New technology for industrial transformation at CHINAPLAS 2015

GUANGZHOU-NEXT year’s edition of CHINAPLAS 2015 (The 29th International Exhibition on Plastics & Rubber Industries) is scheduled to be held on 20 - 23 May 2015 at the China Import & Export Fair Complex, Pazhou, Guangzhou, PR China. The show is expected to occupy 230,000sqm exhibition area with 3,100 exhibitors.

The trade exhibition has taken an important role in China’s industrial transformation being the venue where advanced technologies and products are presented every year to local and international audience. The 12th Five-Year Plan of the Chinese government has identified the emerging industries of strategic importance such as high-tech equipment and products for energy conservation and automation, new materials, high-end equipment manufacturing etc, and these received government support.

This also means stimulating growth and demand of upgrade equipment in the plastics and rubber industries. In 2014, the estimated annual production capacity of plastic product is around 68.69 million tonnes, with estimated annual sales amount of up to $348.8 billion. The growth rates are 9.5% and 16.5% respectively. In addition to tremendous demand for high-end technology, industrialisation, urbanisation, market-orientation and internationalisation have further strengthened China’s role as the world’s leading producer and consumer of plastic and rubber products.

Southern China as hub for plastics and rubber production

Southern China has always been the hub for plastics and rubber industries. Up to the third quarter of 2013, the average export price of Guangdong’s plastic product was $3,125 per tonne, about 20.6% increase compared with 2012. The surge reflects the rising trend in high value-added production. At the same time, packaging, electrical and home appliances industries in Southern China are famous of high degree of internationalization and economies of scale. In view of the optimistic progress of the industry, the demand for quality machinery and raw materials should not be underestimated.

The 12th Five Year Plan also introduced directions for the development of the rubber industry, including new material development, low emission and recycling technology, enhancement and application of rubber composite, energy-saving and tire renewal technology, etc. The industry is expected to undergo transformation and technological improvement as planned. The show next year will be an exceptional promotion platform for cutting-edge innovations in plastics and rubber application and high-performance materials from all over the globe.

CHINAPLAS 2015 is going to exhibit the most ground-breaking plastics and rubber technologies, and will feature 14 country and region pavilions, including Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom and USA. The exhibition will definitely seal its special place as Asia’s no.1 and world’s  no. 2 international exhibition for plastics and rubber industries with 11 theme zones, 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.
