The 2026 Qingdao International Rubber Technology Fair (RTF) will be held from July 8th to 11th, 2026 at the Qingdao World Expo City. This year's RTF will cover an Fair area of 42,600 square meters and bring together 491 industry exhibitors.
The Value of Participating in the Qingdao International Rubber Technology Fair (RTF):
1. The largest and most influential brand rubber industry event in Shandong Province: The Qingdao International Rubber Technology Fair (RTF) is jointly organized by the Shandong Rubber Industry Association and Qingdao University of Science and Technology. Since its inception in 2004, it has been successfully held for many years and is an important international exchange platform for the Chinese rubber industry to expand its market and promote corporate visibility. The Fair is held concurrently and at the same venue as the Qingdao International Tire & Wheel Fair (CTF), promoting technological progress and sustainable development of rubber hoses and belts and related industries under the new economic development model. ·
2. A one-stop Fair platform covering the entire industry chain: The Fair covers the entire industry chain of rubber machinery and equipment (complete sets of equipment, single machines, molds and technologies for rubber product manufacturing and testing, etc.), rubber compounding, modification and granulation equipment and technologies (single and twin screw extruders, granulators, mixers, etc.), rubber raw materials (natural rubber, synthetic rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, reclaimed rubber and rubber powder, compound rubber, etc.), rubber additives (various rubber and plastic additives, carbon black, fillers, masterbatches, etc.), and non-tire rubber products (rubber hoses, rubber belts, conveyor belts, automotive rubber products, mining engineering rubber products, etc.).
3. Precise Connection with Global Core Buyers and Supply Chain Resources: The Shandong Peninsula rubber industry, spearheaded by Qingdao, accounts for half of the national total, producing 52% of the nation's tires and exporting 50% of its tires. It boasts half of the top ten tire brands in China. Leveraging Qingdao Port, China's second-largest foreign trade port, Qingdao University of Science and Technology (known as the "Whampoa Military Academy of China's Rubber Industry"), and numerous research institutes, rubber machinery companies, professional software companies, and logistics companies in the rubber field, a complete rubber industry chain integrating teaching, research, production, and trade has been formed.
4. Unique Value for Chinese Enterprises – A Strategic Engine for Deepening the Shandong Rubber Industry: Shandong Province is China's largest rubber and tire production base, and Qingdao is a renowned domestic and international tire trading center and rubber industry cluster. RTF is a core platform for Chinese rubber companies to showcase their independent technologies, connect with regional customers, and expand market channels. Leveraging Qingdao's locational advantages and industrial foundation, the Fair provides exhibitors with a strategic platform to connect with the national and global rubber markets.
5. A Frontier for Technological Innovation and Industry Trends: The Fair will host professional forums such as the "International Forum on New Rubber and Plastics Hose and Belt Industry Technology," promoting technological advancements and sustainable development in the rubber belt, hose, and related industries. The Fair will showcase cutting-edge products and technologies in rubber machinery and equipment, rubber chemicals, rubber raw materials, and rubber products.
6. Qingdao's Location and Industrial Advantages: Qingdao boasts China's second-largest port with a throughput exceeding 100 million tons, is adjacent to South Korea and Japan, and radiates throughout Southeast Asia, resulting in huge market demand. Qingdao imports over 1.7 million tons of natural rubber annually, accounting for more than 60% of China's total natural rubber imports, earning it the title of "World Rubber City" in the East, with a long history of rubber industry. Leveraging Qingdao's strategic position as the center of China's rubber industry, RTF provides exhibitors with a strategic platform to connect with national and global markets.
