New venue, more exhibitors, more topics: FIBO CHINA in top form

In the end, the growing need for space made the difference: the fifth FIBO CHINA will take place in a new location. The National Exhibitions and Conference Center in Shanghai is the second-largest exhibition centre worldwide, providing FIBO CHINA with new opportunities to stage both the exhibition area and an extensive supporting programme. FIBO CHINA will take up approximately 40,000 square metres here in 2018. FIBO organiser Reed Exhibitions Deutschland’s international industry know-how is once again dovetailing nicely with Reed Sinopharm Exhibitions’ knowledge of the Asian market as both have joined forces to host the event. The fair will take place from 16 to 18 August.

More and more top brands of the international fitness industry like Technogym, Life Fitness, Matrix or Precor use FIBO CHINA to gain a foothold in the growing Asian fitness market. Last year, one in five exhibitors made their regional debut right here. Growing awareness of fitness in China is what makes FIBO CHINA so attractive for the industry. DHZ Fitness, Intenza, Life Fitness, Matrix, Miha Bodytec, Precor, Sports Art, Technogym and X-Body are among the companies that have announced their participation for 2018. In the nutritional supplements segment, visitors will meet the likes of Biotech, Ironmaxx and Olimp. In total, about 350 exhibitors and 25,000 visitors are expected to attend.

More Healthy Nutrition, Aqua Fitness, EMS and Equipment

Technologies, training concepts, scientific findings and trends – as the leading industry event in the Asian market, FIBO CHINA puts on display the state-of-the-art in fitness and healthy living. The new generation of fitness devices, digitalisation concepts and group fitness classes will be presented at the trade show. Healthy Nutrition, Aqua Fitness, EMS and Equipment are the areas that have seen particular growth in 2018.

Are proteins the “one and only” kind of fitness nutrition? What does a healthy diet look like? Featuring an extensive assortment of nutritional supplements like protein shakes, vitamins and probiotic foods alongside healthy foods with a balanced nutrient content, FIBO CHINA will show what’s new in nutrition. The complementary Healthy Food Marketplace combines experience, information and shopping all in one place for visitors to enjoy.

Another focus topic at this year’s trade show is aqua fitness. Whether it’s new aqua fitness course formats, pool installations or water purification systems, exhibitors will offer a variety of solutions for studio operators.

EMS first became a topic at FIBO CHINA in 2016; ten companies will exhibit in this area in 2018, offering visitors an even bigger selection of diverse EMS products.

The exhibitors will also provide multiple solutions for operators looking for gym equipment and infrastructure. Products will range from multifunctional sports flooring to access control systems, energy saving ideas and shower systems to air purification systems.

Business-focussed supporting programme

As the most important fitness event in Asia, FIBO China also helps to advance industry know-how in a fast-growing market. The show’s supporting programme specifically addresses questions and issues on the minds of club operators, while targeting the sector’s investors as well as managers, trainers and instructors. The main attraction, the FIBO CHINA Academy featuring the Fitness Industry Future Development Summit Forum, will be complemented by a vast lineup of sub-forums on topics such as rehabilitation, nutrition, female executives, management, marketing, retail, pools, youth physical fitness, human resources, finance, science and technology, and other club-related management issues. Completing the agenda will be additional special areas and programmes, such as the FIBO CHINA Sharing and Experience Area, which allows exhibitors to present new technologies, products and models, and the Invited Buyer Matching Activity, which facilitates the making of new business contacts. To top it all off, another impressive banquet will mark the presentation of the FIBO CHINA X Golden Lion Awards. Featuring an opening ceremony, product launches and numerous interviews, the FIBO CHINA Media Experience Day will further raise the public profile of the fitness industry.

Growth of New Energy Vehicles puts Demand for Aluminium Alloy on Fast Track, Aluminium China 2018 in Shanghai, from 11-13 July

The growing use of lightweight materials for the development of new energy vehicles is driving demand for aluminium alloy in China and around the world. At the last Auto China show alone, leading brands showcased 174 new energy models and it is predicted that by 2020, the number of new energy vehicles in China will reach 2 million. This rapid growth in both production and sales is underpinned by government policies and high market demand.

Aluminium China 2018 in Shanghai, from 11-13 July, will offer a major international platform for the growing range of new lightweight materials and production solutions. In particular, the event will highlight the vital role of aluminium in the future of the new energy automotive industry.

32 new energy auto-related policies were launched in China in 2017 and the policy of tax rebates for consumers who buy new energy vehicles is to be extended for another three years. Furthermore, China’s ‘Made in China 2025’ strategy puts new energy vehicles at the center of its vision of the future, committing to, “support electric and fuel cell automobile development; encourage low carbon emission technologies and smart auto technologies.”

Lightweight design, together with electrical drive engineering and smart technologies will define the new energy auto industry in the next ten years. With car plate-based traffic control and compensation policies in place, indigenous auto manufacturers currently account for over 90% of China’s new energy auto market. CPCA (China Passenger Car Association) statistics show that top new energy brands, in terms of sales, in China include BYD, ZD, BAIC New Energy, Chery New Energy, and SAIC Rowe, while bus manufacturers are also joining the new energy wave.

“A rise in the use of aluminium for new energy automobiles is promoting lightweight design trends and accelerating industry growth,” said Chris Zang, project manager of Aluminium China. “In the future, aluminium will be used increasingly for vehicle bodies, doors, trunks, hoods, bumpers, heat exchange, chassis, power batteries, motor parts and other parts and components. Backed by in-depth market research designed to understand new energy auto needs, Aluminium China 2018 will help businesses expand into these exciting new markets.”

This year’s event will feature side-events such as a ‘Get to Know Automotive Manufacturers’ program, an Auto Buyers’ Exchange Day, and a Thai Market Themed Conference. By connecting demand and supply, Aluminium China will correct the current market information imbalance and provide a robust trading platform for exhibitors and buyers.

Collocated with Aluminium China this year will be Lightweight Asia 2018, which provides more diverse material and solutions for the new energy auto industry.
