CPHI Middle East 2026
About the event
CPHI Middle East returns to Riyadh from 14 to 16 December 2026 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre in Malham, opening from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM on its first two days and from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on the third.
It is the region's pharmaceutical industry gathering, bringing manufacturers and suppliers together across the full pharma supply chain: machinery and equipment, finished dosage, packaging and drug delivery, contract services, APIs and excipients, bioprocessing and manufacturing, natural extracts and fine chemicals, alongside a dedicated nutraceuticals section. The organiser expects 60,000 visitors and more than 1,000 exhibiting brands from over 110 countries, with a conference programme running across two theatres. It targets manufacturers, suppliers, regulators, healthcare leaders, biotechnology companies and investors.
Entry is free with advance registration. It is a trade event, and no one under 18 is admitted except infants in arms accompanied by an adult. BIO Middle East runs alongside it on the same dates, and the show is accompanied by a pre-scheduled business meetings programme, a start-up market, and sessions accredited for continuing medical education credits.
