From June 10–12, 2026, Coatings Expo Vietnam 2026 officially takes place at SECC, Ho Chi Minh City. The event brings together hundreds of companies operating in the fields of coatings, printing inks, specialty chemicals, raw materials, and manufacturing equipment.
More than just a platform for showcasing new products, the exhibition is also regarded as an important bridge that helps businesses identify potential partners, expand their supply networks, and stay updated on the latest technological developments in the industry.
Amid ongoing market changes related to raw material costs, environmental requirements, and quality standards, B2B networking activities at Coatings Expo Vietnam 2026 are attracting significant attention from both domestic and international business communities.
COATINGS EXPO VIETNAM 2026 – A KEY MEETING POINT FOR THE COATINGS INDUSTRY
Coatings Expo Vietnam 2026 marks the 11th International Exhibition on Coatings, Color, Specialty Chemicals, and Printing Ink Industries in Vietnam.
According to the organizers, this year’s event brings together more than 400 companies from over 18 countries and territories. The exhibition is expected to welcome more than 8,000 industry visitors and facilitate over 2,000 B2B meetings throughout the event. This represents the largest scale in the exhibition’s history.
Exhibited product categories include coating raw materials, resins, additives, pigments, dispersion equipment, grinding machinery, quality control instruments, and a wide range of innovative technology solutions for the coatings industry.
WHY IS B2B NETWORKING EMERGING AS A KEY TREND?
Optimizing Raw Material Supply Chains
Fluctuations in raw material prices over the past few years have prompted many businesses to place greater emphasis on diversifying their supply sources.
Through face-to-face meetings at the exhibition, companies can engage with multiple manufacturers and distributors simultaneously. This helps shorten the partner selection process and improve access to more competitive sources of raw materials.
Accelerating Technological Innovation
The coatings industry is evolving rapidly. Trends such as waterborne coatings, high-performance additives, environmentally friendly resins, and VOC reduction technologies are gaining significant global attention.
The exhibition provides businesses with direct access to new technologies rather than relying solely on technical documents or online seminars.
Expanding International Collaboration Opportunities
The presence of numerous companies from China, India, Japan, Germany, and South Korea is creating a diverse networking environment for domestic manufacturers.
Through B2B discussions, new opportunities for raw material sourcing, technology transfer, and product development can be established.
CHINESE COMPANIES INCREASING THEIR PRESENCE AT THE EXHIBITION
One of the notable highlights of Coatings Expo Vietnam 2026 is the strong participation of Chinese companies. The exhibitor list includes numerous suppliers specializing in epoxy resins, polyester resins, pigments, dispersing agents, functional additives, and coating manufacturing equipment.
This reflects the ongoing supply chain realignment trend and the growing demand among Vietnamese businesses for new strategic partners.
Beyond competitive pricing, many suppliers are also making substantial investments in manufacturing technology, quality control systems, and solutions that comply with international environmental standards.
