ASIA - Global Sources is launching a new mobile and wireless show at its China Sourcing Fair in April 2014, due to growing industry demand claims.
The NASDAQ-listed US organiser will co-locate the Mobile & Wireless show with its two industry sourcing events; China Sourcing Fair: Electronics & Components and the China Sourcing Fair: Security Products, at Asia-World Expo, Hong Kong in April 2014.
"Mobile and wireless are two of the fastest-growing categories in the industry and consumer demand is coming from both developed and emerging markets,” said president of Global Sources, Tommy Wong. “We have decided to give buyers and suppliers a separate event to highlight the category and to enable them to do business more effectively."
The show will feature pavilions with exhibitors showcasing smartphones and tablets, accessories, mobile apps and applications, and wireless devices. Private sourcing events and free conference programmes will be hosted to help buyers and exhibitors network and learn about the latest industry trends.
"This will be the first show of its kind in Asia,” said Wong. “It will be built on the foundation of our strong relationships with many of Asia's most innovative suppliers as well as with many of the world's top electronics buyers."
The new show is scheduled to be held each April and October and will showcase more than 800 booths at its launch in April 2014.
Global Sources recently reported a rise in Chinese trade in South America.
