing equipment, system solutions, and recycling applications. It will provide a significant overview of the current landscape in battery technology, reflecting the rapid advancements and the resultant potential for green energy solutions.

Key advancements featured at the fair will include solid-state and sodium-ion batteries, smart equipment, and carbon tracking systems. This gathering will not only spotlight international supply chain leaders but will also offer businesses a valuable platform to demonstrate their capabilities, forge partnerships, and explore new market opportunities.

Parallel to the exhibition, several high-level forums will delve into crucial topics such as emerging storage technologies and battery carbon footprint management. More than 2,000 industry experts, researchers, and business leaders are expected to share insights on policy directions, emerging technologies, and market trends—critical discussions for those invested in the future of battery technology and renewable energy.

This year’s focus will also extensively cover energy storage batteries, fuel cells, recycling technologies, and high-efficiency manufacturing equipment. These elements position the fair as a vital platform for zero-carbon industrial parks and low-emission development initiatives. The aim is to foster robust growth that aligns with a low-carbon economy.

In 2025, the Chinese battery sector closed the year with stable shipping volumes and rising prices, indicative of improved quality and efficiency across the industry. Throughout the year, exports amounted to 37.896 billion units, remaining steady compared to the previous year, but with a substantial value increase of 22.8%, totaling 82.279 billion USD. This underscores China's ongoing competitive edge in international markets, increasingly shifting toward energy batteries and emerging energy storage technologies while utilizing smart manufacturing to boost efficiency and support a higher value-added, lower-emission production process.

As the Chinese battery sector's competitiveness continues to enhance, CIBF2026 has established itself as a premier international fair, bridging government policies and the industry, technology, and markets, as well as national and international opportunities. The accelerating global energy transition, coupled with the strengthening Chinese battery sector, has led to the opening of visitor registrations for the CIBF. Industry professionals can reserve their spots on the official platform to participate in this important event for the international battery community.
