Summary
Asia's Biggest Houseware Event Attracts Quality International Buyers-The HKTDC Hong Kong Houseware Fair (xiāng gǎng jiā tíng yòng pǐn zhǎn 香港家庭用品展) has a long and proud history, and the 2011 staging will be the 26th edition of the event that has proved itself again and again to be an extremely effective sourcing platform.

Strong International Profile-More than 2,100 exhibitors from 32 countries and regions took the opportunity to reach out to international buyers by participating in the 2010 edition of the fair. Last year's event attracted more than 25,000 buyers from 130 countries and regions. The calibre of these buyers is top-notch, too: they included representatives from major houseware sourcing companies, including Giant Hypermarket, Home Shopping Service, Home Solutions, In Garden, MorganWare, Nitori, QVC, Robinson Department Store and Z Gallerie.

City-centre Venue-The largest event of its kind in Asia, the Houseware Fair also capitalises on the city-centre location of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, which offers maximum convenience.

Global Confidence on the Rise-A survey carried out during the Hong Kong Trade Development Council “mega” fairs in April 2010 found that interviewed buyers were optimistic regarding global economic development over the next 12 months. A total of 65% indicated they expected their procurement expenses to be increased and 64% said they had placed orders or were ready to place them at the fairs. Buyers from mature markets considered brand image a key factor in their procurement activities and particularly welcomed the specialist zones showcasing brands. The survey also highlighted that green products are receiving increased attention from the global marketplace.

Home in on Themed Zones-Special themed zones ensure that exhibitors can connect easily and efficiently with the buyers in their particular market segment.
