With a leap of 47% growth in the number of exhibitors, the four-day lighting fair period attracted more than 950 exhibitors from 11 countries and regions in 2012 and produced a strong visitor turnout, with over 15,000 buyers from 106 countries and regions attending this stand-alone event. The fair is expected to continue to expand this year and allow more exhibitors to showcase their latest products and to demonstrate innovative technologies to buyers.
In response to environmental concerns, lighting products of higher energy efficiency and longer lifetime are in demand. Another significant development in the industry is the boom of DIY (do-it-yourself) market, so a wide range of hardware items and parts are offered for DIY purposes. Decorative items are no longer limited to seasonal lighting sets but now include domestic lighting products, such as track lights, linear lights and spotlights of different novelty designs.
Both exhibitors and buyers greatly appreciated the numerous opportunities generated by the fair. “My company supplies LED lighting solutions to hotels, restaurants and schools as well as providing architectural and landscape building lighting. This is my fourth visit to this fair – everybody in the industry is here. I take the opportunity to catch up with existing suppliers and find new ones. ” said Colin Holliday, Manager/Owner, Greenlight, Australia.
To keep up with the fast changing market, the 2013 fair will continue to highlight important growing market sectors through its themed zones. Three new zones will shine brightly, including the Hall of Display World which will turn the spotlight onto different types of marketing lighting products such as display panels, advertising light boxes and advertising light signs. World of Chandeliers emphasizes good design with a range of products in style suited to sophisticated settings. The Hall of Accessolight is dedicated to the varied products used in and linked to the lighting industry, including lighting chemicals, metal supply, and glass machining.
