- “We manufacture synthetic opals used in jewellery products, but are looking to develop a new market of decoration for electronic and audio products, such as headphones and portable audio players. For this reason we are exhibiting at this fair because it is a good platform for us. We’ve seen buyers from a range of markets, particularly mainland China, Taiwan, Europe, Turkey and Israel. We’ve found that the buyers are serious about following up their interest in our product. ”
Peter Chan, General Manager, Kyocera Corporation, Japan
- “This show provides the best platform to showcase our products to worldwide buyers, especially as it takes place at the peak period for displaying new designs and products to enhance business and attract international buyers. This is the world’s biggest and best event for consumer electronics and digital entertainment products. We are attending for the first time, to launch our G Force brand globally, along with our new 32" LED TV. HKTDC has put tremendous efforts into promoting the show to worldwide buyers by providing them world-class facilities, travel packages, a VIP lounge, product promotions opportunities, media channels, promotion through the worldwide network of HKTDC offices, buying missions, seminars, and so on. The concept of the Hall of Fame for promoting brand-name products has been very successful and has created tremendous business opportunities for exhibitors. ”

This event brings in a lot of buyers, plus the timing is good as prospects are starting to go up after the economic crisis and people want to start new things and find new ideas. Already we’ve met many buyers from Europe, plus some from the US, which is good for us as our high-quality products target these developed markets. ”

We are happy with the results and plan to have a bigger booth next year. ”

Buyers' Comments |
- “Hong Kong is the centre of the world as far as the electronics business is concerned, so I never miss the opportunity to come here. All of my suppliers are either from Hong Kong or Guangzhou in the Chinese mainland and it’s good to have face-to-face contact with them. And I can find new suppliers here, too. With technology changing so quickly, we don’t hold too much stock any more, so it is essential to source new items. I have already placed several orders with a total value of more than US$40,000 (HK$312,000) on the first day.”
Ogulcan Cemen, Owner, Ardagul Cemen, Turkey
- “My experience at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair has been good in the past – previously one of the largest in the world, and now the biggest. The timing of this October event is good. I’m particularly looking for small household appliances – here we can find reliable suppliers with new products, good quality and value for money. This is the best electronics event in the world. ”
Bertalan Hajdu, Financial Director, Beez Amsterdam Kft., Hungary
- “We have 14 shops in Argentina selling different brands of mobile phones. I’m here for the first time to find new products in different designs, especially touch-screen phones, and different colours; there isn’t the variety in Argentina so this is the place for us to find something new. No other place in the world can offer what Hong Kong does. The information we got in advance of the show from HKTDC was very helpful – we were even able to set up meetings with exhibitors. ”
Gaston de la Vega, Director, Celu Service SRL, Argentina
- “This is my first visit to this show. There are a lot of interesting products here that we can add to our company’s portfolio. I’m particularly looking for PC accessories such as mice, webcams, keyboards and headsets. I’m impressed with the organisation of the fair, especially the help from the HKTDC office in Bulgaria, which not only provided me with information on the fair but on hotels and the city in general. ”
Mitko Topalov, ASBIS Enterprises Plc., Bulgaria
- “Multielectronics is one of the top companies in Bulgaria. I’m making my first visit here to search for manufacturers to produce items for our own brand – I’m interested in large suppliers that can work with multi-nationals, which I believe I can find here. We’re looking to expand our product range, particularly in the field of communications, such as headsets. It is a well organised event and I’ve received good support from the HKTDC office in Bulgaria. ”
I van Nachev, Chief Executive Officer, Multielectronics JSC., Bulgaria

We’ve been visiting this show since 2000 because the variety and quality of products and suppliers better than elsewhere. We arrange to meet our existing suppliers to get updates on their products, but we can also find new suppliers and new products – I’ve already found one particular new item that I am interested in. I am pleased with the extension to the fair venue – I’ve found the access to the halls to be very easy. ”
Ali M. Soufian, Marketing Manager, Soufian Trading Est., Iran
- “We have been producing white boards and screens in Hungary for the past 20 years, but in order to be competitive we want to source good-quality items from Chinese and Hong Kong suppliers, so we are visiting this fair for the first time.

Gabor Lakatos, Managing Director, Vizual, Hungary

I was invited by HKTDC to visit the fair for the first time, so I’ve come to look for new suppliers – not just from the Chinese mainland but from other areas, too. I like this fair very much and think it is well organised. I’ve found new products here. ”
Natalia Romanova, Director, TNT Computer Company, Russia
- “My company is a retailer operating two hypermarkets in Russia. In order to be competitive, we have decided to arrange direct connections with China-based manufactures instead of going through importers and trading companies. I have found a lot of suppliers that I can work with – they have new products that are good value. My impression of this fair is good – it is well organised. ”
Alexey Bykor, Purchasing Department Head, Electronny Ray, Russia
- “International Traders is a conglomerate involved in manufacturing, distribution, retail and financial services; one arm of the business imports home and kitchen appliances. This is my first visit here - I had heard that it was a good place to meet Hong Kong-based suppliers that do not exhibit elsewhere, so it is an opportunity to increase my supplier base. At this fair, we can be confident about the reliability of the exhibitors. HKTDC helped us a lot in the run-up to the fair. ”
M. Kishor, Manager – General Merchandise, International Traders (Middle East) Ltd., UAE
- “This is my fourth visit to this fair – this time it is even bigger than before. I want to find new suppliers and new products in the AV, CCTV and security products fields. I’ve found interesting items in AV and radios, in particular. I request samples and take the information back to Argentina to make a decision - I find that exhibitors follow up very quickly as they really want to do business. The facilities at the show are good and people here are very helpful, especially with directions. ”
