Expo Preview

From Nov. 23-25 the Shanghai New International Expo Centre will host
CHINACOAT2011, the main attraction for companies looking to capitalize on
China’s growing market for coatings.
by Tim Wright, Editor
Since its inception in 1996, CHINACOAT has become the key event for coatings, printing inks and adhesives suppli- ers who wish to enter, expand and consolidate their positions in the Chinese market. In terms of exhibit size, number of
exhibitors and visitors, CHINACOAT is now one of the largest
coatings shows held in the world today and is organized by Hong
Kong-based Sinostar International Ltd.
The total production of China’s coatings industry in 2010 ac-
counted for 20 percent of the global market, according to Sinos-
tar. This finding represents a challenge and opportunity not only
for China’s domestic industry but also for the rest of the world
seeking to expand their business, the show organizer said. As the
market expands, China’s coatings technology will continue to
grow by replacing conventional materials and by expanding into
new areas of activity and innovative applications.
