15th Edition

Taiwan Hardware Show impresses with increasing numbers

10.11.2015

The organisers of the Taiwan Hardware Show report significant growth in all key figures. The 15th edition of the fair from 12 to 14 October 2015 recorded 26 865 visitors and thus seven per cent more than a year ago. The number of exhibitors increased by twelve per cent to 382, ​​the exhibition area in the Greater Taichung International Expo Centre by 20 percent to 15 100 m². Around 70 percent of exhibitors returned after multiple participations, the number of new principal brands and producers increased by 33 per cent.
The positive development of the key figures reflects the efforts made by Kaigo in recent years to make the Taiwan Hardware Show more appealing. Thus, the not entirely risk-free relocation of the exhibition from the capital Taiwan to Taichung has paid off. Around 90 per cent of the Taiwanese hardware production is concentrated in this region. With this in mind, the organiser Kaigo, which belongs to the German Messe Dusseldorf, announced an extension of their commitments. The 16th edition of THS from 12 to 14 October will occupy additional halls in Taichung.
After all, a quarter of the visitors came from the important sales regions of Europe (18 per cent) and North America (7.5 per cent). The largest groups of visitors came, as expected, from Japan and Korea (together 21.4 per cent) and other Asian countries (37.7 per cent).
