COMPOUNDING WORLD ASIA | EVENT PREVIEW
Asia’s compounders to meet in Bangkok
AMI’s fifth Compounding World Asia conference takes place in Bangkok in Thailand in September. We take a look at what the event holds in store
The compounding market in the greater Asia region accounts for around 60% of all global compounding activity and is developing quickly. Regional growth exceeds 5%, according to AMI estimates, with key markets such as China and India growing at near to 10% annually. The compounding industry in the region is also highly sophisticated, with many formulations and solutions developed specifically for the needs of the local market. This can often involve the use of different additives and polymer combinations than those seen in other global regions. AMI’s fifth Compounding World Asia conference
reflect this diversity and innovation through a series of presentations highlighting added value opportunities. The two-day international event takes place on 25-26 September 2019 at the Banyan Tree Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, and will provide a platform for all industry professionals and their supply chain partners to exchange ideas, learn about the latest developments in this market and grow their networks.
