CHINACOAT2017 (the 22nd edition of the China International Exhibition for Coatings, Printing Inks and Adhesives) will be held November 15-17 at the Shanghai
New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) in Shanghai, China.
The show has been an annual meeting place for the industry to
gather and exchange ideas since 1996 and alternates its venue
city annually between Guangzhou and Shanghai.
According to the show’s organizers Sinostar, the China coatings market is fueled by strong economic growth, an emerging
middle class and rising population in the region, there is an increasing demand for residential projects, automotives and higher quality coatings and paint products. Increasing infrastructure
investment and shifting of global manufacturing to the region
further spur the sales of coatings.
Sinostar noted that China continues to be the largest coatings
market in the region, while India still offers significant potential
for market growth as its per capita consumption remains very
low. Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia
are experiencing rising incomes, improving standards of living
and increasing domestic demand, bolstering the market growth.
In light of China’s importance in the paint and coatings industry, the event will have a large number of global exhibitors
who will showcase their new products and novel technologies.
This annual three-day event offers global industry players a full range of exhibits for the
paint and coatings industry.
