Celebrating 20 Years of Industry Excellence

In honour of its 20-year milestone, R+T Asia has planned a series of campaigns to recognize longstanding contributors and attendees who have been instrumental in its growth. Visitors and exhibitors can expect on-site celebrations that blend business and entertainment, as well as a pre-show campaign capturing testimonials and key memories from regular attendees and industry veterans.

Inauguration of the R+T Asia Buyer Club

To commemorate the anniversary, R+T Asia is launching the Buyer Club, an exclusive community for top-tier buyers in the sun shading and door/gate industries. This club aims to enhance networking opportunities through tailored activities that enrich the event experience. Membership is invitation-only and reserved for decision-makers, such as manufacturers, importers, distributors, and franchise store buyers with budget allocation authority.

R+T Asia’s Leading Position and China’s Expanding Market

R+T Asia has solidified its position as the leading large-scale event in APAC for sun shading systems, roller shutters, doors, gates, and automation, consistently demonstrating resilience and growth. Past post-COVID editions have seen record visitor and exhibitor numbers, with particular interest from Southeast Asia.

China remains a vital market, advancing in technology and product offerings to meet local and international demand. Recent government policies aimed at enhancing consumer markets through subsidies for building and decorative materials have further supported domestic demand, bolstering China’s role as a key sourcing hub in Asia.

China’s market outlook is promising, with the country’s GDP reaching RMB 94,974.6 billion (US$13,004.3 billion) in the first three quarters of 2024, marking a 4.8 percent increase year-on-year. Manufacturing output grew by 6 percent year-on-year, and total imports and exports reached RMB 32.33 trillion (US$4.43 trillion), an increase of 5.3 percent. These indicators highlight China’s resilience in international trade and its continued economic expansion.
