Exploring the Eurasian and Middle Eastern Markets from Istanbul
During the exhibition, the DPES overseas promotion team visited different specialized areas of SIGN ISTANBUL 2026 and engaged in face-to-face discussions with printing companies, signage businesses, equipment distributors, industry buyers and professionals from Turkey and other countries.
Through these conversations, the team gained first-hand insights into local market trends and industry needs, while introducing DPES CHINA 2027 to professional visitors. Taking into account the characteristics of the printing and signage markets in Turkey and the wider Eurasian region, the team highlighted the upgraded exhibition plan for DPES CHINA 2027.
In 2027, DPES CHINA will move to Area B of the Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou, with 13 exhibition halls and a total exhibition area of 130,000 square meters. The show is expected to bring together 1,500+ exhibitors, covering a wide range of sectors including digital printing, signage, textile printing, engraving and cutting, LED, advertising materials, graphic and quick printing, and more.
The DPES team also introduced the value of DPES CHINA as a platform connecting Chinese manufacturing resources with global markets. As Chinese manufacturers continue to upgrade their technologies and expand applications in digital printing, advertising equipment, signage production and related materials, they are increasingly serving international markets with a broader range of products and solutions.
Through direct conversations at the show, the team introduced DPES CHINA as an important industry platform in Asia and strengthened connections with companies, distributors and potential business partners from Turkey and the wider Eurasian region.
