Tencent Digital (Zhou Shuo) On October 21, after four days of exhibition, the Global Sources Electronics Show is drawing to a close. This year's Global Sources Hong Kong Electronics Show has more than 2,600 booths, including VR devices, smart phones, tablet PCs, wearable devices, and mobile electronic accessories. As the world's largest mobile electronic product procurement event, Global Sources Mobile Electronics Show attracted many top industry buyers from around the world to visit. However, looking at the status of the entire exhibition, it is not difficult for us to discover that the new type of equipment has taken the absolute leading position. VR, makers, and smart homes have largely replaced the traditional equipment and become the focus of buyers.
VR becomes an absolute protagonist
According to the data from research institutions, the market size of VR will reach 33.9 billion U.S. dollars by 2022. Obviously this is a huge market. It is precisely for this reason that the organizer of the exhibition has just opened an experience zone for such devices as AR/VR, and for the first time held a special “VR/AR/MR Ecological Circle Summit Forumâ€. The forum describes the industry hotspots from multiple perspectives of hardware, software, and developers. The companies that participated in the speech included Intel, Microsoft, HTC Vive, AMD, and NVIDIA, which led the industry's latest wave.
In the VR Experience Zone, we see a large number of products from China's Shenzhen, South Korea, Japan, and other countries gathered here, and the products are experiencing improvements from multiple dimensions. Taking a VR device as an example, traditional VR headsets often give people the impression of being heavy and wearing discomfort. This time, there are many ultra-lightweight products on display, which can be comfortable on Peti without affecting the visual experience. There is a more revolutionary improvement in sex. This is a trend that is reflected in VR products at this exhibition.
In addition to products such as VR backpacks, the product has evolved from being chased by only a handful of companies at first, and the configuration is also innovating along with the continuous upgrading of hardware manufacturers' products, with the most typical of Shenzhen manufacturers. This time, at the exhibition site, a backpack-style VR console from Shenzhen attracted a lot of people to step forward.
"Creater Space" Provides More Opportunities for Startups
"Creater Space" is the start-up enterprise exhibition area for this conference. Over 150 booths showcase innovative technology products of many start-up hardware companies. It can help e-startup companies find effective distribution channels while helping buyers discover the latest and most innovative products and seize market opportunities.
Generally speaking, compared to large-scale mature products, maker products often remain in the development and prototype stages, but this does not mean that they have no value. For many buyers, good product ideas and design ideas are very commercially valuable. "Creater Space" undoubtedly provides opportunities for both Maker and Maker products to engage with buyers and channel distributors. This is a win-win measure for both distributors and makers of products and for distribution channels and buyers. As a bridge, the Global Sources Electronics Show has an extraordinary role.
Asia's first smart living area
The smart home product market is in a period of rapid development and it is expected that its market size will reach 121.73 billion US dollars in 2022. Smart Living Pavilion is a new exhibition area added to this exhibition. It focuses on smart home security, lighting and energy management, entertainment products, household appliances and accessories. The exhibition area is also more effective in recommending such smart home security devices to the eyes of global buyers and promoting the formation of global orders.
Although the exhibition area was established for the first time, from the point of view I observed on the spot, Global Sources is very good at tying together a variety of relevant smart home devices in the same scene, making them an organic whole in a home environment. . It shows how these smart home devices can improve their lives and enhance their living experience. Among them, intelligent access control systems, smart mirrors, smart medicine boxes and other products are impressive.
summary
This year's Global Sources Electronics Show further expanded the scale of the exhibition on the basis of the success of the last session. The number of booths has been significantly expanded. In the selection and arrangement of product types, current trends and hotspots are also closely followed. VR/AR, smart home, and maker space are also represented on different hot spots. As the world's largest mobile electronic product procurement event, Global Sources Hong Kong Electronics Fair once again received the attention of the whole industry, leading the industry in the forefront of the era.
