Reasons to Attend the China International Coatings Expo:

• A Global Flagship Platform for the Coatings Industry: Officially organized by the China National Coatings Industry Association, this event has been held annually since 1995, marking 30 years of continuous success. It ranks among the world’s most prominent coatings expos and is the largest specialized trade show covering the entire coatings value chain. With an exhibition space exceeding 100,000 square meters, more than 500 exhibitors, and over 100,000 professional visitors, it has been included in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s “Key List of Internationally Renowned Industrial Trade Shows for Priority Development.”
• Comprehensive Coverage of the Entire Value Chain: Exhibits span finished coatings, raw materials, intelligent equipment, eco-friendly painting systems, surface treatment technologies, R&D collaborations, and chemical industrial parks—covering every segment of the value chain. From environmentally friendly coatings to high-performance industrial paints, from smart painting machinery to cutting-edge surface treatment techniques, and from waterborne and powder coatings to graphene-based anti-corrosion and temperature-regulating materials, the expo precisely meets procurement needs across sectors including construction, engineering machinery, shipbuilding, automotive, and new energy.
• A Strategic Window for National Policies and Incentives: Under the guidance of the “Dual Carbon” goals, the expo places particular emphasis on green transformation and technology empowerment. China’s coatings industry has maintained the top position globally in both production and sales for 16 consecutive years, achieving a fully diversified and clustered development pattern. The expo serves as a strategic platform for gaining insights into industry policy directions, seizing opportunities presented by green transformation, and securing a leading edge in high-quality growth.
• A Hub for Launching Cutting-Edge Technologies: The expo provides a concentrated venue for unveiling new products, technologies, and solutions. Industry leaders such as Sanqishu, Wanhua Chemical, Ashland, and Lingwei Technology showcase groundbreaking innovations, including graphene-based anti-corrosion coatings, flexible HDI curing agents, water-based defoamers, and ultra-transparent matte powders. Simultaneously, AI-driven R&D systems, smart manufacturing and digital management solutions, and blockchain-enabled full-lifecycle traceability technologies are also unveiled.
• A Global Resource Networking Hub: The expo brings together leading domestic and international coating manufacturers and raw-material suppliers, including Sanqishu, North New Building Materials, PPG, Longbai Group, Badifu, and Sanmu Group. Delegations from the World Coatings Council, the Asian Coatings Industry Council, and coating associations from 12 countries and regions attend to explore collaboration opportunities. Concurrently, the “International Forum on Coatings Industry Development and Innovation” offers in-depth insights into global market trends and innovation pathways.
• Over 30 High-Level Forums Empowering Industry Leaders: During the expo, 20 to 30 specialized forums are held, addressing hot topics such as international coatings, architectural coatings, engineering machinery coatings, marine coatings, artistic coatings, smart manufacturing, and powder coatings. The Global Coatings Summit invites companies like BASF and PPG to present their latest technical white papers, while R&D–industry matchmaking events bring together more than 20 universities and research institutes, showcasing over 100 patented technologies.
• Deep Integration of Industry, Academia, Research, and Application: Twenty renowned universities and research institutions—including Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Tongji University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University—set up dedicated exhibition zones, presenting advanced research findings and pioneering new scenarios for deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application, thereby driving technological progress across the sector.
• Skills Competitions Empowering Talent: The 16th National Petroleum and Chemical Industry Skills Competition, alongside the 5th National Artistic Coatings Application Skills Competition finals, provide a national-level professional stage for painters and coating applicators, fostering a seamless integration between technical excellence and industry demand.
