The 12th China International Cable and Wire Exhibition (wire China 2026) was successfully held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from September 21st to 24th, 2026. As a barometer of the Asian cable industry, the exhibition focuses on showcasing new technologies and market demands for specialized cables in underwater engineering, low altitude floating, and new energy automation. The Foreign Trade Express combines the on-site communication between a large number of exhibiting companies and overseas buyers to launch an industry science popularization interpretation, dismantling the current pain points of cable foreign trade, the characteristics of overseas market demand, and how digital tools can become the long-term core solution for cable manufacturers to go global. Many exhibiting companies such as Paide Cable have taken the lead in implementing online and offline linkage customer acquisition mode.
This exhibition's overseas procurement inquiries are highly concentrated on customized special cables. Unlike ordinary civilian wires, high-end industrial cables have strong professional attributes and are also a core growth point for foreign trade expansion. Popular popular product categories are as follows:
- Underwater zero buoyancy/ROV umbilical cable
Adopting foam TPU double-layer co extrusion and LCP high-strength weaving structure, with inherent neutral buoyancy, it is suitable for deep-sea exploration robots and underwater pipeline inspection equipment. Overseas engineering companies value seawater corrosion resistance, high water depth pressure resistance, and long-distance tensile performance in their procurement. The demand for marine engineering enterprises in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia has been increasing year by year.
- Special cable for tying balloons
Lightweight and low weight structure, balancing tensile strength and resistance to high and low temperatures, serving low altitude monitoring and security floating platforms. Customized orders from overseas military, police, and environmental monitoring agencies are abundant, with long procurement cycles and stable repeat purchases.
- High flexibility TPU drag chain cable
Repeatedly bending without cracking the skin, suitable for automation equipment and intelligent warehousing equipment, belongs to general industrial consumables, and small and medium-sized traders and equipment manufacturers have continuous and stable high-frequency small inquiries.
