an ideal platform for buyers to efficiently source fast pace

"We are very excited to be staging the largest consumer
electronics sourcing show in Asia
featuring 4,000 booths, many of whom do not exhibit at other shows
in the region," said Tommy Wong,
President of Global Sources Exhibitions. "With high demand for show
booths from exhibitors and increasing participation of buyers,
Global Sources' electronics fairs are more influential in the
market and have become must-attend events for buyers seeking
China-made electronics
products."

the shows are Best Buy, BOSCH, Brookstone, Canadian Tire,
Carrefour, Coles Group Asia, Honeywell, IBM, Kenwood, Kesa
Electricals, Li & Fung, LG Electronics, Logitech, NEC,
Panasonic, RadioShack, Samsung, Staples and Tesco.

are product categories expected to enjoy high growth in coming
years. Plus, with overall spending on consumer electronics devices
projected to increase from US$1
trillion this year to US$1.4
trillion by 2015, we expect attendance at the Fairs
