CHINAPLAS 2014 is Red Hot in Shanghai Again

CHINAPLAS 2014 (The 28th International Exhibition on Plastics & Rubber Industries) will be held from 23 to 26 April, 2014 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, PR China. The exhibition area is expected to exceed 220,000 sqm, with more than 2,900 exhibitors and 120,000 visitors coming from 130 countries and regions. In addition to the new record-breaking show scale, the new trends in tradeshow exhibits and the wide range of applications are also under the spotlight.

China's Industrial Structure Upgrade – The Show Will Become High-tech-oriented
In the 1st quarter of 2013, China exported 2.696 million tons of plastic products, which worth US$10.2 billion, representing a 6.6% growth in quantity and 31.2% growth in product value compared with the 1st quarter in 2012. The figures indicate that China is steadily replacing older industrial models with higher value offerings. Actually, China is now undergoing industrialization, urbanization, market-orientation and internationalization. At this critical moment, the 12th Five-Year Plan has pointed out the direction for the plastics and rubber industries, including low pollution, low energy consumption, high value-adding and high technology. The plastics and rubber machinery and raw materials are closely related to China's strategic emerging industries (SEIs). Hence the derived demand for cutting-edge plastics and rubber technology is strong. With the efforts invested in exploring new markets and the enormous local market demand, a steady increase in demand for quality plastic and rubber solutions are expected in China.

Eastern China is one of the leading regions of economic and industrial development, as well as production and development center of chemical raw materials. In 2012, around 25 million tons of plastic products were manufactured in this region, accounting for 44% of the country's production capacity. With well-equipped infrastructure and strong industrial cluster effect, Eastern China has become an appealing market for renowned multinational corporations. CHINAPLAS 2014 will showcase high tech solutions around the world in Shanghai.

Asia's No.1 Tradeshow Keeping Its Pace with the Market Trends
The Chinese government will invest 400 billion yuen annually to improve the water infrastructure during the 12th Five Year Plan. Besides, China's urbanization is likely to create robust domestic demand for plastic tubes and building materials. Extrusion machinery, injection machinery and moulds related to the production of plastic construction materials will also benefit from the policy. In the meantime, the prevailing trends of energy-saving, low emission technology and replacing steel with plastics have paved the way for new energy vehicles and optimization of plastic parts. The sales volume of automotive is estimated to have 13% increases in 2013, while the annual growth rate will go further to achieve 20% in the golden years of 2014 and 2015.

Moreover, the 12th Five Year Plan has raised the strategic importance of renewable energy, while solar technology becomes increasingly popular. Actually, the environmentally-friendly policy has also accelerated the development of rubber recycling industry. In addition, the Chinese government also encourages the involvement of high-end technology in medical industry. The policy sets the target of developing 50-80 medical devices in sanitation, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and first-aid sectors, with the focus on basic equipment and medical materials which are huge in demand, widely applied and highly dependent on import of foremost equipment and pharmaceutical materials. The policy sets the wheels for medical plastic technology to reach a new era.

CHINAPLAS 2014 is going to exhibit the most ground-breaking plastics and rubber technologies and a wide array of raw materials to be in line with the government policies and the latest trend. Accompanied by 14 country and region pavilions, including Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom and the USA, CHINAPLAS will continue to be Asia's No.1 platform for plastics and rubber industry to connect with potential buyers and exchange market news.

There will be 11 theme zones in the show next year, namely Extrusion Machinery Zone, Injection Molding Machinery Zone, Chemicals & Raw Materials Zone, Auxiliary & Testing Equipment Zone, Die & Mould Zone, Film Technology Zone, Plastic Packaging & Blow Molding Machinery Zone, Rubber Machinery & Equipment Zone, Chinese Export Machinery & Materials Hall, Bioplastics Zone and Semi-finished Products Zone. Exhibitors can demonstrate their various solutions through this unparalleled platform. Many exhibitors are fully confident in CHINAPLAS 2014 and have submitted their booth reservation. As a resourceful partner, CHINAPLAS 2014 will work with exhibitors for achieving their promotion targets and to maximize their exposure in the China market.

CHINAPLAS 2014 is organized by Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. and co-organized by China National Light Industry Council - China Plastics Processing Industry Association, China Plastics Machinery Industry Association, Messe Düesseldorf China Ltd., the Plastic Trade Association of Shanghai and Beijing Yazhan Exhibition Services Ltd. The event is also supported by various plastics and rubber associations in China and abroad. First introduced in 1983, CHINAPLAS is China's only plastics and rubber trade show approved by UFI (The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry). CHINAPLAS has been exclusively sponsored by the Europe's Association for Plastics and Rubber Machinery Manufacturers (EUROMAP) in China for the 25th time. CHINAPLAS is currently Asia's No. 1 and the world's No. 2 plastics and rubber trade fair.
