APEX Asia 2025 to attract cross-continental audience

APEX Asia returns to Shanghai, 28-31 October 2025, promising a world-leading showcase of the latest aerial platform equipment, alongside related components and services.

Organised by KHL Group and Industrial Promotions International (IPI) in association with Access International, APEX Asia provides a vital gateway to China’s vast MEWP market and will be the largest gathering of powered access equipment manufacturers and suppliers in the region this year.

A previous APEX Asia.

Now in its fifth edition, the show has become a must attend event and is set to attract visitors from across Southeast Asia and the Middle East, where the rental sector and investment in access equipment is accelerating.

Held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), the show is co-located with CeMAT ASIA - the continent’s premier exhibition for material handling, automation and logistics with its 900+ exhibitors across 80,000 square metres.

And, with exhibitors from outside Asia making up a significant part of CeMAT ASIA, APEX Asia attendees will benefit from international exposure to cutting-edge technologies.

Essential regional hub 

As well as exhibits from a comprehensive range of suppliers, APEX Asia is the essential destination for buyers, users, and innovators in the sector, with visitors benefiting from a vital overview of the current access market in China and wider Asia.

While China’s access industry has seen a downturn in recent years, the total number of MEWPs operating in the country is set to increase significantly, according to industry experts.

As forecasted, the MEWP population will rise from 800,000 now to 1.2 million in the next five years, driven by a rebound in the construction sector in big cities and growth in the country’s more than 10,000 smaller towns that have not yet adopted powered access.
