Mr Brendan Jennings, General Manager of China International Exhibitions shared "ProPak China 2010 was the largest edition in ProPak's 16 year history in China, with 530 participants from 19 countries and regions. Analysis of visitors after the show demonstrated that of the record 14,754 attendees from 77 countries, 53.91% came from industries seeking solid processing, packaging technology while the balance came from liquid product manufacturers specifically beverage, fruit juice, carbonated drinks, beer and dairy producers in search of the latest technology".

Demand for space at ProPak China 2011 and the focus of technology on display reflects the dynamics of the Chinese economy. "The rapid growth of the Chinese economy will no longer be sustained by exports. The domestic market of middle income consumers is now the target for the fastest growing sectors of the economy" reported People's Daily 13th December 2010.
