2. Asia Pacific region remains as the leading consumer of coatings and sees the most rapid gains

• Growth of coatings demand is expected to continue at 8% per year in China, 11% in India and 4-5% in Indonesia. Other growing markets include Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia.
• Despite the slowdown of the Chinese economy, the China's coatings market is still growing rapidly compared with mature markets and continues to project long-term growth prospects.
• 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, the low per capita consumption of coatings in the region, etc. It is advantageous for enterprises to gain more presence there through exhibitions.

3. The Pearl River Delta (PRD) region has great strategic importance for business promotion

• 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. Its automobile, shipbuilding, electrical machinery, building materials and construction industries also gain competitive advantage over other regions.
• The "Made in China (2025)" plan released in 2024 has pinpointed 10 key manufacturing industries for further upgrading and development. Among them, IT, marine & shipping equipment, rail transportation, automotive, advanced materials and medical device industries are closely related to the coatings industry, and the PRD region is the clusters and development zone for them, thus opening up new opportunities for exhibitors.
• The PRD region has become the world's largest urban area in both size and population. Urbanization will bring increased coatings consumption that will in turn contribute to the sustainable growth of the industry.

4. China's coatings industry is undergoing rapid changes – opportunities to differentiate your business by exhibiting
