China continues to be a crucial engine driving worldwide economic growth. CHINAPLAS 2025 will be held at Shenzhen, a major city of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area from April 15-18, 2025. The exhibition has developed a strong appeal among global buyers and the return of CHINAPLAS to Shenzhen is going to involve both local and overseas markets. The show organizer will make every effort to expand the global buyer base, enhancing its appeal and improving global collaboration.
The last edition of CHINAPLAS attracted 321,879 attendees from 171 countries and regions, including a record-breaking 73,204 overseas visitors, comprising 22.74% of the total number of visitors, showcasing its remarkable global appeal. What makes this mega event such a magnet for global buyers? Ada Leung, General Manager of Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. unveiled the secret: “firstly, CHINAPLAS has been deeply rooted in the plastics and rubber industries for over 40 years, establishing a strong brand influence both domestically and internationally. As the show’s scale expands, it generates significant traffic and amplifies its platform effect. Secondly, the exhibition is highly technology-driven, aiming to foster industry development with innovation. Our high-quality exhibitors stay ahead of industry trends, showcasing cutting-edge plastics and rubber technologies, which attract buyers from around the world. Furthermore, CHINAPLAS has continuously expanded its international reach. We have established long-term cooperation with local and overseas trade associations, building an extensive network of buyer resources and greatly exploring user needs”.
CHINAPLAS 2025 will join hands with over 4,000 international exhibitors, unveiling the “New Productive Forces” of the plastics and rubber industries. This will not only showcase China’s robust capabilities in plastics and rubber technology but also enhance the exhibition’s appeal to global buyers.
Stepping further towards internationalization
The global buyer appeal is not only driven by cutting-edge technology, but also by strong connections between exhibitions and buyers, along with effective global collaboration strategies. By fostering expansive global and multi-channel collaborations, CHINAPLAS has been integrating platform resources and channels to further attract professional buyers on a global scale. Its outreach extended to Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Poland, Pakistan, the United States, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Taiwan region, actively engaging in industrial networking events. CHINAPLAS has forged partnerships with local industry associations to recruit delegations and invite key enterprises, facilitating sourcing opportunities and technological exchanges at the exhibition. As of now, around 40 industry associations from 14 countries and regions have expressed their interest in organizing delegations to CHINAPLAS 2025. Targeting high-growth and high-potential markets like Southeast Asia, Türkiye, and Mexico, the exhibition made a full-force effort with intensive online and offline promotion. Moreover, through the exhibition’s O2O strategic partner, CPS+ eMarketplace, CHINAPLAS team continuously stays in tune with buyer needs worldwide, engaging year-round to attract buyers and converting online interest into physical visitors of the exhibition.
In the journey of Chinese enterprises venturing into overseas markets, innovation and technology play a crucial role. Chinese plastics and rubber materials and equipment, renowned for their exceptional cost-effectiveness and cutting-edge technological applications, empower global businesses to elevate product quality, value, and competitiveness on the international stage. CHINAPLAS 2025 will serve as a valuable platform for connecting upstream suppliers with buyers who are seeking innovative plastics and rubber technology solutions, assisting companies to explore new growth opportunities.
Tap into domestic demand and seize opportunities in potential markets
In China, the “old-for-new” trade policy is set to be strengthened, potentially catalyzing for heightened demand. On July 24, 2024, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance issued the “Several Measures for Providing Greater Support for Large-scale Equipment Renewals and Consumer Goods Trade-ins”. This initiative covers a wide range of trade-in products, including automobiles, electric bicycles, refrigerators, air conditioners, computers, smartphones, tablets, drones, and more. The policy ‘s impact is gradually taking shape, injecting new vitality into the market and creating opportunities for new products and technologies.
Product iteration is accelerating, marked by the integration of AI technology into home appliances and consumer electronics. The sophistication of new energy vehicles continues to rise, a significant growth is also visible in the expanding low-altitude economy, rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, and the flourishing pet economy. These dynamics collectively are driving demand for advanced materials and production equipment from upstream industries.
CHINAPLAS 2025, themed “Transformation • Collaboration • Sustainability”, will spotlight high-end, intelligent, and green innovations, showcasing a range of advanced and cost-effective materials and machinery technologies, such as carbon fiber composites for the low-altitude economy, photovoltaic films, high-performance films, food-grade rPET, UV-resistant functional fabrics, lightweight and electrification solutions, digitalized smart manufacturing solutions, etc. Additionally, the mega show will invite buyers from end-user industries like the low-altitude economy, electronics and electric, and new energy vehicles to participate in concurrent thematic events, joining forces to drive industry transformation, upgrades, and efficiency.
