Why the Rubber and Plastic Exhibition was held in Zhuhai
From June 27 to 29, 2023, the 15th Asian (Greater Bay Area) Plastics and Rubber Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as "Asian Greater Bay Area Rubber and Plastics Exhibition") will be held in Zhuhai International Convention and Exhibition Center.
China is a major developing country in the rubber and plastic industry in the world. The rubber and plastic industry is developing rapidly and has broad prospects. The output of rubber and plastic products ranks in the forefront of the world. Founded in 1979, Zhuhai is located in the south of Guangdong Province, China, on the west bank of the Pearl River estuary, adjacent to the South China Sea, connected with Hong Kong and Shenzhen waters in the east, 36 nautical miles away from Hong Kong, and connected with Macao land in the south. Zhuhai is one of the first four special economic zones established in China. In addition, Zhuhai has five economic functional zones, including Zhuhai National High tech Industrial Development Zone, Zhuhai Bonded Zone, Wanshan Marine Development Pilot Zone, Hengqin Economic and Technological Development Zone, and Harbor Industrial Zone. Zhuhai has global access to five major international airports, including Hong Kong, Macao, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. There are many ports in Zhuhai, and there are a lot of traffic. The number of people who pass the customs at Hengqin Port in Zhuhai exceeds 80 million every year. The number of people who pass the customs at Gongbei Port in Zhuhai exceeds 102 million every year. The number of vehicles that pass the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge every year is 12.88 million. The annual passenger flow of Zhuhai Airport is 12.4 million. Zhuhai has now developed into a "manufacturing city" in China. According to the official website of the People's Government of Guangdong Province on August 3, 2022, Zhuhai has a very clear industrial development path - during the "Fourteenth Five Year Plan" period, we will strengthen intelligent equipment manufacturing, fine chemicals and other competitive industries, accelerate the construction of a modern industrial development pattern, and strive to achieve a total industrial output value of more than 1 trillion yuan by 2025. According to the government's industrial layout, Zhuhai's total industrial output value will rank third in Guangdong after 2025, and will surpass Foshan and Dongguan after Shenzhen and Guangzhou. In 2021, Zhuhai's GDP per capita will rank the second in Guangdong Province, second only to Shenzhen. Zhuhai will soon become a first-line city.
The opening of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge means that Zhuhai has become the only bridgehead city connected with Hong Kong and Macao by land. The construction of Shenzhen Zhuhai Channel, Guangzhou Fojiang Pearl City Rail, Guangzhou Pearl City Rail Extension Line, Honghe Bridge, Jinhai Bridge and other projects has made Zhuhai a core transportation hub city in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Bay Area, which is also one of the reasons why the rubber and plastic exhibition was held in Zhuhai. Zhuhai is one of the best located and most beautiful exhibition centers in the world, and also a super large exhibition complex for holding manufacturing exhibitions.
This is a grand economic and trade event, a cultural event, and an opportunity for Zhuhai to show its construction and development achievements to the whole country and the world. As the host of Rubber and Plastic Exhibition in the Great Bay Area of Asia, we should provide high-quality and efficient services for this exhibition and truly make this exhibition a pragmatic and efficient global international event.
