Hong Kong International Medical Devices and Supplies Fair 2010

01-09-2010

 

 

Good for business health

The HKTDC Hong Kong International Medical Devices and Supplies Fair took on a welcome fresh look in 2009. Building up from the fair’s good reception, the 2010 event features more than 150 quality exhibitors from around the world, and will again be held at the downtown location of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.


The event helps participants make the most of the growing business opportunities in the medical devices and supplies areas – opportunities driven by greater awareness of the need for healthy living and by the huge rise in home-based care. These factors are especially important in the increasingly affluent Asian market. This is particularly the case in the Chinese mainland, where medical expenditure is rising as a result of the nation’s Rmb850 billion medical-care system reform plan.

 

Valuable opportunities through variety

The event is meticulously organised around special themes to help you zone in on the products of most interest to you.

  • Anyone interested in the future of the medical devices and supplies market should head to the Tech Exchange. This zone features new devices, supplies and concepts with strong business prospects whose developers are eager to link up with manufacturers, entrepreneurs and investors in order to maximise the business potential of their developments.
  • New this year is the Laboratory Equipment Zone, which features different types of testing equipment. This is a future high-growth area, with testing and certification now one of the six pillar industries promoted by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, while simultaneously becoming increasingly important in other markets.
  • The growing need for medical supplies in the hospital and home-based long-term care sectors is the focus of the Medical Supplies and Disposables Zone. This zone showcases products such as gloves, incontinence & stoma aids, and masks, plus many other related items for which demand is increasing every year.

 

 

Buyers' comments

1. "My company distributes medical instruments in the Japanese market and I want to source new products that we can sell in Japan on an exclusive basis. I have found it very useful to attend this fair - medical instruments produced by Asian companies are catching up with the technology in Japan, the quality is good and the prices are also good. I’m happy with the facilities and organisation of the fair, such as the Dragon Lounge. The atmosphere is very professional, and I have been able to conduct serious discussions and negotiations with exhibitors."
Masanori Seki, Deputy Director, Active Medical Co., Ltd., Japan

 

2. "I have been very busy here – HKTDC organised meetings for me with 40 exhibitors in advance of the fair according to my areas of interest. I have seen many products that can be important for my company, such as non-contact thermometers, nebulisers, hospital paper and disposable products, and acupuncture products as well as major pieces of hospital equipment and furniture. I like this fair, my business will definitely benefit as a result. The organisation is very good."
