Global buyers sourcing in Hong Kong amid export rebound
 
HKTDC Acting Executive Director Benjamin Chau noted that Hong Kong exports are recovering amid improving consumer confidence in global markets.
 
“Exports of lighting products reached HK$1.4 billion in the first two months of this year, up 4.7 per cent year-on-year. Increases were registered in such major export countries as the United States (+8.1%), the Chinese mainland (+8.9%), France (+17.5%), the United Arab Emirates (+288.2%), the Netherlands (+38.7%) and Poland (+212.4%).”
 
He expects global buyers to find a diverse choice of innovative products at the Spring Lighting Fair.
 
The HKTDC has organised 60 buying missions comprising more than 2,900 companies and representing importers and distributors. Swiss LED from the US, Roschi Technology GmbH from Germany, GE Lighting from the Chinese mainland, Wipro Enterprises (P) Ltd from India, JSC PALANTIR from Russia, and Skyelume FZC from the UAE are among the companies on hand bringing new business opportunities for exhibitors.

New Smart Lighting & Solutions zone
 
Mr Chau said that the Internet of Things (IoT) accelerated the development of smart lighting, and the industry is optimistic about the growth potential of this product category.
 
“To respond to market needs, this year’s Spring Lighting Fair features a new Smart Lighting & Solutions zone to showcase the latest smart lighting products, systems and solutions. These include an energy-saving citywide lighting management system that switches on and off automatically at pre-set times based on the city’s longitude and latitude (Booth no.: 3C-D06), and a smart-touch remote control with a wireless control range of 40 metres (Booth no.: 3C-D38).”
 
Meanwhile, due to environmental concerns, lighting products of higher energy efficiency are preferred and energy-efficient LED lamps and lighting apparatus are replacing incandescent light bulbs as mainstream products.
 
Mr Chau also pointed out that LED & Green Lighting continues to be the largest thematic zone at the Spring Lighting Fair, attracting more than 450 suppliers presenting products that are both functional and decorative.

Sourcing is further facilitated with various specialised product zones, including the World of Professional & Industrial Lighting, Commercial Lighting and Advertising Display Lighting.
