CHINACOAT2026 is scheduled to take place in Area A of the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, P.R. China from Nov. 11-13, marking its 30th anniversary. Since 1996, CHINACOAT has grown into an important global platform for the coatings industry, fostering innovation, technical exchange and business development.
This year, more than 1,250 exhibitors from 28 countries and regions (as of August 2026) will showcase their latest products and technologies across 9.5 exhibition halls (Halls 1.1 – 4.1, 6.1, 1.2 – 5.2), covering more than 99,000 square meters of exhibition space. The exhibition is set to provide industry professionals with opportunities to explore innovations, exchange knowledge and build connections in a vibrant marketplace.
Ideas That Spark Change

On Day 2, another session will focus on Turkish Coatings Industry: Your Strategic Bridge Between Europe and Asia, to be presented by Semih İyigüllü — board member of the Turkish Paint Manufacturers Association (BOSAD), vice chairman of the board of Akis Paint. This presentation will outline Türkiye’s strategic role and market potential.
Innovation Driving Market Momentum
CHINACOAT2026 marks not only a 30th anniversary milestone but also a pivotal moment for industry growth. Asia Pacific continues to lead the global coatings market, with China and the Greater Bay Area driving demand through urbanization, EV expansion and smart infrastructure.
New environmental regulations taking effect in 2026 are accelerating adoption of low VOC and waterborne coatings, while AI and automation are reshaping production with greater efficiency. At the same time, innovations such as bio‑based resins and functional coatings are rapidly emerging.
Positioned in Guangzhou at the heart of one of the world’s top ten economies, CHINACOAT2026 offers visitors first‑hand exposure to breakthroughs, policy insights and market trends, while building connections that open the doors to future opportunities.
