The 35th China International Health Industry Expo (Beijing) Concludes with Great Success
Technology Empowers Health, Innovation Drives the Future
From April 23 to 25, 2026, the 35th China International Health Industry Expo (CIHIE · World Health Expo) was held at the China International Exhibition Center in Beijing. As one of the most influential annual events in Asia’s health industry, this year’s expo brought together over 500 leading enterprises, research institutions, and innovative brands from home and abroad. Thousands of cutting-edge products and technologies were showcased, covering the entire health industry chain – including medical foods, functional foods with medicinal and edible ingredients, intelligent rehabilitation robots, AI-based TCM diagnostics, organic agricultural products, graphene health equipment, and micro-hyperbaric oxygen chambers. Tens of thousands of professional visitors and channel partners attended the event.
Deep Integration of Technology and Health: Robots Shine at the Expo
Against the backdrop of rapid advances in AI and robotics, “AI + Health” became the most eye-catching segment of the expo. The HIT Tianyu Robot Group demonstrated its AI meridian-adjusting massage robot and intelligent acupressure heat‑therapy bed, capable of precise meridian recognition and automated physical therapy. Zhongke Shangyi Health Technology introduced its flagship AI meridian robot, which uses 3D vision and deep learning to provide non‑pharmacological pain management. Deyee Robot, Xiaolijia, Shenzhen Meilimofang, and many other companies also exhibited embodied intelligent therapy robots and elderly-care companion robots, revealing the vast potential of technology-enabled wellness.
Medical Foods and Edible‑Medicinal Products Gain Traction, Precision Nutrition Emerges as a New Track
As the “Healthy China 2030” strategy deepens, special medical purpose foods and products that are both edible and medicinal have entered a phase of rapid growth. Exhibitors such as Ainoli, Quanke, and Tibet Duoxin displayed medical foods designed for perioperative care, electrolyte replenishment, and liquid diet support. Companies including Chia Tai Pharmaceutical (Zhenwutang), Dongbao Bio, and Zhongke Xizhen presented functional foods such as small‑molecule peptides, collagen peptides, and probiotics, drawing keen interest from channel partners and health management institutions.
Organic Life Pavilion Boasts Strong Turnout – Green Consumption Gains Momentum
In the International Organic Club zone at Hall 8, dozens of organic agriculture enterprises from across the country made a joint appearance. Heilongjiang Hanyuan Organic Farm, Shandong Yizheng Organic Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Jilin Dewei Rice Industry, and Saint‑Luu Estate’s organic wine, among others, brought high‑quality agricultural products certified by Chinese, US, and EU organic standards. Organic rose tea, organic blueberries, organic camellia oil, and Wuchang rice were especially popular, creating a lively atmosphere for procurement and business matching.
Modern TCM and Intangible Cultural Heritage Shine Side by Side
Live demonstrations of national intangible cultural heritage projects – including Congjiang Yao Bath and Qingyuan traditional incense‑making – allowed visitors to experience the charm of traditional wellness practices. At the same time, modern equipment such as the AI‑assisted TCM diagnostic system (incorporating tongue, face, and pulse analysis) and intelligent pulse‑detection devices are blending traditional Chinese medicine with modern technology, providing digital tools for TCM’s “preventive treatment of disease”.
Exhibitors Praise Precise Matchmaking and Tangible Results
Many exhibitors noted the high quality of professional visitors and the abundance of channel resources at this year’s expo. According to the organizer, more than a dozen industry forums, supply‑demand matchmaking sessions, and new product launches were held during the event, with on‑site intended cooperation exceeding RMB 500 million. The next CIHIE Shanghai exhibition will take place from June 15 to 17, 2026, followed by the Shenzhen exhibition from October 13 to 15.
With its hallmarks of innovation, integration, and real‑world impact, the 35th China International Health Industry Expo has once again demonstrated the vigorous vitality and global appeal of China’s large‑scale health industry.
