We will delve into the exciting world of Chinese exhibitions and discover what they have to offer.

Why attend China’s industry exhibitions?

You might wonder why attending China’s industry exhibitions is important. Let me share a few points with you. First, trade shows and fairs show your services and products to your customers or potential business partners. Moreover, a variety of companies and industries in one location allows you to network with professionals from different fields and make business connections.

If you’re not convinced, the following are some add-ons that you might find interesting.

Face-to-face sale opportunity

China’s industry exhibitions bring together a highly targeted audience of potential customers actively seeking new products and services. By attending the exhibitions, you can sell directly to your target audience and capitalise on their interest and willingness to invest.

It’s a great way to generate leads and direct sales, as you speak to potential customers in person and address any concerns or objections they may have. Moreover, face-to-face interaction allows you to build a personal connection and establish trust with your prospects, which can greatly increase the chances of closing a sale.

Increase brand awareness

It is a perfect opportunity to introduce your company to the target audiences. It provides a platform to promote your brand, products, or services, increase visibility and improve your company’s image. By having an eye-catching Exhibition Wall and well-designed trade show booth, you can attract audiences to your stand and engage with them personally. It’s an opportunity to create a lasting impression and generate leads for your business.

Auto & Automotive

Here is some background information about China’s automobile market. First, Statista pointed out that China is the largest automobile market worldwide based on new car registrations, both with regard of demand and supply. 

The two main factors that affect the automobile market are economic factors and government policies.

For example, in 2020, the market was heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a decrease in sales during the first half of the year, but sales picked up in the second half of the year as the country’s economy recovered.

In 2021, there was no reason to question whether the market would recover as the economy recovered with the demand for personal vehicles continues to grow.

Moreover, China has increased its focus on electric vehicles (EVs) and other types of new energy vehicles (NEVs) such as hybrids and fuel cell vehicles. Also, the Chinese government is actively promoting the development and adoption of NEVs to reduce air pollution and promote sustainable transportation.
