Introduction
What is the Global Sources Exhibition?
Global Sources was one of the earliest players in the China B2B sourcing game having being founded in 1970. Being a NASDAQ listed company they are currently one of the biggest players in the industry and their operations cover exhibitions, B2B portals, print & electronic publications as well as several other initiatives geared towards manufacturers, importers around the globe & increasingly inventors & other players in the supply chain.
Global Sources trade shows are held every April and October at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. The shows welcome volume buyers from some 200 countries who come to visit manufacturers and other suppliers from China and throughout Asia. Just to give you an ideaof the scale of the fair, in Oct 2015, 5,800 booths of different suppliers across the eight days of the show participated in the fair & it attracted 84,632 visitors.
Who Should Visit
Executives of businesses that purchase for resale
Senior management, sourcing and product development executives for the world’s leading retailers, manufacturers, venture capital, and brand owners are among the visitors at our exhibitions. Our shows are also heavily attended by a wide range of small and medium-sized import, wholesale and retail businesses – including a fast-growing segment of Amazon and other online sellers.
Executives with purchasing authority
Since our shows are dedicated to strategic sourcing, the majority of attendees have purchasing authority — and executive management job titles like Owner, Partner, President, Director and General Manager.
Executives seeking private-label and suppliers’ brands
Much of the business conducted at Global Sources Electronics is “private label” where the brand is owned by the overseas buyer but the physical product is selected from the portfolio of the contract manufacturer in Asia. There is also a growing amount of sourcing where buyers purchase products with suppliers’ brands, packaged and ready to go straight into retail.
