Report Insights: Dual Highlights of the Energy Industry and the Indonesian Market

The Annual Report on China's Exhibition Industry 2025 fully reflects the latest development of China's exhibition industry, covering core dimensions such as current market situation, internationalization process, and innovation and upgrading, providing an important reference for the industry:

Surging Popularity of Energy and Mineral Exhibitions

The report shows that China's exhibition industry maintained steady progress in 2025, with the number of overseas exhibition projects reaching 1,259. Among them, energy and mineral exhibitions delivered an outstanding performance, with the number of overseas projects climbing into the top 10 from the 12th place, becoming a new highlight of the year. This reflects that against the backdrop of global energy transition, enterprises have a growing and strong demand for expanding international markets through professional exhibitions.

Growing Attractiveness of the Indonesian Market

According to the report, Indonesia ranks among the top 10 in a number of core indicators, including the ranking of overseas exhibition destinations, total exhibition area, and the proportion of the number of participating enterprises. With its fast-growing market potential and regional influence, Indonesia has seen a continuous rise in its position in the layout of overseas exhibitions, and has become one of the key regions for Chinese enterprises to deeply cultivate the Southeast Asian market.

Driven by its inclusion in the report, the Indonesia Coal and Energy Expo 2026 will continue to focus on the global energy transition trends and pragmatic cooperation, further expand the exhibition scale, optimize the layout of exhibition areas, and enhance international participation. We sincerely invite energy enterprises and industry institutions around the world to join hands with us, travel to Indonesia to explore new opportunities for energy cooperation, and write a new chapter in cross-border exhibition and industrial development.
