Music China, Asia-Pacific’s number one music industry event will be held from 11 – 14 October 2011 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) in China and is expected to attract more than 50,000 visitors from around the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“This year we are celebrating the 10th edition of Music China and we expect this event to be another record breaking show,” said Mr Evan Sha, Deputy General Manager, Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd. “More than 90% of exhibitors from last year’s show have already agreed to reserve space and some are even looking to expand their booth space. This positive sign shows that the Asian music industry market, particularly in China, remains strong.” <\/p>\n

To accommodate the demand for more exhibition space, the highly reputed annual show will be spread across six halls and an outdoor area which totals 75,000 sqm. Confirmed leading brand exhibitors include Alhambra, AXL, Conn-Selmer, KHS, Korg, Music Sales, Peavey, Samick, Schimmel, Steinway and Yamaha. In addition, the Italian Electrical Instrument Group will be making its show debut.<\/p>\n

International pavilion exhibitors are also showing their enthusiasm for the show with planned pavilions from the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Spain, Taiwan and the UK. “We are hoping to take a bigger pavilion than last year,” commented Ms Hilde Holb\u221a\u00b6k-Hanssen, Senior Advisor, Music Information Centre Norway, an exhibitor at the Scandinavian pavilion. “Our members have been exhibiting with Music China for three years and we want to have a long term relationship with the show.” <\/p>\n

China’s music industry market continues to expand<\/p>\n

According to the latest statistics from The National Bureau of Statistics, Ministry of Commerce, and General Administration of Customs, both the import and export figures of musical instruments in China last year rose to USD 228 million (27% more than 2009) and USD 1,467 million (20% more than 2009) respectively which reflected the strong demand for musical instruments both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n

“Our members are very confident about the prospect of Music China as the purchasing power of China is getting stronger and stronger,” said Mr Masahiro Uchimoto, Assistant Manager of Japan Musical Instruments Association, which represents retailers, manufacturers and distributors. “We believe our high quality Japanese products will be able to accommodate the high demand in China.”<\/p>\n
