China will host the FDI World Dental Congress Shanghai 2025 (FDIWDC25) from September 9-12, 2025, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai. This global event will feature an extensive exhibition spanning 60,000 square meters, with over 700 international and Chinese exhibitors, and is expected to set new records in terms of scope and impact.
Following previous editions in San Francisco, Sydney, and Istanbul, the 2025 congress in China presents a unique opportunity for dental professionals to engage with cutting-edge technologies and innovations from local and international suppliers.
China: An Emerging Powerhouse in Oral Care
China’s dental industry has seen remarkable growth in recent years, making it a key player in the global healthcare landscape. By 2023, the scale of China’s oral care industry reached 49.15 billion yuan, driven by increasing consumer demand for premium products and services. Niche products such as mouthwash are gaining traction, reflecting a broader trend toward oral health investments.
Innovation and Demand in China’s Dental Market
China’s dental sector is rapidly expanding, bolstered by both public and private healthcare initiatives. Major dental hospitals across cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Chengdu, and Wuhan play a vital role in integrating diagnosis, treatment, research, and education. The private sector is also growing, with over 120,000 private dental clinics and hospitals, though this number still struggles to meet the rising demand for quality services and products.
Leading Chinese companies, such as Bondent, Upcera, and Zumax, are at the forefront of innovation in orthodontics, implants, dental digitalization, and prosthodontics. Their competitive pricing and high-quality offerings are receiving global recognition. Additionally, international brands like Straumann and Solventum are expanding into China, targeting regions beyond first-tier cities.

FDIWDC25 is set to bring together professionals from over 130 countries, offering a platform for Chinese companies to showcase their innovative products and expand their global reach. International companies will also introduce cutting-edge technologies, providing valuable learning opportunities for dental professionals across China.
The congress will feature over 100 CE-accredited academic sessions, led by 300 speakers from both international and domestic backgrounds. The exhibition area will showcase more than 700 exhibitors, offering attendees a comprehensive view of the latest innovations in oral health.
