Since its launch in 2003, Asia Pharma Expo has grown into a trusted, proven platform for companies at every stage — whether expanding an existing client base, entering new markets, or launching for the very first time. With 54% international and 46% local exhibitors, it truly bridges global innovation with local industry.
The expo covers the full pharmaceutical manufacturing spectrum — from processing and packaging machinery, APIs, excipients and raw materials, to cleanroom systems, water treatment, contract manufacturing, and turnkey project solutions.

This growth mirrors Bangladesh’s own pharmaceutical rise — a sector that now exports medicines to 157 countries, meets 98% of domestic demand, and is rapidly targeting a significant share of the USD 440 billion global generics market.
APE is more than an exhibition. It is where Bangladesh’s pharmaceutical future is built.
