The 2012 Guangzhou Electrical Building Technology fair recorded impressive numbers in terms of exhibitor and visitor participation to date. Running concurrently with the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition and Building Solar China Guangzhou from 9 ¨C 12 June 2012 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, Guangzhou Electrical Building Technology served as Asia¡¯s leading exhibition for the electrical engineering and building automation industries.
This year, the fair welcomed 26,147 visitors, a 148% increase from 2011. Of all visitors, 79% were domestic, while 21% came from overseas. Exhibition space also saw an impressive increase of 50% at the show¡¯s ninth edition. The 2012 show attracted 261 exhibitors across two dedicated halls totalling 15,000 sq m.
Mr Richard Li, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt in China commented: ¡°There were a number of impressive trends we saw at the fair this year. For example, the 50% increase in exhibition space can be explained by the increasing popularity of building and home automation. A number of our exhibitors this year presented innovative solutions for smart home technology. For electrical engineering, this area continues to be an integral part to building technology. I believe the quality of both exhibitors and visitors has greatly improved this year. From the electrical engineering exhibitors I spoke with, there have been more quality professionals visiting their booths. We believe this was due in part to the concurrent lighting fair. Electrical engineering plays a key role in the development of lighting control systems.¡±
