CHINA COATINGS SHOW 2025: A Vibrant Showcase of Innovation – Our Journey as Organic Pigment Specialists

Shanghai, China – September 10, 2025 – The curtains closed on CHINA COATINGS SHOW 2025 on September 5, marking another resounding success at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). As a leading player in the organic pigment industry, we were honored to be part of this global gathering, where 1,300+ exhibitors and 40,000+ trade visitors from 120+ countries converged to explore the future of coatings, printing inks, and adhesives. Hosted by Sinostar-ITE International Ltd., the event solidified its status as the industry’s premier platform for innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth – and for us, it was a dynamic stage to connect, showcase, and inspire.

Spanning 100,000 square meters, the expo was organized into five specialized zones, each echoing the industry’s drive toward progress. From China & International Raw Materials to UV/EB Technology, the focus on high-performance, eco-friendly solutions aligned perfectly with our mission: to deliver organic pigments—including low-VOC compatible grades and high-lightfastness options—that empower vibrant, durable, and sustainable end products.

Our booth became a hub for dialogue, where we showcased our latest formulations – including low-VOC compatible organic pigments for water-based coatings, high-lightfastness options for industrial finishes, and custom shades tailored for premium printing inks. Visitors were particularly drawn to our bio-based pigment derivatives, a testament to the industry’s growing demand for greener alternatives. It was inspiring to see how our products resonated with manufacturers seeking to balance color vibrancy with environmental responsibility.

Beyond the exhibition floor, the event’s technical seminars and workshops offered invaluable perspectives. Sessions on “Sustainable Coating Technologies” and “VOC-Compliant Formulations in the Asia-Pacific Market” reinforced our belief that organic pigments will play a pivotal role in the industry’s low-carbon transition. We engaged in lively discussions with coating formulators, ink manufacturers, and R&D experts, gaining insights into emerging needs – from enhanced heat resistance for automotive coatings to deeper color saturation for packaging inks. These conversations will fuel our next phase of innovation, ensuring our pigments stay ahead of market demands.

CHINA COATINGS SHOW 2025 thrived as a global networking hub, and we seized every opportunity to connect. Whether collaborating with long-term partners to refine supply chains or forging new relationships with international distributors, the event underscored the importance of global synergy in the organic pigment space. Many visitors expressed enthusiasm for our ability to combine technical precision (e.g., consistent particle size distribution) with creative flexibility (e.g., custom color matching), reaffirming that our customer-centric approach is key to sustained growth.

As the Asia-Pacific region continues to dominate the global coatings market (holding 46% of worldwide share), events like CHINACOAT highlight China’s role as an innovation engine. For us, this means doubling down on R&D to meet the region’s unique needs – from supporting rapid urbanization with durable architectural coatings to enabling the boom in high-quality packaging with fade-resistant pigments.

CHINA COATINGS SHOW 2025 was more than an exhibition; it was a glimpse into the future – one where color, performance, and sustainability coexist. We leave Shanghai energized, with new partnerships, fresh ideas, and a renewed commitment to pushing the boundaries of organic pigment technology.

To our clients, partners, and industry peers: thank you for making this event unforgettable. For those who missed us, stay tuned – we’re already working on the next generation of organic pigments, and we can’t wait to share them.
