We are a manufacturer of wiring terminals with over 30 years of experience exporting globally. For nearly 20 consecutive years of participation, this exhibition has functioned as an invaluable platform for securing new customers, maintaining existing relationships, and promoting our extensive product range worldwide. This year, initial buyer traffic exceeded expectations. While limited recently by macro challenges, we still met potential partners from markets as diverse as Brazil, Europe, Southeast Asia and beyond. Some already expressed interest, with others taking catalogues to consider further. While attending the event, I came across some innovative products outside of our usual scope, like those supporting the growing beauty care sector.

We are JAC Motors, a company under the Anhui State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. We are a comprehensive automotive manufacturing enterprise, involved in the production of complete vehicles, chassis, and components. Our main objective for this exhibition is to seek overseas electronic components, especially products related to in-car entertainment systems or connected applications. We've established contact with around three or four companies. These may lead to potential future orders. Regarding market trends, I mainly observed head-up displays (HUDs) and electronic rear view mirrors. HUDs were originally intended to replace dashboards, but in recent years, other OEMs have reintroduced dashboards, so the adoption of HUDs might progress more gradually. Additionally, electronic rear view mirrors for both passenger and commercial vehicles are also emerging as a trend. I believe this exhibition provided a platform for us to gain an understanding of our peers' overall product solutions in a relatively short time. Next time, we are likely to send colleagues from other departments to participate.

Our business focuses on battery chargers, adapters, power supplies, and batteries. Currently, we want to introduce Bluetooth chargers for mobile devices, iPads, and computers. We arranged meetings through Click2match platform. At the moment, we have two potential suppliers: one from Hong Kong and the other from China. The HKTDC representative guided me through the platform in great detail, making the process very smooth. As for market trends in our industry, we are currently working with the e-commerce platform Amazon, which is an area we will focus in the future. Since Europe requires certification for all electronic products, I will buy some samples instead. I will purchase 3 or 4 samples from the 2 potential suppliers and bring them back to Spain. The organization is excellent, and the fair provides all the facilities I need. I will attend the fair again in April next year.

We are the smart home solutions provider in Thailand and looking for innovative new products and technologies to offer our customers. That's why I have been attending the electronicAsia and HKTDC Electronics Fair in Hong Kong. The Fair was very successful in meeting our objectives. I was able to find around 2-3 potential new suppliers of smart home devices and chipsets within my budget range of $2,000-4,000 USD. Attending the Fair gave me visibility into the latest trends and allowed direct comparison of product offerings. Hong Kong's central location also made it easy to meet suppliers from various countries and regions face-to-face. The Click2Match meeting scheduling tool provided by HKTDC was useful for pre-arranging meetings with targeted exhibitors. Nonetheless, the fair gave me valuable exposure to smart home solutions that I plan to bring back to the growing Thai market. I will certainly consider returning next year to continue expanding my supplier network and sourcing new smart home products.
