Asias largest electronics fair from Hong Kong International
July, 2008 - Running from 13 to 16 October 2008, the 28th edition of
HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) will bring together more than 2,500
electronics industry suppliers at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC)
and the Hong Kong Exhibition Centre.
Backed by its 28-year history of excellence, the fair is the biggest electronics event of
its kind in Asia, and the second largest in the world. This year, a new section, the
In-Vehicle Electronics & GPS Zone, will be introduced, providing additional opportunities
for buyers to find new suppliers and products.
The new zone will be located in the Hong Kong Exhibition Centre, in China Resources
Building, adjacent to HKCEC. The creation of the In-Vehicle Electronics & GPS Zone is a
response to the rapid growth of this exciting industry sector.
Brand name products are always in high demand among consumers. The Hall of Fame is an
impressive showcase presenting companies which place a strong emphasis on design and
which create collections of branded electronic goods. Other popular zones within the
Autumn Edition include Digital World, Home Tech, and the Technology Exchange Zone.
The electronics industry makes a huge contribution to Hong Kong's economy. It is the
largest merchandise export earner, accounting for around 50% of Hong Kong's total exports
in 2007. In 2008, the industry continues to be prosperous. For the first four months of
2008, Hong Kong's total exports of electronics products reached US58.4 billion (HK$455.8
billion), a 14% increase over the same period last year. Exports to emerging markets such
as India (+59.4%), Poland (+51.7%), Russia (+47.4%), Turkey (+40.2%) and Vietnam (+60.8%)
are rising briskly.
The strong potential of the industry will certainly attract a large number of buyers from
all over the world. Last year, more than 58,000 professional buyers from 160 countries and
regions visited the fair.
Ms Bonnie Shek Director of HKTDC Australia / NZ Office mentions that, "HKTDC Sydney Office
is once again forming a Buying Mission to visit the Trade Fair. To assist local buyers with
their sourcing needs, we are offering VIP Offers such as FREE Entry, FREE Trade Show
Catalogue and also Hotel Sponsorship for any NEW BUYERS. This year we are also setting up
Pre-Fair Business Matching appointments to help locate quality and premium Hong Kong suppliers."
