Korea, the U.S., Italy, Israel, Australia, Germany, the Philippines,
Singapore and Malaysia are also taking part in the Fairs.
Global Sources' Executive Director, Sarah Benecke, said: "Smart
suppliers have realized that as the global economy starts to improve,
they need to increase their marketing efforts to win orders and meet
new buyers. As a result, we are seeing greater participation in our
electronics shows.
"Record booth numbers are also due to the growing strength of the
China Sourcing Fairs brand, which has gained a reputation for
attracting the highest-quality suppliers and buyers. In today's market,
suppliers need to find volume buyers who can provide repeat, volume
orders. Buyers need to find suppliers who continue to focus on quality
at a reasonable price.
"The China Sourcing Fairs, along with our online and print media,
provide an end-to-end solution for both parties to conduct profitable
business."
