A professional and international fair serving China's largest and most dynamic jewellery market.
  Shanghai is China's most vibrant and fashionable city, an international hub for finance, business, and shipping in East China and the largest consumer market for jewellery.  Renowned historically as the commercial and financial centre of China, Shanghai has developed into the most cosmopolitan and affluent city, setting lifestyle and fashion trends for the entire Chinese marketplace.
  The jewellery market is booming in Shanghai and its surrounding area with the region recording a 40 percent annual growth in diamond and precious jewellery sales. This huge growth is attributed to the improved living standards of its 16 million residents that has led to an increasing demand for jewellery products.
  A professional Fair from Asia's top Fair organiser to serve China's largest consumer market.
  To serve the needs of this growing market and the burgeoning jewellery industry in the East China region, Asia's top Fair organiser, CMP Asia Ltd, has stepped in to bring a professional and international Fair to the region.
  The China International Gold, Jewellery & Gem Fair - Shanghai will be a truly professional and international event in East China (Huadong area) providing a unique trading platform for jewellery traders, manufacturers, buyers and retailers from all over the world.
  Shanghai - a leading jewellery market 
  Shanghai is the largest consumer market in China. Consumer spending is spurred by rising income levels: The city's 16 million people enjoy a per capita income of over US$5,000 which is expected to reach US$6,500 by 2005.
  Shanghai's jewellery market is the leader among other Chinese cities and is constantly recording growing demand for high quality jewellery products. Shanghai is also the jewellery centre for both retailing and manufacturing in the Huadong region. The Shanghai Gold Exchange and Shanghai Diamond Exchange have provided the impetus to sustain strong domestic demand and facilitate the international jewellery trade.
  Experts predict that in about 10 years Shanghai will become one of Asia's top diamond centres and a highly competitive diamond and gems processing centre.
  Shanghai - China's city par excellence and perfect exhibition venue.
  With its well-developed world-class infrastructure and many competitive advantages, Shanghai is an excellent venue for an international trade fair and CMP Asia will use its professional expertise for participants to successfully launch their products in the world's largest potential market.
