The market demand is expected to hit US$304 billion by 2015.” says Athena Gong, General Manager of CBME.   “There is much room for growth and expansion in this industry. With this seminar, we give international brands, suppliers and vendors a better understanding of the China market and help them explore business opportunities beyond Europe and the United States.”   Seminar attendees were treated to an afternoon of expert education, good F&B and key take-away on how to bring their products to the hands of Chinese consumers.
