Key Industry Players to Discuss IoT, Automotive, Wireless, and Supply Chain Trends and Opportunities at EAC 2022

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, Oct 17, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Recent economic and geopolitical developments, on top of the supply chain shortages and tight inventories in some markets, have driven market watchers to reduce their forecast growth for the semiconductor industry this year. Gartner Inc., for one, reduced its earlier forecast of 13.6% global semiconductor revenue growth this year to just 7.4%.

The market research firm, however, noted that this down cycle is not new and has happened many times before. Despite the softness in the consumer market, demand remains resilient in the data center sector due to the continued investment in cloud infrastructure, while the automotive electronics sector is expected to see double-digit growth amid the increasing IC content per vehicle due to the transition to electric and autonomous cars.

Overall, the outlook remains bright for the semiconductor industry. According to industry association SEMI, global semiconductor equipment billings rose by 7% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter this year, and by 6% year-over-year to $26.43 billion. Taiwan, China, and South Korea led the rest of the world in terms of quarterly billings.

Semiconductor companies worldwide are expected to expand their 300mm fab capacity at nearly 10% compound average growth rate from 2022 to 2025, SEMI said in its 300mm Fab Outlook to 2025 report. Mainly driving this growth is strong demand for automotive semiconductors and new government funding and incentive programs in multiple regions.

Highlighting such trends and innovations, the inaugural Electronics Asia Conference (EAC) 2022, scheduled for October 18–20, 2022, will feature some of the leading semiconductor companies discussing new applications and markets driving the technology developments in the semiconductor industry.

Organized by AspenCore, the publisher of EETimes Asia, EETimes India, and EDN Asia, the three-day event will feature a virtual conference and exhibition, and will focus on the latest trends and opportunities on the Internet of Things (IoT), automotive electronics, wireless technologies, and the supply chain.

The most demanding customers, such as banks, finance firms, and defense agencies trust Cloudian with their data," said Tze Chuan Wong, Sales Engineer at Cloudian, in his tech talk on 'Modernizing your Data Protection Infrastructure in the Hybrid Cloud.'

HKTDC’s five autumn technology fairs conclude

HONG KONG, Oct 16, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The physical elements of the five autumn technology fairs organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) drew to a successful conclusion today. The four-day exhibition attracted more than 9,800 buyers to attend the fairs in person at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre to view products and discuss business opportunities.

The physical elements of the five autumn technology fairs organised by HKTDC, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, drew to a successful conclusion today.

The Symposium on Innovation & Technology invited industry experts to examine the latest tech development trends.

The So French So Innovative pavilion organised a series of seminars themed "French Eye-Fresh Eye – Towards a Sustainable Future".

This year's fairs adopted the HKTDC's new EXHIBITION+ hybrid model, with the Click2Match platform providing a smart business-matching function to help build connections between exhibitors, buyers and industry professionals worldwide. As of today, the HKTDC has arranged more than 3,000 business-meeting sessions through Click2Match while over 10,000 buyers have browsed products and made business connections via the five fairs' online platforms. Click2Match will remain active until 23 October for the five fairs.

Sophia Chong, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said, "The five autumn technology fairs featured more than 1,100 exhibitors, over 340 of which are online exhibitors from Mainland China and overseas, showcasing numerous creative ideas, smart products and innovative solutions that can benefit Hong Kong's future development. The fairs were the first business-to-business (B2B) exhibitions held following the Hong Kong government's implementation of the '0+3' quarantine arrangement and we were delighted to see some of the international buyers gradually returning to our physical events. The HKTDC will continue to provide comprehensive support to Hong Kong's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), assisting them to connect with global buyers and capitalise on post-pandemic business opportunities."

She added: "The HKTDC will launch an international innovation and technology (I&T) promotion campaign on a larger scale next April. The goal is to further promote Hong Kong's technological development and the complementary advantages of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area industrial chain, contributing to the city's transformation into an international I&T hub."

Industry more optimistic regarding medium-term outlook for I&T sector

The HKTDC conducted an on-site survey during the fairs to understand exhibitors' and buyers' views on the outlook for the I&T sector and what they expect the major trends to be. The survey found that 35% of respondents expected product sales will increase in the next six to 12 months, while 47% anticipated that sales will remain unchanged. Respondents were more optimistic about market conditions in the medium term; 46% expected that sales of their products will increase in the next one to two years, while 42% believed sales will remain unchanged.

The rapid development of technologies presents enormous business opportunities. More than 70% of those surveyed expected that the smart lighting market will present ideal market potential in the coming two years, while 60% saw robotics offering the best growth prospects. As for the application of robots, most respondents believed their use in the medical field has the greatest potential, including for surgery and rehabilitation.

Demand for smart products continues to grow

Presented under the theme "Innovations for Better Living", the five autumn technology fairs brought together exhibitors and industry professionals from across the globe, offering Hong Kong's start-ups an important platform to showcase their I&T solutions and generate business opportunities. Stang Limited, a Hong Kong start-up joining the HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) for the first time, featured its Qoolmate, an ice pack incorporated with a thermal thick film integrated circuit. Sidney Tang, the company's project manager, said they had met more than 100 potential buyers from Hong Kong, Europe, Japan, Korea, Mainland China and the United States through the fair. He revealed that one Japanese buyer will order 500 sets of Qoolmate once Stang has obtained the necessary safety certifications from authorities in different regions.

Five fairs assemble top-notch technologies, attracting global buyers to source onsite

Following the implementation of the "0+3" quarantine arrangements, overseas visitors with an Amber Code are able to participate in B2B exhibitions in Hong Kong during their three days of medical surveillance. The five autumn fairs welcomed buyers from India, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Poland and Thailand, among other countries and regions, to source at the fairground. Przemyslaw Kowalczyk, a buyer at Polish company LEDIN Sp. z o.o., said he was able to return to the HKTDC Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) thanks to the HKTDC's support. "I am pleased to have a chance to visit the fair again this year. I have found two potential suppliers of tri-proof lights and garden lights. I plan to do business with one of the suppliers and place an order for US$1 million worth of tri-proof lights next year."

Smart business-matching platform builds global opportunities

The five autumn technology fairs all adopted the new EXHIBITION+ hybrid model that combines four key exhibition elements, including HKTDC-organised physical fairs, the smart business-matching platform Click2Match, online-to-offline seminars under the Intelligence Hub, and the hktdc.com Sourcing platform. LED Lighting & Energy Storage Systems, an importer of commercial and industrial lighting from the US, was looking to develop partnerships with new suppliers through the fairs in order to offer quality lighting solutions to its customers.

Jorge E Cruz, the company's representative, said he found six or seven potential business partners supplying smart lighting solutions, landscape lighting and smart downlights at the physical Autumn Lighting Fair and the HKTDC Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo. He plans to place orders with three potential suppliers. "The online meetings arranged through the HKTDC's Click2Match platform provided a good option for me to meet with suppliers that are not participating in the physical fairs. I will have online meetings with six suppliers after the physical fairs," Mr Cruz said.

Nearly 50 content-rich events were held during the fairs, including the Symposium on Innovation & Technology, the Hong Kong Electronic Forum and seminars held by the So French So Innovative pavilion and the B4B Challenge pavilion respectively, with visitors keen to participate. Industry professionals can watch videos of the events through the fair websites.

Following on from the five autumn fairs, the HKTDC will coordinate the first edition of International Healthcare Week in November to promote medical technologies, with two flagship events: the HKTDC Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair 2022 (9 to 11 November for the physical fair) and the Asia Summit on Global Health 2022 (10 and 11 November). The objectives are to spur industry exchange and generate business opportunities in this increasingly important sector.

*The five autumn technology fairs are the HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition), electronicAsia (organised by the HKTDC and MMI Asia Pte Ltd), HKTDC International ICT Expo, HKTDC Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) and HKTDC Hong Kong International Outdoor and Tech Light Expo.

analytica Vietnam exhibition returns to reunite the industry after its 4 years hiatus

HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM, Oct 11, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – analytica Vietnam announces its return on 19-21 April 2023 to reunite the diagnostics laboratory industry in Southeast Asia after 4 years. It is part of the world's leading series of analytica exhibitions which is headlined by the world's largest show for this sector in Munich. The upcoming seventh edition of the trade fair for analysis, laboratory technology and biotechnology will be held at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Since its launch in 2009, analytica Vietnam has become the industry's most vital trade fair in the growing laboratory market in SEA. 2023 will be the first largest face-to-face reunion of the industry to resume its extensive conference program alongside supporting side events to accompany the exhibition. Companies who wish to exhibit can begin registration now for analytica Vietnam and rejoin industry experts – Analytik Jena, Merck, Metrohm, Mettler Toledo, Shimadzu and Water — at the exhibition next spring.

The largely expanding Vietnamese market for analysis, biotechnology and laboratory technology is displayed by the high demand for exhibiting opportunities at analytica Vietnam. In 2019, the trade fair recorded 143 exhibitors spanning 15 countries and more than 4,144 registered trade visitors, marking a rise of 33% in occupied space from its previous edition in 2017. Returning from the pandemic, this event will once again provide its featured exhibitors and trade visitors with a platform to push the exposure of their businesses and networks to new heights.

Re-penetrating Southeast Asia's fastest-growing market
Vietnam`s economy is increasing rapidly; with an expected real GDP growth of 5.5%-6.5% this past year. Vietnam's GDP forecast is positive and better than the other ASEAN countries in 2022 with a projected growth of 6.7% in 2023. With that growth rate, Vietnam stands to be one of the most dynamic counties in Southeast Asia where its main growth driver is the processing industry, which grew by an impressive 11% even during the pandemic. The dynamic strength of the economy is also reflected in the great business potential in analytics, laboratory technology and biotech industries which analytica Vietnam will be bringing together.

Face-to-face networking with old and new connections
As the leading exhibition in its sector and the largest trade fair in the analysis, laboratory technology and biotechnology markets, attendees will be exposed to new potential customers from untapped markets at a level they have not experienced in years. The exhibition is also supported by leading institutions, and renowned associations and boasts a myriad of international pavilions including China, Germany, Taiwan and Singapore. Reports from previous editions showed that 98% of visitors would recommend the exhibition to their networks, 93% would attend the upcoming edition and 97% are satisfied with the completeness and breadth of the product range showcased at the trade fair. Exhibitors are also invited to join the offsite lab tours for some valuable insights into a local Vietnamese lab.

"analytica Vietnam's comeback is set to be the most exciting trade fair for this sector Southeast Asia has yet to expect," says Michael Wilton, CEO of the trade-fair organizer, MMI Asia Pte Ltd. "I'm excited to witness the reunion of the industry, showcases of new technology and shared knowledge through new and old connections happening again after the world's recovery from COVID-19," Michael affirms. Therefore, in 2023, analytica Vietnam will once more integrate the valuable experience of new meetings and the passing of new solutions through a holistic platform.
