AID 2026: A Gateway to Opportunities in the Expanding Silver Economy



The International Exhibition of Senior Care, Rehabilitation Medicine, and Healthcare—known as AID 2026—will take place from June 4 to 6, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC). This premier event is regarded as China’s leading platform for showcasing advancements and solutions within the senior care sector, particularly surrounding the silver economy, expected to generate significant investment and innovation.

A Response to an Aging Population


With China's population aged 60 and above now exceeding 323 million, which accounts for 23% of the total population, the government is prioritizing the development of elderly care services. The 2026 Government Work Report emphasizes the urgency to enhance these services and facilitate new growth avenues within this sector. Recent policy updates have encouraged foreign investment in areas including elderly care services and products, setting the stage for international companies to enter a market ready for exploration and expansion.

The silver economy is projected to surpass RMB 30 trillion by 2035, which highlights the substantial opportunities that exist for both domestic and foreign businesses. AID 2026 aims to provide a thorough understanding of China's senior care market dynamics through specialized events and discussions, ensuring that participants leave with actionable insights.

What to Expect at AID 2026


The AID 2026 expo will cover a sprawling 60,000 square meters, housing over 600 exhibitors from worldwide regions. Visitors will have the chance to explore the following areas:
  • - Smart Elderly Care: Innovative technologies for efficient and effective elder care.
  • - Rehabilitation Devices: Cutting-edge solutions aiding senior mobility and rehabilitation processes.
  • - Assisted Living Technologies: Tools and equipment designed for independent living support.
  • - Integrated Health Services: Comprehensive health care approaches, catering to the unique needs of the elderly.

In addition to exhibitions, AID 2026 has launched its overseas social media initiative entitled ‘Aging in China,’ designed to keep interested parties informed of all developments and insights within the aging industry.
