The 7th edition of Tissue World Asia will take place from 11 – 13 November at INTEX –ShanghaiInternationalExhibitionCenter(Level 1). The event which is strategically located in China, the second largest tissue producer and consumer in the world, and in Shanghai, at the core of the key coastal tissue production ranging from Guangdong to Hebei, will once again bring together key tissue industry professionals, opinion leaders, tissue makers, converters, suppliers, distributors and retailers from throughout the region including Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and Australia.

China’s total output of tissue paper in 2013 has been about 5.248 million tons, up by 9.5% as compared to 2009 with over 1,400 tissue mills in the country. The overall growth of the tissue industry is fuelled also by growing demands from the US importing over 190,000 tonnes of finished tissue products in 2013, which makes China the second biggest exporter to the country, and neighbouring countries such as Japan, importing almost 120,000 tonnes in 2012.* Tissue consumption has grown by 5.3% in the Asia Far East region coupled with increased exports to the Oceania countries.**

Additionally, an important contributor to the growth in the region is Indonesia with exports of over 74,000 tonnes in parent rolls to the US, holding its position as the second largest source of import in this category.*

At the last edition held in 2012, Tissue World Asia attracted 3,111 international and local visitors, showcasing a total of 131 companies.
