Shanghai, October 23, 2025 — Marking over two decades of industry leadership, R+T Asia is preparing for its 21st edition, which will gather the global sun shading and door industry from May 27–29, 2026, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai.

Building on the success of its previous edition, which attracted over 750 brands, the upcoming show is expected to maintain the same high level of participation. According to the organizers, R+T Asia 2026 will feature a strong mix of returning international leaders alongside new market entrants, who will be introduced through dedicated pre-show promotions across R+T Asia’s communication channels.

A Comprehensive Showcase of the Industry

Each edition of R+T Asia strengthens its position as the leading business and innovation platform for the sun shading, door, gate, and automation industries. Bringing together the entire value chain — from raw materials and components to advanced systems and automation technologies — the show offers an unparalleled environment for sourcing, partnership, and product discovery.

At the 2026 edition, visitors can expect a comprehensive showcase featuring components, fittings, technical textiles, fabrics, automation solutions, and premium finished products. Among the many exhibitors, leading Asian brands such as Yuma, MYT Shutters, YFA, Wintom, Raex, Zhejiang General Light Curtain, Zhejiang Xianfeng Machinery, and Zhejiang Joytech Electronics will present their latest innovations.

Exhibitors consistently highlight R+T Asia’s unique ability to gather a high concentration of quality, export-oriented buyers and provide access to a truly international audience. Companies such as A-OK* emphasize that the event’s comprehensive ecosystem — connecting suppliers, manufacturers, and technology providers — offers efficiency and exposure that are difficult to replicate elsewhere.

For global suppliers like Xidamen New Material*, the Shanghai event has become a key driver for international growth. The company reports that its participation in past editions led to valuable visibility and new partnerships across diverse markets, strengthening its position in the global sun shading supply chain.

Automation leader Dooya* also recognizes the show’s impact on international expansion. The company attributes part of its growing export network to the quality of professional visitors at R+T Asia, particularly from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The 2026 edition will once again allow Dooya to present its latest smart automation technologies to a forward-thinking professional audience.

Together, these perspectives underscore R+T Asia’s defining strength — its capacity to connect technology, innovation, and market demand within one dynamic, international platform.

Policy Momentum and Market Growth Reinforce R+T Asia’s Leadership

China’s building and home improvement industries are entering a new stage of growth, supported by government initiatives that stimulate consumer demand and promote energy-efficient upgrades. National programs such as the Consumer Goods Trade-in Plan and Green Building Materials to the Countryside campaign, combined with local incentives in cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou, are accelerating renovation projects and encouraging the adoption of sustainable building materials.

These policies are creating strong opportunities for manufacturers of sun-shading systems, doors, and intelligent façades, reinforcing China’s role as a vital sourcing hub in Asia. Reflecting this momentum, R+T Asia continues to serve as the leading large-scale event in the Asia-Pacific region for sun shading, roller shutters, doors, gates, and automation — connecting technology, innovation, and sustainability under one roof.

Each edition of R+T Asia sets new benchmarks in attendance and international engagement, demonstrating the event’s resilience and its ability to adapt to shifting market dynamics. The 2025 edition, held in May, hosted over 750 exhibitors and welcomed 55,200+ visitors from 115 countries — a 10% increase year-on-year. With this continued growth, R+T Asia 2026 reaffirms its position as the key meeting point for sourcing, innovation, and collaboration across the global sun shading and door sectors.
