Central Asia Pharma Expo launches in Tashkent

GPE Expo, a leading international organizer of pharmaceutical manufacturing exhibitions, announces the launch of CaPhEx 2026 – Central Asia Pharma Expo, the region’s first dedicated event focused exclusively on pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Scheduled for October 27-28, 2026 at the Anhor Park Exhibition Area in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the show will bring together global suppliers of machinery, APIs, packaging, laboratory equipment, and contract manufacturing services with pharmaceutical companies, investors, and regulators from across Central Asia.

CaPhEx 2026 addresses the growing need for a focused platform that connects technology providers with emerging pharma markets. Pharmaceutical sales in Central Asia are rising rapidly – Kazakhstan’s market alone reached 1,152.6 billion tenge in 2024 – yet local production still meets only 20 % of regional demand, leaving 80-90 % of the market dependent on imports. The event offers a single gateway to engage six fast-growing markets – Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan – through one unified platform.

Governments across the region are accelerating industrial growth and encouraging foreign investment. Uzbekistan alone is implementing 104 pharmaceutical projects worth US$ 1.25 billion through 2026 to strengthen domestic production. The country’s flagship Tashkent Pharma Park, valued at US$ 388 million, will provide advanced infrastructure for R&D and manufacturing, generating more than 3 000 jobs. Multiple Free Economic Zones (FEZs) and targeted policy incentives are helping to attract global machinery manufacturers, API suppliers, and contract partners.

Unlike broader healthcare fairs, CaPhEx 2026 is exclusively focused on pharma manufacturing technologies, contract production, and supply-chain innovation. Exhibitors will showcase:

  • Processing & packaging machinery
  • APIs, intermediates & excipients
  • Cleanroom & HVAC solutions
  • Quality-control, analytical & laboratory equipment
  • Turnkey plant consultants & project developers
  • Contract manufacturing & formulation services

Backed by over 25 years of exhibition experience, GPE Expo has successfully organized some of the most recognized pharmaceutical manufacturing events across emerging markets – including Asia Pharma Expo (Bangladesh), Arab Pharma Manufacturers’ Expo (Jordan), Nigeria Pharma Manufacturers’ Expo (Lagos), and East Africa Pharma Expo (Kenya).

Its proven expertise in connecting global technology providers with regional manufacturers ensures that CaPhEx 2026 will deliver both high-quality business leads and measurable ROI for exhibitors. CaPhEx 2026 will serve as a catalyst for partnerships, investment, and industrial modernization across the region.
