CHINACOAT continues to be the leading show in the paint and coatings industry, and China remains a major market for paint, coatings and ink manufacturers and suppliers. Sinostar International, the show’s organizers, report further growth at this year's show in Guangzhou.
There was a total of 35,540 visitors at this year’s show. The total number of individual visitors increased 16.8 percent from 2017 and 34 percent from 2016. Furthermore, over 17,500 visitors from Day 1 revisited the show on Day 2. The total number of visitors attending technical programs was 3,497.
This year’s show had a record-breaking 1,290+ exhibitors from 31 countries/regions participating, showing an increase of seven percent and 21 percent compared to 2017 Shanghai and 2016 Guangzhou editions respectively. The total gross exhibition area of CHINACOAT2018 was more than 78,500 square meters, a rise of 21 percent against last 2016 Guangzhou show.
“It is also worth mentioning that the total net exhibition area and number of exhibitors of the ‘UV/EB Technology and Products exhibit zone this year has expanded by over 60 percent in comparison with 2017 Shanghai show,” said Raymond Ho, director, Sinostar International. “We reckon this is due to increasing stringent environmental regulations and growing demand from automotive and industrial end-users. During the three-day period we are also expecting a good number of industry visitors to turn up.”
Among the topics being addressed at the show are sustainability and green coatings.
