As the global in vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry advances toward greater technological sophistication, intelligent automation, and broader clinical applications, the focus of innovation is shifting upstream. Beyond the development of cutting-edge instruments and assays, increasing attention is being placed on the foundational elements that enable performance and reliability—namely critical raw materials, core components, and robust standards systems. Breakthroughs in advanced materials, precision-engineered components, and cross-disciplinary integration are becoming central drivers of sustainable industry growth.

With less than one month remaining before its official opening, the 23rd China International In Vitro Diagnostics by CACLP, together with a series of academic conferences, industry forums, and business meetings, has entered its final countdown stage.

As the global in vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry undergoes rapid technological evolution and market restructuring, overseas expansion has become a key growth pathway for Chinese IVD companies.

To unlock the new growth momentum for the IVD industry and extend its value boundaries, CACLP 2026 will, for the first time, introduce the At-Home Testing Pavilion, taking place from 21–23 March 2026 in Hall 5, Xiamen International Expo Center.

CACLP 2026 will debut the Medical Research Pavilion as a dedicated platform designed to bridge scientific research with clinical practice within the healthcare system.

Visitor registration for the 23rd China International In Vitro Diagnostic Expo by CACLP is now officially open.

As part of promotional activities leading up to CACLP 2026, a series of activities took place successfully in Xiamen last week. Among them, the Xiamen Forum on Empowering the In Vitro Diagnostics Industry and Exploring New Models of Collaboration was held on 21 November 2025.

A delegation from the China Association of In Vitro Diagnostics (CAIVD), the China Professional Community of Experimental Medicine (CPCEM), and CACLP visited Incheon for a four-day industry and academic exchange program.

Following its announcement to return to Xiamen in 2026, CACLP has received overwhelming enthusiasm from exhibitors worldwide. As of October 2025, more than 1,000 companies have confirmed their participation for next year’s event, reaffirming CACLP’s role as the world‘s largest IVD event and an important annual gathering of the global diagnostic community.

The 23rd China International In Vitro Diagnostic Expo by CACLP and its concurrent activities will return from 21–23 March 2026, at the Xiamen International Expo Center in Fujian Province, China.

On June 4 2025, Elsevier officially released the 2024 CiteScore, a key metric used to assess the impact of academic journals. VIEW, jointly sponsored by China Professional Community of Experimental Medicine (CPCEM) and published by John Wiley & Sons, achieved a CiteScore of 14.5 for 2024.

From 18-22 May 2025, Brussels, Belgium, hosted the 26th IFCC-EFLM EUROMEDLAB Congress of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine and the 49th Annual Meeting of the Royal Belgian Society of Laboratory Medicine.
