This year’s exhibitor and visitor profile reinforced the show’s role as a global enabler for the industry.<br /><br />Over 380 exhibitors showed a broad spectrum of electronic parts and components, among them keyboards and switches, power supplies, printed circuit boards and EMS, display technology, test and inspection equipment.<br /><br />Exhibitors were leading industry players from eight countries and regions, including the Taiwan Pavilion organised by Taiwan Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers’ Association (TEEMA). The association’s vice-president, Mr Kevan Tsoi, noted: “This was the first full-fledged physical exhibition edition to resume after the pandemic. Our manufacturers came to contact their previous buyer cohort and get acquainted with new buyer groups. This is a crucial platform for Taiwan manufacturers to promote their products in the global market.”<br /><br />For Mr Zhang Yao, Project Manager of Amicro Semiconductor Co Ltd, an exhibitor from Mainland China, it was an opportunity to update industry developments. “We specialise in intelligent solutions using robots, such as pet companion robots, food delivery, and service robots. We wanted to see if we have any new breakthroughs in the industry, so we brought our newest product, the Pet Companion Robot. By the third day we had made over 30 new contacts and received about 30 orders. We expect to receive 40-50 orders through the show.”<br /><br />Amicro Semiconductor contacts ranged from Brazil, through the Middle East to Thailand. Over 20,000 international buyers were attracted by the high-calibre lineup of exhibitors at electronicAsia. Among them was Mr Jasmond Chooi Chow Sek, General Manager of Mobicon-Remote Electronic Sdn Bhd, Malaysia, a regular visitor since 1998. “This year I came to look for new partners for joint venture opportunities and I have discovered a Hong Kong supplier I would like to partner with. By the second day I had 10-15 new contacts from Mainland China.”<br /><br />Mr Chooi appreciated the Click2Match platform which complements well face-to-face engagement. The two exhibitions are held under the EXHIBITION+ hybrid model, where global exhibitors, industry professionals and buyers can schedule on-site meetings, conduct online negotiations and matching through the smart Click2Match platform.<br /><br />electronicAsia enjoys a symbiotic relationship with the renowned Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) organised by the HKTDC. This year the organisers jointly hosted four events. The Networking Reception on the first day provided an opportunity for exhibitors, visitors and key industry players to engage informally to extend contacts and exchange information.<br /><br />Other events were designed to make significant contributions to deeper knowledge of industry developments and challenges. The Hong Kong Electronic Forum is a longstanding major event presented by the HKTDC, MMI and Hong Kong Electronic Industries Association (HKEIA). This year’s theme, “Latest Microelectronics Ecosystem and Risc-V Revolution”, brought together an impressive group of speakers. A second gathering of international experts addressed the Reliability and Prognostics Health Management of Microelectronics Forum, organised by the HKTDC, HKEIA and CAiRS, completed electronicAsia 2023.<br /><br />The concurrent fairs also organised an Overseas Journalist Meeting, in which trade writers and media representatives were briefed on aspects of the industry and Hong Kong’s current status as an industry exporter. Hong Kong’s pivotal role in the global electronics industry was underlined by its 2022 export figures. The sector represents Hong Kong’s largest merchandise earner with over 70% of its exports in 2022, including the important re-exports, underlining its position as vital electronics trading hub. Journalists were able to interview exhibitors and senior figures from industry associations.<br /><br />The HKTDC conducted an onsite survey of more than 1,100 buyers and exhibitors. Nearly 80% of the exhibitors said they were trying to open up new markets. North America (30%), Northern &amp; Western Europe (28%) and ASEAN Countries (13%) were the most popular.<br />Respondents were optimistic about the development potential of smart home / smart living products and solutions (22%) and electronic / electrical accessories (19%) in the next two years.<br /><br />Market potential for Extended Reality (XR) applications was seen in mobile and online gaming (25%) and automotive or other navigation (24%). Of respondents who use or plan to use Artificial intelligence (AI), customer service and support (52.1%) and product design and development (45.6%) were the most popular areas of application.<br /><br />Sophia Chong, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “We are pleased to see a very vibrant and robust meeting scene throughout the fair period. And we are glad that more than 60,000 global buyers came to Hong Kong to participate in one of the most prominent electronics shows in the world, further reaffirming Hong Kong’s position as an international exhibition centre.”<br /><br />electronicAsia remains committed to promoting meaningful trade through the all-rounded services in the coming edition.  The next electronicAsia will take place October 13 – 16, 2024.</p></div>
