Why Exhibit at CaPhEx 2026?
Manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers – here's why you should join as an exhibitor at CaPhEx 2026:
Reach Six Markets via One Expo
Save time and cost by meeting clients from all Central Asian countries in one venue. The region's pharma industry is expanding fast (e.g., Kazakhstan's pharma sales topped 1,152.6 billion tenge in 2024) and local companies are actively seeking suppliers and partners to localize production.
High Demand, Untapped Opportunities
With local production covering only ~20% of demand in some countries, Central Asia remains largely untapped. Imported drugs dominate up to 80–90% of the market, signaling huge opportunities for machinery, raw materials, and expertise. Exhibiting at CaPhEx positions your company at the forefront as regional firms look to replace imports with local manufacturing.
Government & Buyer Engagement
Connect directly with qualified buyers and officials. Thanks to strong government endorsement, expect delegations from health ministries and state pharma programs eager to meet technology providers. The expo's B2B matchmaking program will pre-schedule meetings with regional manufacturers, distributors, and investors matching your profile – maximizing your lead generation and partnership opportunities.
Pan-Regional Brand Visibility
Establish your brand as a key player in Central Asia. With extensive media coverage and association partnerships, CaPhEx will highlight exhibitors through press releases, catalogs, and seminars. Being part of the inaugural edition also gives you first-mover advantage and extra visibility as a founding exhibitor in this annual series.
Why CaPhEx 2026?
What makes this expo a game-changer for Central Asia's pharmaceutical manufacturing industry:
Regional Market Access
Six Markets, One Event
Engage with all six Central Asian pharma markets in one event. CaPhEx offers unparalleled access to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan – a region collectively importing billions of USD in medicines annually.
First-of-Its-Kind Focus
Specialized Manufacturing Focus
Unlike general healthcare fairs (e.g., TIHE in Tashkent or KIHE in Almaty), CaPhEx exclusively focuses on pharma manufacturing technologies and supply chain. This specialized focus attracts a targeted audience interested in production machinery, formulations, and GMP compliance – not hospital beds or consumer health products.
Cross-Border Government Partnerships
Official Multi-Country Support
The expo will be supported by key government agencies and industry associations across Central Asia, ensuring high-profile attendance and trust. Official backing from multiple countries fosters regional cooperation on standards.
Investment Catalyst for Localization
Government-Led Initiatives
Central Asian governments are prioritizing local pharma production and GMP adoption. Uzbekistan has launched 104 pharmaceutical projects worth $1.25 billion through 2026 to boost domestic manufacturing.
Strategic Geographic Hub
Bridge Between Regions
Central Asia's location makes it a bridge between Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and South Asia. Exhibitors at CaPhEx gain a foothold in a strategic logistics and trade corridor.
Proven Organizer Expertise
