Tube China is Asia’s premier trade fair for the tube, pipe and wire industries. Organised by Messe Düsseldorf (Shanghai) Co Ltd, the 2024 edition will run 25 – 28 September at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, occupying 50,000 m² and expecting 1,200 exhibitors from Austria, Germany, Italy, Japan, the USA and China. The show is co-located with Wire China, creating the largest sourcing platform of its kind in the region. Visitors—pipeline contractors, OCTG and energy specialists, automotive and aerospace engineers, shipbuilders, architects and distributors—will see everything from seamless and welded tubes, precision and stainless pipes to bending, end-forming, finishing, testing, corrosion-protection and tooling machinery. Live-action zones include the “Tube & Pipe Application Plaza” where leading mills demonstrate bending, cutting and hydro-forming on large-diameter material, and the “Innovation Corridor” that spotlights green production, hydrogen-ready linepipe and high-strength lightweight solutions. A three-day technical conference runs alongside, organised by the Chinese Society for Metals and the China Wire & Tube Association. Confirmed keynotes are Dr Li Xinjun, Baowu Steel, on low-carbon tube rolling; Mr Bernhard Müller, SMS group, on digital twins for seamless pipe mills; Prof. Chen Jie, University of Science & Technology Beijing, on hydrogen embrittlement testing protocols; and Mr Andreas Schön, Rohrbogen AG, on additive manufacturing of nickel-alloy fittings. Daily sessions cover API standard updates, CCS and subsea riser qualification, and the new EU CBAM impact on Chinese exporters. A “New Product Theatre” gives 30-minute slots to companies launching laser-welded micro-tubes, flexible composite pipes and AI-based ultrasonic inspection systems. Registration is free-of-charge for trade visitors; the concurrent app enables booth navigation, buyer-supplier matchmaking and live streaming of selected machine demos. Tube China 2024 positions itself as the must-attend event for anyone seeking to source next-generation tubular solutions and production technology in the Asian market.
