Drawing to a successful close with fruitful achievements, CBST2026 has fully lived up to the high expectations of the industry. Over the three-day event, the exhibition garnered extensive attention and in-depth participation from the global industrial chain, achieving comprehensive breakthroughs in exhibition scale, product innovation, audience professionalism and business docking efficiency, with multiple core indicators hitting record highs.

More than 85% of exhibitors showcased their core technologies, debut products and customized overall solutions at the show. The exhibits covered a full range of cutting-edge innovations, including fully automated flexible production workshops, industry-leading aseptic cold filling lines, laser heating technologies and intelligent operation and maintenance systems, as well as biodegradable packaging materials, zero-carbon production processes, high-activity probiotic fermentation technologies and precise nutritional functional beverage formulas. Every innovative achievement accurately addresses the industry’s pain points and meets enterprises’ core demands for cost reduction, efficiency improvement, green transformation and innovative development.

Though the grand event has come to an end, its far-reaching influence and industrial momentum continue to resonate across the industry. The conclusion of the exhibition marks not the end of communication, but a new starting point for in-depth business cooperation. Building on the on-site visits and in-depth negotiations during the event, cooperative ties between exhibitors and professional visitors have been continuously strengthened, and various intended cooperation achievements are being rapidly translated into tangible results. Many enterprises reported that they had confirmed factory inspection intentions with clients before the exhibition closed, and relevant sample testing cooperation is now in progress. The exhibition has greatly shortened customer development cycles and effectively improved customer conversion rates.

Some exhibitors have maintained cooperative relationships with clients met at CBST for more than a decade. For enterprises, CBST serves as a vital platform for maintaining long-term client connections and attracting new partners, realizing the core value of "one exhibition participation, year-round benefits and extensive industrial layout".

Inheriting the legacy and forging ahead, CBST consistently leads the sustainable development of the beverage industry. Since the exhibition was adjusted to an annual frequency starting from CBST2021 and CBST2023, followed by the strategic relocation of CBST2026 to Shenzhen, CBST has maintained continuous iteration and upgrading. It has witnessed and empowered the profound transformation of China’s beverage industry — from scale expansion to quality improvement, from domestic cultivation to global layout, and from traditional manufacturing to intelligent production.

Looking ahead, CBST2027 will closely follow global industrial trends and national development strategies. Focusing on intelligent manufacturing, green low-carbon development, digital transformation and healthy industrial ecology, it will build a top-tier platform for exchanges of cutting-edge theories and technologies. The exhibition will further expand its global reach and international cooperation network, attracting renowned suppliers and buyers from Europe, America, the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and other regions. It will continuously increase the proportion of international exhibitors and overseas professional visitors, and strengthen the coordination of the global supply chain.

Looking back, we harvest fruitful achievements; looking ahead, we embrace the future with full confidence. Driven by the in-depth development of the dual-circulation economic pattern, the steady recovery of global economic and trade cooperation, and the continuous release of domestic consumption upgrading demands, China’s beverage industry has entered a new development stage full of opportunities. The successful conclusion of CBST2026 marks a phased summary of industrial achievements and, more importantly, a brand-new starting point for CBST2027’s new journey.
