Hong Kong International Lighting Fair - attendance up

摘要

In late October I visited the 20th Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition), the third Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo and the 13th Eco Expo Asia as a guest of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). Together, they attracted a record number of over 73,000 buyers from 154 countries and regions visiting the three events - an increase of 6% on last year's attendance. The number of buyers from many markets - including the United States, Mexico, Chile, Russia, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Korea - saw significant growth. An on-site survey conducted at the Autumn Lighting Fair, showed the industry to be cautiously optimistic about the business outlook for next year, with smart city and smart home trends continuing to drive the development of the lighting industry.
