CHINACOAT 2026 will be held from November 11 to 13, 2026, at Area A of the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, P.R. China.
Since its inception in 1996, CHINACOAT has grown into a global coatings platform for technology exchange and business development worldwide.
According to The Business Research Company, the global paints and coatings market reached US$248.1 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $336.0 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.5%.
The Asia Pacific region remains the largest and fastest‑growing coatings market, accounting for over one‑third of global revenue. China continues to drive demand through rapid urbanization, infrastructure investment, expansion of the EV industry, and adoption of sustainable building materials.
Growth in China is expected to continue through 2026, driven primarily by advanced manufacturing, new energy vehicles, semiconductors, green building materials, and smart infrastructure.Â
CHINACOAT offers exhibitors direct access to this thriving hub, enabling them to leverage cross‑border trade opportunities and broaden their customer base.
Over the past 30 years, CHINACOAT has evolved into a global platform for exhibitors to present new technologies, strengthen brand visibility, and connect with decision‑makers face-to-face.
As CHINACOAT enters its 30th year, the exhibition will continue to create important opportunities for exhibitors to connect, grow, and collectively contribute to the industry’s development.
Exhibiting at CHINACOAT2026 enables companies to showcase innovations that support these priorities, including low‑VOC and waterborne coatings, energy‑efficient production processes, and advanced functional materials.
By presenting solutions that address both policy goals and industry needs, exhibitors can strengthen their positioning in China’s coatings market and forge stronger connections with downstream sectors undergoing modernization.
The 2025 Shanghai edition set new records, attracting 45,024 visitors from 125 countries/regions and hosting 1,464 exhibitors from 30 countries/regions.
