At this year's show, Chinaplas will set up for the first time the "Rubber Machinery and Equipment Zone".

Demand for rubber products on the rise in China

According to statistics, the accumulated sales volume of rubber products in China has reached RMB 220.5 billions (EUR 25.3 billion) between January and May of 2010, with a growth of 35.38 % on a year-on-year basis whereas the growth rate enjoyed an increase of 31.57 % compared with the same period of last year. Stimulated by promising prospects for conveyor belts and rubber tubes, rubber seals, rubber snubber for buildings as well as rubber products for automotive applications, the Chinese rubber industry has overcome the adversity left by the global financial crisis and is now growing rapidly.
