CPHI China 2026 — the 24th edition of the world’s leading pharmaceutical ingredients exhibition in China — opens its doors on June 16–18, 2026 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). With over 3,600 exhibitors, 240,000 sqm of exhibition space, and an expected attendance of 110,000+ professionals from 150+ countries, it remains Asia’s most important sourcing event for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical raw materials.

For buyers of botanical and plant-based ingredients, this year’s show is particularly noteworthy: CPHI China 2026 has upgraded its Natural Extracts zone to a full “Natural Products” pavilion (NEX), concentrated in Halls E4, E5, and E15, with 500+ participating companies specialising in botanical extracts, standardised phytochemicals, and related raw materials.

This guide focuses on three of the most in-demand plant extracts globally:

•  Green Tea Extract — EGCG & Tea Polyphenols
•  Turmeric Extract — Curcumin 95%
•  Ashwagandha Extract — Withanolides

Below you’ll find confirmed exhibitor booth numbers, company backgrounds, and practical tips for making the most of your time on the show floor.

CPHI 2026 at a Glance

CPHI & PMEC China 2026 — Shanghai

The show covers the entire pharmaceutical supply chain: APIs, excipients, biologics, contract manufacturing (CRO/CMO), pharmaceutical machinery, packaging, and laboratory equipment. For ingredient buyers, the NEX — Natural Products pavilion is the primary destination.

CPHI Worldwide 2026 — Milan

If you cannot attend the Shanghai show, CPHI Worldwide in Milan in October offers another major opportunity to meet global botanical ingredient suppliers — particularly European and Indian manufacturers.

Why Green Tea Extract, Curcumin & Ashwagandha?

These three botanicals consistently rank among the world’s top-selling nutraceutical ingredients, driven by strong clinical evidence, consumer awareness, and expanding formulation applications:

• Green Tea Extract (EGCG / Tea Polyphenols) — Antioxidant powerhouse. EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and tea polyphenols are used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical formulations. China is the world’s dominant producer, with Zhejiang and Hunan provinces as key sourcing hubs.
• Turmeric Extract (Curcumin 95%) — The gold standard anti-inflammatory. Curcumin standardised to 95% has become a benchmark specification for dietary supplement manufacturers globally. Demand surged post-2020 and remains strong across sports nutrition, joint health, and cognitive wellness categories.
• Ashwagandha Extract (Withanolides) — Adaptogen of the decade. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has seen explosive growth in the Western market. While the root is grown primarily in India, China-based processors and Indian exporters both attend CPHI China seeking international buyers.

Green Tea Extract Suppliers at CPHI China 2026

(EGCG · Tea Polyphenols · Catechins)

The following companies are exhibiting at CPHI China 2026 and are known producers or suppliers of green tea extract, EGCG, and tea polyphenols. Booths are located in the Natural Products pavilion (Halls E4 / E5).

Sourcing Tip: When evaluating green tea extract suppliers, ask specifically about EGCG content (≥98% HPLC), total polyphenol content, decaffeinated options, and available certifications (USDA Organic, EU Organic, Kosher, Halal). Delekang (E4C90) is an ideal first stop given their exclusive focus on tea ingredients.

Turmeric Extract Suppliers at CPHI China 2026

(Curcumin 95% · Curcuminoids · Water-Soluble Curcumin)

China has become a major processing hub for turmeric extract, sourcing raw turmeric from India and other regions and manufacturing standardised curcumin extracts for the global supplement market. The following exhibitors offer curcumin products:

Sourcing Tip: The standard benchmark for dietary supplement grade is Curcumin 95% (curcuminoids by HPLC). Additionally, enquire about enhanced bioavailability formats such as phospholipid complexes (Meriva-type), nano-emulsified curcumin, or BCM-95®-equivalent formulations if your applications require higher absorption.

Ashwagandha Extract Suppliers at CPHI China 2026

(Withanolides · KSM-66® equivalent · Full-Spectrum Root Extract)

Ashwagandha is primarily cultivated in India (Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh), and Indian manufacturers dominate the supply of branded/standardised extracts. However, CPHI China attracts both Indian exporters with dedicated booths and Chinese processors who source and manufacture Ashwagandha extract. Key exhibitors include:

Sourcing Tip: For Ashwagandha, the key specification to clarify upfront is the Withanolides percentage (common benchmarks: 1.5%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%), the plant part used (root-only vs. root+leaf), and whether extraction is water-based or solvent-based. Indian suppliers typically offer root-only water extract (premium) — confirm these details before requesting samples.

Tips for Sourcing Botanical Extracts at CPHI China 2026

1. Start in Halls E4 and E5 (Natural Products / NEX pavilion)
   The vast majority of plant extract suppliers are concentrated here. Arrive early on Day 1 to cover the most booths before the halls get crowded.
2. Bring your specification sheets
   For each ingredient, have your target COA specs ready (e.g. EGCG ≥98%, Curcumin 95% HPLC, Withanolides 2.5% UV). This allows suppliers to immediately confirm whether their standard products match — and saves time on both sides.
3. Request on-site samples
   Most exhibitors bring samples to the show. Request labelled samples with lot numbers and preliminary COA so you can arrange lab testing after the event.
4. Ask about certifications proactively
   Depending on your target market, certifications matter: USDA/EU Organic, Non-GMO Project, Kosher (OU), Halal, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, GMP (FDA/CGMP for US market). Many suppliers have these but won’t mention them unless asked.
5. Negotiate annual volumes upfront
   Suppliers at CPHI are looking for long-term partners. If you can indicate expected annual volume (even a rough range), you’ll get better pricing and more senior attention at the booth.
6. Check Hall E1 for international suppliers
   Indian and European companies (including Indus Biotech E1.1C02 and Indena E1F24) often exhibit in the international halls. Don’t skip this area if you’re sourcing Ashwagandha or require European-origin botanical extracts.
