CHINAPLAS | EXHIBITION PREVIEW
Chinaplas at new venue following one-year break
Covid-19 interrupted China’s leading plastics exhibition, but Chinaplas is back in 2021 at a large new venue in Shenzhen. In this preview, we take a look at machinery exhibitors
The Covid-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of many international trade shows in 2020. The 34th edition of Chinaplas was rescheduled to 13-16 April, 2021 and it is set to be the first major plastics exhibition to take place in well over a year. This will be the first time Chinaplas will be held in Shenzhen and the annual event will now alternate between Shenzhen (in odd-numbered years) and Shanghai (even years).
At Chinaplas 2019 there was a total 250,000 m²
exhibition area at its Guangzhou location. Chinap- las 2021 is occupying 16 halls of the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Centre, which covers 350,000 m² of exhibition area. The show organiser Adsale Exhibition Services says approxi- mately 3,600 exhibitors will be in Shenzhen, similar to the number at Guangzhou in 2019. It will be interesting to see if Chinaplas 2021 will match the 163,314 visitors who attended the 2019

fair. As international travel restrictions imposed by many countries around the world are likely to be still active in April, the number of international visitors may fall from the 31,170 people from 159 countries and regions who attended Chinaplas 2019. This year, there will be nine country/region pavilions in the exhibition, a slight decrease from the 11 pavilions in 2019. Chinaplas 2021 will have several special events
and feature areas. The Industry 4.0 Factory of the Future brings together international technology groups with the telecoms operator China Unicom to display smart production lines for injection moulding. A Manufacturing Intelligence Control Room connects the equipment at different exhibi- tion booths with factories away from the exhibition venue. Other events and features include Tech Talk, Medical Plastics Connect and conferences on the plastics circular economy and product design.
