As the economy continues to rebound, the exhi- bition industry, which is regarded as an economic barometer, is experiencing a strong recovery. Following its impressive performance in 2023, CHINAPLAS 2024 will be held from April 23 - 26, 2024 , oc- cupying all 15 exhibition halls of the Na- tional Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Hongqiao, Shanghai , PR China , with a total exhibition area of over 380,000 sqm. It is ready to receive more than 4,000 exhibitors from around the world. The market trends of decarbonization and high-value utilization are unlocking the golden opportunities for the high- quality development of the plastics and rubber industries. As Asia’s no. 1 plastics and rubber trade fair, CHINAPLAS will spare no efforts to promote the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the industry. The exhibition is making a strong comeback to Shanghai after a six-year ab- sence, upholding the anticipation within the plastics and rubber industries for this reunion in Eastern China. The industrial sector is the cornerstone of the macro-economy and the frontline for stable growth. Starting from June 2, 2023, the Regional Comprehensive Eco- nomic Partnership (RCEP) officially took effect in the Philippines, remarking the full implementation of RCEP among all 15 signatories. This agreement allows for the sharing of economic development bene- fits and reinforcing the growth of global trade and investment. For most RCEP members, China is their largest trading partner. In the first half of 2023, the total import and export volume between China and other RCEP members reached RMB 6.1 trillion (USD 8,350 billion), con- tributing over 20% to China's internatio- nal trade growth. In addition, as the "Belt and Road Initiative" celebrates its 10th anniversary, there is a pressing demand for infrastructure and manufacturing in- dustry, and the market potential along the Belt and Road routes is poised for de- velopment. The global buyer team of the show or- ganizer has received positive feedback during their visits to overseas markets. A number of business associations and companies from various countries and re- gions have expressed their anticipation and support for CHINAPLAS 2024, and have started organizing delegations to join this annual mega event. Seizing New Opportunities in China’s Market : Besides the rebound of foreign trade performance, domestic demand is also seeing a strong recovery. In recent years, China's manufacturing industry has been striving for high-quality develop- ment, high value-added and smart ma- nufacturing. Among them, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in China, in collaboration with relevant de- partments, has released robust growth plans for ten key industries, including chemicals, building materials, automobi- les, light industry, and electronic informa- tion manufacturing industry etc. It impe- ratively promotes the application of inno- vative products such as new energy vehicles, smart home appliances, green building materials in rural areas, high-end medical equipment, and robotics. Shanghai, holding for CHINAPLAS 2024, has released a three year (2023-2025) ac- tion plan to promote the high quality de- velopment of the city’s manufacturing industries, and strengthen of the manu- facturing industry's role in supporting the overall economic development of the city, accounting for over one-fourth of the re- gional GDP. The industrial transformation is accelera- ting, and new impetus is becoming more prominent. "This year, during our com- munications with plastics and rubber sup- pliers, we evidently felt that both overseas and local companies have vast confidence in the Chinese market and are very opti- mistic about exploring business opportu- nities in China,” said Ada Leung, General Manager of Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd., the organizer of CHINAPLAS. Time to Show-off Innovative Products and Technologies to the World : The immense demand of exhibition booths in CHINAPLAS 2024 shows that the confi- dence of the plastics and rubber indus- tries has recovered just like the economy does. "Reserving booths, showcasing ca- pabilities, capturing business opportuni- ties, and building brand awareness" have become the must-do list of exhibitors to demonstrate their strengths in the post pandemic era.
