The industry players' gateway to gain market share
SFCHINA is a cost-effective way to reach China and the Asia Pacific region. Asia Pacific is expected to witness swift market growth due to increased levels of income and education, increasing urbanization and infrastructural development, rise in manufacturing activities, etc. The recent Chinese industrial policy encourages the development of high-tech manufacturing, environmental protection and energy saving. Its downstream industries such as automotive, transportation, construction, machinery, household appliances, shipbuilding and aerospace have been developing towards the direction and providing the path forward for the finishing industry. It is advantageous for enterprises to gain more presence there through exhibitions.
The Pearl River Delta (PRD) region has great strategic importance for business development
The PRD region is the world's leading manufacturing and export base. The key cities in this region have developed their own specialized industries and manufacturing clusters, such as household electrical appliances, electronic communications, furniture, lighting, watches, bicycles, etc. Moreover, the PRD region has become the world's largest urban area in both size and population. Urban expansion will bring increased demand for finishing products and technologies that will contribute to the sustainable growth of the industry.
As in the past, CHINACOAT2016 (the 21st China International Exhibition for Coatings, Printing Inks and Adhesives) will be held concurrently with SFCHINA2016 with over 67,000 sqm of gross exhibit space. The simultaneous holding of SFCHINA and CHINACOAT is welcomed by visitors as they are able to view a wider range of exhibits.
