Why it matters

CPSE is the single largest procurement and business-development gateway into China's public-safety and smart-city supply chain, drawing 150,000+ professional buyers from 110+ countries and connecting global security manufacturers with Chinese municipal authorities and systems integrators. For dual-use technology suppliers — particularly in AI, UAS, edge computing, and ISR — it provides unmatched visibility into Chinese government procurement priorities and competitive intelligence on domestic champions. Western and allied-nation defence SMEs and primes should monitor CPSE closely as a leading indicator of PRC security-technology export pipelines and capability development.

About

The China Public Security Expo (CPSE), now in its 20th edition, is the world's largest security industry trade exhibition, held biennially at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center. Founded in 1989 and approved by China's Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Science and Technology, and Ministry of Commerce, it spans over 110,000 sqm across nine specialised halls. The 2025 edition carries the theme 'Digital Drive, Intelligent Future,' showcasing AI-powered surveillance, IoT sensing, access control, low-altitude economy platforms (drones/UAS), smart city infrastructure, and police equipment.

Moderate pricingmedium confidence

CPSE 2025 (20th edition) confirmed 1,100+ exhibitors across 110,000 sqm with 150,000+ expected professional visitors. Notably, dominant incumbents Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, and Huawei did not exhibit at the show floor, instead hosting private invitation-only events nearby — reflecting a broader industry shift toward solution-led, relationship-driven engagement over mass-market booth presence. The visitor base was approximately 90% domestic Chinese, with international attendance skewing toward Southeast Asia, India, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

Security Exhibition & Conference

Sydney / Australia

As the premier security marketplace in the Asia-Pacific region, this event is the primary venue for global security suppliers to launch products into the Australian market and engage directly with integrators, consultants, government buyers, and critical-infrastructure end users. The co-location with Integrate and Fire Security Expo expands the addressable buyer pool to ~14,500 professionals across converging physical, cyber, fire, and AV sectors. For SMEs and startups, it is the most cost-efficient route to the Australian security procurement community, with free visitor registration and a sold-out floor plan signalling strong buyer intent.

China (Xi'an) Advanced Manufacturing and Digital Industry Expo & Defense Science and Technology Industry Expo

Xi'an / China

Xi'an hosts China's densest concentration of state-owned defense primes and research institutes, making this expo one of the few accessible venues in western China where suppliers can engage directly with aerospace, ordnance, and defense-electronics procurement chains. For SMEs and dual-use technology firms, the military-civil integration forums and project roadshow sessions provide structured pathways into PLA and state-enterprise supply chains. The event's scale — targeting 50,000+ professional visitors and 1,500+ exhibitors — and its government guidance from provincial defense-industry authorities signal genuine procurement and partnership intent rather than a purely promotional showcase.
