Global Sources' Executive Director, Sarah Benecke, said: "Shanghai is the
perfect location for the shows, attracting visitors from the mainland China
domestic market, the many international buying offices based in the city, plus
international visitors."
"Mainland China is outperforming the retail market in many western
countries, and recently experienced the highest retail sales for nine years.
Overall spending has increased due to rising incomes in both urban areas and
the countryside bringing many opportunities for suppliers of consumer
products," added Benecke.
Dr. Philip Cheng, Chairman and co-founder of Serico Design based in Hong
Kong said: "The domestic market is becoming increasingly important for our
future success. Exhibiting at the China Sourcing Fairs in Shanghai will help
us to meet international buyers of baby and children's products as well as
hundreds from Greater China. We're really looking forward to exhibiting at the
China Sourcing Fairs as they are always well organized and professional."
