Global Sources Hong Kong Shows See 25% Buyer Pre-registration Increase

Global Sources announced on August 31, 2026, that pre-registrations for its October 2026 Hong Kong shows have increased by 25% compared to the previous year.

The growth is attributed to a surge in interest from buyers in Europe and North America. The company noted that rapidly changing consumer trends and stricter regulatory requirements in major markets have made procurement decisions more complex. This may explain the heightened interest in the shows, which offer opportunities to explore a wide range of products and connect with suppliers.

The Hong Kong shows are a significant event for international buyers and manufacturers. They serve as a platform for showcasing the latest products and technologies, as well as for industry networking. The fourth quarter is traditionally a key stocking season for overseas buyers, according to the company's statement.

Global Sources is expected to release further details regarding the show's agenda and exhibitors in the coming weeks. The rise in pre-registrations suggests strong participation interest for the upcoming event.
