In 2023, the doors of mainland China will reopen, and the internal and external circulation will accelerate, revealing that China has opportunities everywhere. With the comprehensive restoration of normal economic and social operations, data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China shows that the economic growth reached 5.2% in 2023. Under the economic recovery, the fields of automobiles, consumer electronics, and e-commerce have developed particularly rapidly, regaining their growth momentum. At the same time, China's manufacturing industry is upgrading and transforming from traditional "Made in China" to "Created in China", actively innovating, and significantly enhancing the competitive advantage of enterprises in the global market.

As a platform for the rubber industry to release forward-looking market trends, breakthrough technologies, and innovative solutions, CHINAPLAS 2024 International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition will strongly return to the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center from April 23-26, 2024. The exhibition has built a high-quality bridge for upstream suppliers and buyers seeking innovative rubber and plastic technology solutions, helping the industry accelerate its transformation and injecting new advantages and impetus into the high-quality development of the industry.

China's Rapid Response to Industrial Transformation

The new generation of information technology, new energy, biological manufacturing, commercial aerospace, low altitude economy and other emerging fields are accelerating their development in China. Photovoltaics, lithium-ion batteries, and electric vehicles, known as the "new three types" of foreign trade, have particularly impressive export performance. In recent years, China's high-tech industry has flourished and achieved breakthroughs. In 2023, the total installed capacity of renewable energy reached 1.45 billion kilowatts, historically surpassing thermal power. Among them, the installed capacity of wind power is about 440 million kilowatts, ranking first in the world for 13 consecutive years, while the installed capacity of solar power is about 610 million kilowatts, ranking first in the world for 8 consecutive years. The production and sales of new energy vehicles have been leading the world for 8 consecutive years. In addition, China's first domestically produced large passenger aircraft C919 and the large cruise ship "Aida Modu" have both been put into commercial operation.

These impressive developments foreshadow a bright future for the Chinese rubber and plastic market, giving rise to a huge demand for high-performance plastic materials and high-tech in China. This transformation highlights the importance of circular economy, digitization, and "Chinese creation". As a leading rubber exhibition in Asia, CHINAPLAS 2024 will collaborate with over 4000 high-quality exhibitors worldwide in 15 exhibition halls at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center, showcasing over 380000 square meters of cutting-edge intelligence in the rubber industry to buyers. By showcasing a series of advanced and cost-effective innovative materials and mechanical technologies, we aim to promote the growth and development of various application industries.

The CHINAPLAS 2024 International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition continues to support the growth and development of the rubber and plastics industry.

Focusing on circular economy to promote sustainable development

Circular economy has become an important strategy for addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainable development globally. In the past, the rubber and plastic industry was considered to generate a large amount of waste and cause environmental impacts, but today the rubber and plastic industry is also contributing to the circular economy by improving resource efficiency, reducing waste, and promoting sustainable development through transformation solutions such as recycling and reuse. The circular economy encourages the adoption of innovative technologies for plastic recycling, producing high-quality recycled plastics, creating a "closed-loop" system, maximizing the value of waste, and creating a sustainable and circular future.

Promoting the concept and model of circular economy is internationally recognized as an urgent task and an important pillar of China's economic development strategy to achieve sustainable development. Several globally renowned companies have pledged to promote plastic recycling and recycling. In recent years, the rubber and plastic industry has been striving to promote the transformation of circular economy, and raw material and machinery suppliers have continuously launched new technologies for biodegradable materials, recycling and recycling, and environmental protection solutions. In order to adapt to the trend of circular economy and meet the needs of the industry, "CHINAPLAS 2024 International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition" has established three related theme zones, including "Recycled Plastics Zone", "Bioplastics Zone", and "Recycling and Recycling Technology Zone". Multiple raw material and machinery suppliers including Veolia, Faurecia, Eurogreen, Guanghua Weiye, NatureWorks, Elema, Stellinger, NGR, Snapma, Xierke, Evian, Taolang, Jinwei, etc. will showcase new environmentally friendly plastic materials and processing technologies to help businesses find comprehensive sustainable solutions. The 5th Forum and Exhibition on Plastic Recycling, Recycling, and Circular Economy will be held in Shanghai on April 22nd. Global industry experts will gather to discuss new plastic recycling trends and share their insights on the circular economy.

Unleash digital potential and unlock more possibilities

Digitization plays an important role in industry transformation, unlocking the infinite possibilities of the digital age. Introducing intelligent manufacturing can bring many advantages to enterprises, including improving operational efficiency, improving product quality, and innovating supply chain management. From intelligent manufacturing and automation to data analysis and IoT integration, digitization enables real-time monitoring, data-based decision-making, and predictive maintenance, and promotes the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies such as additive manufacturing and robotics. By fully leveraging the power of digitalization, the rubber and plastic industry can optimize production processes, reduce waste, respond quickly to market demand, ultimately promote sustainable development, and maintain a competitive advantage in an increasingly digital world.

In the "Injection Molding Machinery and Intelligent Equipment Zone" of this exhibition, visitors can not only find internationally renowned brands and market giants such as Abbott, Klaus Maffei, Demag, Weimeng Bartenfield, Engel, Modan, Chuantian, Matsui, Fanuc, Baikalai, Cyberray, Beifu, Staubel, etc., but also many leading Chinese suppliers such as Haitian, Terui, Bochuang, Yizhimi, Hangzhou Bole, Xinyi, Lijin, etc Tusda and others showcase various advanced automation and mechanical technologies in a dedicated area of over 57000 square meters, experiencing how digitalization can improve the efficiency and productivity of production processes.

Moving from "Made in China" to "Created in China"

"Made in China" has great significance in the global rubber and plastic industry, symbolizing the outstanding strength of the manufacturing industry and Chinese enterprises. Chinese manufacturers have been known for their cost-effectiveness and industrial strength for many years, not only occupying a position in the global market, but also making significant progress in building world-class brands in recent years. The label "Made in China" not only represents affordable prices, but also represents a commitment to innovation and high-end technology. In the leapfrog development from "Made in China" to "Created in China", Chinese enterprises are investing more and more resources in research and development, promoting the technological progress of the rubber and plastic industry. Combining professional knowledge and cutting-edge technology in the manufacturing industry, industry elites spare no effort in providing diversified high-quality products for industrial development, consolidating China's global leadership position in the industry.

In response to national and provincial policy calls, this exhibition will gather over 850 "specialized, refined, unique, and new" enterprises, of which over 250 have been awarded the national level "Little Giant" title. The aim is to promote innovative development of enterprises in cutting-edge professional markets and actively implement the national initiative to cultivate "specialized, refined, unique, and new" enterprises.
