DS Printech China 2021 will be held from August 6-8, 2021, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The developing trends of customisation and lower minimum orders in the domestic market are expected to present new opportunities at the fair. The trade platform will continue to serve the digital and screen printing sectors post the pandemic.
As an influential platform dedicated to the digital and screen printing industry, the 2020 fair revealed the growing demand for customisation and smaller MOQs, especially in the digital printing sector. The event will continue to help industry practitioners grasp the growth potential in the Chinese market, supporting the development of technologies that are brought to the forefront to cater to consumer needs in the current climate, according to Messe Frankfurt.
“Currently, businesses from the digital textile printing, 3D printing and packaging sectors, amongst others, form several clusters across the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta regions, and account for over 50 per cent of the domestic printing and packaging market in China. Therefore, after DS Printech China wrapped up its launch in Shenzhen we decided to hold the next fair in Shanghai, ensuring both areas that are important to the industry can be covered for maximised business outcomes,” Wendy Wen, senior general manager of Messe Frankfurt said in a press release.
“Despite the general downturn in the overall economy, the consensus from exhibitors and buyers was that the event offered valuable opportunities for rebuilding connections and relationships, and as a fair organiser we will strive to offer the same successes for both domestic and international players at the 2021 edition too,” Wen added.
“This time we brought our new equipment that especially caters to small quantity orders and customisation, the two emerging market trends in China. Our products have been popular with visitors, and some have already placed orders. We met with garment printing manufacturers who work with big domestic brands like Li Ning and Anta,” Chen Liang, general manager of Tianling Intelligent Technology said in a Messe Frankfurt press release.
DS Printech China is co-organised by Messe Frankfurt, China Screen Printing & Graphic Imaging Association (CSGIA), and Guangzhou Teyin Exhibition Service.
