CPHI Europe 2027
About CPHI Europe (formerly CPhI Worldwide)
CPHI Europe (formerly CPhI Worldwide) is Informa Markets' pharmaceutical ingredients and supply-chain trade show, bringing together suppliers, manufacturers and service providers with exhibitions, conferences and networking across the pharma value chain. The show rotates between European cities and is branded by host city — CPHI Milan, 6–8 October 2026, at Fiera Milano.
CPHI Frankfurt 2027
CPHI Frankfurt 2027 runs 9–11 November 2027 at Messe Frankfurt in Frankfurt, Germany. It is the European CPHI show, which Informa Markets moves between cities: the 2026 show was CPHI Milan at Fiera Milano in October.
What it is
CPHI is Informa Markets' pharmaceutical supply-chain event, billed by the organizer as "A global community advancing human health". Informa says it has organised CPHI Europe for more than 35 years. The show floor is divided into exhibitor zones covering pharma's supply chain; the established zones are:
- APIs
- Bioproduction
- Contract Manufacturing & Services
- CRO
- Excipients & Fine Chemicals
- Finished Dosage Formulation
- Integrated pharma
- Machinery & Equipment
- Natural Extracts
- Packaging & Drug Delivery
New for 2027
The organizer is adding seven zones in Frankfurt — AI & Tech, Cold chain & Logistics, Contamination Control, Cosmeceuticals, Lab & Analytical Equipment, Labelling, and Nutraceuticals — for 17 exhibitor zones in all. Exhibitors choose between shell stands, Modular Stand Design (MSD) stands and a Basic Package (formerly space only), and first-time exhibitors can join New Exhibitor Pavilions. An interactive floorplan for 2027 is already open.
Around the show floor
The CPHI site lists a Sustainability Summit and a Leadership Summit alongside the exhibition, along with a Start-up Market. Informa also runs CPHI events in China, India, Japan, Korea, the Middle East, the Americas and South East Asia, and the separate Pharmapack Europe show.
