The Value of Participating in Coatings Expo Vietnam

• Coatings Expo Vietnam is one of the largest and most influential annual events for the coatings and printing inks industries in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Since its inception in 2015, the exhibition has been co‑organized by the Chemical Industry Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the China Coatings Industry Association, together with the Vietnam Paint and Ink Association, providing a vital platform for global coatings companies seeking to enter the Vietnamese and ASEAN markets. Against the backdrop of Vietnam’s rapid economic growth, sustained investment in infrastructure, and robust demand in the coatings market, the event is widely recognized within the industry as a key gateway for international coatings firms expanding into Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
• A One‑Stop Showcase Covering the Entire Industry ChainThe exhibition encompasses the full spectrum of the coatings value chain, including coating raw materials (resins, pigments, fillers, solvents, additives, etc.), finished coatings (architectural coatings, industrial coatings, automotive coatings, wood coatings, powder coatings, etc.), ink products, coating production equipment (dispersers, grinders, mixers, filling machines, etc.), testing instruments, application equipment, and environmental protection technologies. From waterborne coatings to powder coatings, and from traditional solvent-based formulations to eco‑friendly alternatives, exhibitors can engage in comprehensive interactions—ranging from technology demonstrations and brand exposure to business negotiations—all under one roof.
• Precise Connections with Core Buyers and Industry Resources in Vietnam and Southeast AsiaThe 10th edition of the exhibition in 2025 marked a decade of milestone achievements, with record-breaking scale: it brought together400 exhibiting companies, occupying an exhibition space of12,000 square meters, and welcoming over8,000 professional visitors. More than2,000 B2B business meetingswere held during the event. The audience included coating manufacturers, raw material distributors, importers and exporters, construction firms, automotive manufacturers, furniture producers, ink suppliers, and other end‑users across the entire procurement ecosystem. The exhibition attracted professional buyers from 31 countries and regions, including purchasing decision‑makers from renowned multinational corporations such as AkzoNobel, Nippon Paint, PPG, Asian Paints, KOVA Group, and Clover Group. Exhibitors thus gained direct access to some of the most influential and well‑connected buyer segments in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

A Unique Value Proposition for Chinese Enterprises—The Strategic Engine for Expanding into the Southeast Asian Coatings Market. Vietnam’s coatings market is growing at an annual rate of approximately 10%, making it one of the most dynamic coatings markets in Southeast Asia. China is a major supplier of raw materials and equipment to Vietnam’s coatings industry. The China National Coatings Industry Association has established a long-term partnership with the exhibition, and in 2024, for the first time, co-hosted the event, organizing more than 30 Chinese upstream and downstream coating companies to participate as a national pavilion. In 2025, the number of Chinese exhibitors continued to grow, with leading industry players such as Suzhou Shinem Technology, Yibin Tianyuan Materials Group, Jiangsu Tianyin Chemical, Shandong Benteng Paints, Guangxi Wuzhou Longyu Paints, Hunan Sanhuan Pigments, Guangzhou Wuyang Paints, and Zhejiang Yuhong New Materials all showcasing their offerings. Through this platform, Chinese enterprises can connect with Vietnamese and Southeast Asian buyers, demonstrate their proprietary technologies, and secure overseas orders.

A Vanguard for Technological Innovation and Industry Trends. At the show, green coating technologies—including waterborne coatings, low-VOC coatings, powder coatings, bio-based raw materials, solvent-free technologies, and environmentally friendly solutions—have emerged as key highlights. Aligned with global net-zero emissions goals and the coatings industry’s shift toward green chemistry, exhibitors can gain timely access to critical insights on technological advancements, environmental regulations, and market trends.

A Rich Array of Concurrent Events Facilitating In-Depth Industry Exchange. Alongside the exhibition, specialized seminars such as the “Vietnam Specialized Coatings and Printing Ink Forum” are held, covering core topics including updates to coating standards, transitions to green production, selection of bio‑based biocides, and emerging industry trends. Additionally, the China National Coatings Industry Association has organized business visits to Vietnamese facilities operated by PPG, Matsui, Zhanchen, Junzilán, and other local manufacturers, helping Chinese companies gain a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s investment climate and market access requirements.

Ho Chi Minh City’s Geographical Location and Industrial Advantages. The exhibition is hosted at the Saigon Exhibition & Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, situated at the heart of Vietnam’s economic hub. As Vietnam’s largest port city and its primary industrial and commercial center, Ho Chi Minh City serves as a gateway to both the domestic market and the broader Southeast Asian region. The event is held concurrently with the “Vietnam International Chemical Exhibition,” the “Vietnam International Adhesives and Tapes Exhibition,” and the “Vietnam International Rubber and Tire Exhibition,” creating a synergistic effect that further expands the exhibition’s supply chain coverage. Leveraging Vietnam’s strategic position as a core ASEAN member and a signatory to major free trade agreements such as CPTPP and RCEP, Coatings Expo Vietnam provides exhibitors with a premier platform to engage with Vietnamese and Southeast Asian markets.
