Retail Asia Expo & Congress 2010

Retail Asia Expo & Congress 2010 in Hong Kong

The event comprises The Retail Technology Expo and The Retail Design & In-Store Marketing Expo as co-located shows together with The Retail Asia Congress.

Retail Asia Expo & Congress, the first professionally organised business exhibition for the Asia Pacific's retail sector which is the world's largest and fastest growing. Most international retail brands are finding their domestic markets to offer limited growth prospects or are in decline. Therefore they look to Asia and China in particular for expansion.

The Retail Asia Congress also runs alongside the expos, brings together hundreds of leading retailers, architects, brand owners and suppliers from around the world for a high-level conference to cover the most critical strategic issues in the industry.

The location is perfect: Hong Kong is rightly seen as the retail capital of Asia where diversity and quality of the shops are a match for anywhere else in the world. It is a substantial and sophisticated market in its own right. The geographical proximity of Hong Kong to China, with a population of nearly 1.3 billion, means it is also on the doorstep of the largest consumer market in the world. And being in the centre of the Asia Pacific region means its catchment area includes most of the retail markets with the greatest growth potential for the next five years.

The region is highly competitive and retailers have to be more innovative than anywhere else to succeed. They must excel in in-store design and embrace the latest high-technology systems to satisfy their customer needs. These vital aspects are addressed by the two core elements of the show - shop design and retail technology.
