It is gratifying that the local government of Jingdezhen is attention to this matter, there are a lot of people doing this thing. ” Zheng Yi Jingdezhen were each to want to leave, she said, whether it is in Hong Kong or in Beijing and Shanghai, ceramic art is not very strong atmosphere, with which it is difficult to carry out related work, but not the same as in Jingdezhen, surrounded by so ceramics who are expert, good atmosphere, and easily communicate.

Ceramics Industry Exhibition - Guangzhou new case of crisis situation

By JDZ-Ceramic

As has been successfully held 23 sessions, China and Asia’s largest exhibition of ceramic industry, Guangzhou Industry in promoting the development of China’s ceramic industry will undoubtedly play an important role and significance. However, from this year’s exhibition industry to reduce the traffic of the reality, the Chinese ceramic industry event in the current pattern of global ceramic industry has witnessed tremendous changes in the new situation, is faced with a breakthrough with the enhancement of a comprehensive crisis.

There is no doubt that the Chinese ceramic industry, especially ceramic machine, chemical and related industries, the current can be said to be outside of Italy in addition to the most complete and full, although in some areas, world-class level and there is a big gap, but the scale of to create the level of market share in the international market and so have an important role. As China’s ceramic industry in the direction of the international market scene, industrial exhibition size, grade and influence, no doubt the development of China’s ceramic industry has an important role to promote and facilitate.

Judging from this year’s show, customers from abroad, such as more concentrated in the Southeast Asian countries and regions, new ceramics, from Europe and the United States significantly reduced traffic areas. This is among the natural global economic downturn, H1N1 virus, the impact of such factors, but show organizers in the overseas market promotion and publicity is the key decision factors show traffic. The scene in the show, many exhibitors would like to increase the industrial exhibition organizer in the overseas market promotion efforts, the Industry Exhibition higher position, run a greater scale, so that it truly becomes an important international ceramics industry event rather than the show has hit brand, reap the profits. In the long run, the industrial exhibition in the ceramic industry of the status of the occasion will be further down, thus weakening the revitalization of China’s ceramic industry, the exhibition explore the role of the international market.

In the ceramic industry, Italy Bologna Fair, no doubt the influence of the absolute, it not only brings together world-class manufacturer of ceramics, and has extensive international procurement channels and customers, so that each enterprise participating in the show can find a great business opportunities, which is excluded from the Italian event for many years, refused to Chinese enterprises an important reason why exhibitors. On the ceramic industry, set aside in terms of industry, China is currently the largest outside Italy, matching the most complete national, as the center of Foshan in the major producing areas have been thousands of ceramic machine, chemical industry and related businesses, industries set group of the most complete, in some areas, and even catch up with and more than Italy. However, how to cluster and scale of this advantage to enter into overseas markets, show no doubt is an effective way out. In fact, during the exhibition industry in Guangzhou, Munich, Germany, held on-site ceramic industry in October this year, the Expo will promote the fight for customers cited the war to the front of the Guangzhou Exhibition Industry.

In addition, although the current industrial exhibition of overseas exhibitors and customers a certain number remain, but many exhibitors is based on many years of China’s ceramic industry show the brand recognition, more viewers in Southeast Asia is also the participating businesses to customers or co-operation partners, are invited from participating businesses. If the host name of strengthening in the overseas market promotion and publicity to further enhance the impact of Industry Exhibition in Guangzhou, and will attract more international top companies and customers to come and negotiate the exchange of exhibitors, which will show the size, grade and impact force and the level of China’s ceramic industry to match.

Only to go out in the broader market, the broader field of Chinese ceramics exhibition industry and its promotion and publicity in order to allow more customers the power of knowledge in China, to cooperation in the industrial exhibition in Guangzhou eyes. Only in this way can we make next year’s industrial exhibition in the international market to achieve greater influence, so that China’s ceramic industry in the direction of the international market scene, and then take power into the ceramic ceramic Powers of the mission.
