(Shanghai, China, July 14, 2023) The 15th edition of WATERTECH CHINA, the leading international water technology exhibition, concluded successfully on June 7th at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Hongqiao) in Shanghai. In the first year of China’s full economic recovery, the exhibition achieved a new record in overall scale, bringing together exhibitors from over 2,500 brands and more than 60,000 high-quality products in the water treatment industry. The exhibition attracted over 100,000 professional buyers during the three-day event, making it a world-class trade fair and demonstrating the vitality of the WATERTECH CHINA brand.
Spanning over an impressive 16-year history in China, WATERTECH CHINA, under the expert organization and guidance of the diligent Herui Group, has evolved from a humble water exhibition to an international flagship platform in the global water treatment industry. With China’s economic restructuring and its dual carbon national goals, the water treatment industry is facing unprecedented transformation. The waste water treatment market is shifting from simple water pollution control to systematic environmental and ecological governance and integrated water resource management. At the same time, the rapid rise of new and renewable energy industries and commercial water demand has brought opportunities for industry enterprises.
In this evolving landscape, the organizer is presented with not only challenges but the responsibility to explore growth markets for the water treatment industry, improve the quality of technical exchanges, and expand commercial trade opportunities. To achieve these strategic goals in the near future, WATERTECH CHINA not only needs to refine the development path but also pursue internationalization. With the continuous expansion of the services, it is mission critical to evaluate the resources and capabilities of the international partner. Finding a stronger partner and a new development path for WATERTECH CHINA has become critical for Herui Group.
With a strong commitment to the industry advancement and customer success, the organizer of WATERTECH CHINA has chosen to change and upgrade its overseas partner by establishing a strategic partnership with the leading exhibition group Informa Markets, which has strong resources and a successful track record. With this strategic partnership, the organizer will make every effort to improve the value proposition of WATERTECH CHINA and broaden the development scope to continuously create value for the industry and customers. Based on the previous track record and success backed by thousands of exhibitors and millions of professional visitors, the 16th edition of WATERTECH CHINA will continue to be held on June 3-5, 2024 at the NECC (National Exhibition and Convention Center).
