This year, one could see a greater number of Southern American and African traders due to market trend.

Exhibitors from the tyre industry were Linglong Group, Shandong Hawk International Rubber Industry Co, Ltd, Shandong Huasheng Rubber Co, Ltd, Jianxin Tyre (Fujian) Co, Ltd, Evergreen Tire and Taiwan based Nankang Rubber Tire Corp, Ltd, to name a few.
