Hong Kong Electronics Fair expands

23 July 2008 News

Running from 13 to 16 October 2008, the 28th edition of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council's (HKTDC) Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) will bring together more than 2500 electronics industry suppliers. electronicAsia, a trading platform for components, parts, assemblies, services and technology, will run concurrently with the Electronics Fair.

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 and GPS Zone - will be introduced, in response to the rapid growth of this industry sector.

Brand name products are always in high demand among consumers. The fair's 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 US$58,4 billion, a 14% increase over the same period last year.

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.
