The Largest Ceramics Industry Exhibition in Asia Invite You to Create Brilliancy Together in 2008
In recent years, with the steady and rapid development of China’s economy and ceramics industry, CERAMICS CHINA is enlarging itself in its exhibiting area, ranging from 18,000 sqms in 2004, 23,000 sqms in 2005, 42,000 sqms in 2006 and around 45,000 sqms in 2007. It is estimated that it will exceed 55,000 sqms in 2008, and become the second largest ceramics industry exhibition in the world only next to the exhibition of TECNARGILLA in Italy.
As one of the top industrial exhibitions in the world, CERAMICS CHINA is always presenting many globally-advanced technologies and the latest products, attracting tens of thousands of decision-makers from all over the world to participate. It is a most important stage for the new products’ releasing, presenting and trading, and also the best place for overseas enterprises to explore China’s and Asian markets and the most convenient way for Chinese enterprises to extend their business abroad.
Steady Prosperity of Chinese Economy Propels Continuous Increase in Building Materials Market
In 2007, China still remains its fast developing pace among all the countries in the world. In the report of “Forecast of The Global Economies In 2007: Driving The Next Pace of Internationalization” published by the World Bank, China’s economy developing speed is estimated to lower down a little in the next two years, but still powerful against the global economies. In this report it is emphasized that China has become the major power engine to push the East Asia and Pacific-surrounding area’s economies to go further.
Construction and building materials industries are the key factors for the rapid development of China’s economy. The construction of cities and towns, getting the most attentions by Chinese government, is seen as one of the strategic problems during the development of the countryside economy and social improvement. It has a wide range, including basic constructions, development of real properties, public construction programs in urban city and small and medium-size towns. Due to this enormous investment and rapid development of cities and towns, the building materials will have an increasing market in China.
