Wire & Cable Guangzhou is set to take place from June 11 to 13, 2019 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, China. Benefiting from the Belt and Road Initiative and China’s 13th Five-Year Plan, the 2019 show is projected to exceed the previous edition in terms of scale.

Four specialised zones will be present at the show to meet the sourcing requirements of an expected 30,000 professional trade buyers from the electric power, architectural, transportation and property development sectors.

Organised by China Southern Power Grid Media Co Ltd, Guangzhou BoYou Exhibition Service Co Ltd and Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co Ltd, the fair has obtained a positive reputation in the Chinese and overseas power transmission industry over the past few years. The 2018 edition, which was held concurrently with Electric Asia, attracted an impressive 22,670 visitors from 41 countries and regions.

Emeka Hu, general manager of Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co Ltd, explained how the show can prosper from China’s economic policies: “Research published by TMR shows that the Asia-Pacific region will continue to be at the forefront of demand within the global cable market with a predicted CAGR of 4.8 per cent in 2026. Meanwhile, in the 13th Five Year Plan, the Chinese government has made a significant statement regarding its intent to enhance electrical infrastructure and develop a smart grid in China. Demand will also come from countries along the Belt and Road, who have great needs for electrical power infrastructure. Both policies offer a positive future for the industry.”

To provide a gateway to China’s thriving wire and cable market, the upcoming edition of the fair will feature four zones with a wide spectrum of the latest wire and cable products. The zones will allow visitors to easily pinpoint products from the following key categories:

• Wire and Cable Zone: Featuring power cables, cables for electrical equipment, communication cables, cable materials, cable accessories and other high and low voltage cable products and materials.

• Fibre Optic Cable Zone: Showcasing fibre optic cables, optical communication system equipment, optical communication devices, fibre lasers, and other types of fibre optic cable products.
