Richard Tan, general
manager of show organiser InfoCommAsia Pte, concludes: “We are very happy to witness such strong support from especially the audio exhibitors, who through the years have come to recognise IFC as the best platform for them to reach out to China’s AV market, both for the installed as well as live events sectors. It also points to the fact that companies in China are raising their stakes on the markets. This is not surprising as China's AV market is projected to grow at 20% a year to be worth some $15.3 billion by 2015, two-thirds the size of the entire European market.”
AFTER RECORD-BREAKING attendance in 2013, this year’s InfoComm China (IFC) will occupy the entire China National Convention Center in Beijing for the first time. Total attendance at the three-day show hit a new high last year, ushering in a total of 19,431 visitors from across the industry, up 20% from the previous year. This growth is expected to continue in 2014 when all six halls of the venue will be filled with the latest products for the pro-AV market, and more than 23,000 professionals are expected to attend the show. IFC is the only event in the whole of the country that caters to such a broad spectrum of market sectors, including corporate IT, government, military, education, transportation, healthcare, hospitality, retail and entertainment; over one- third of attendees are technology managers and integrators.
