News this week: The 31st edition of the September Hong Kong Jewellery
& Gem Fair, organised by UBM Asia,
concluded last month with record-breaking numbers - 3,633 exhibitors from 48
countries and regions.
UBM hosted the seven-day show at the two venues in Hong Kong.
AsiaWorld-Expo
(AWE) from 11th to 15th September featured the raw
materials, equipment and packaging sectors; while the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition
Centre (HKCEC) displayed the fine jewellery section from 13th to
17th September.
Celine Lau, director of Jewellery Fairs, UBM Asia, said,
“Demand for diamonds and gemstones was robust. The 6.8% growth in visitor
numbers from Asia compared to last year’s edition tells us that the region
continues to be the engine of growth for the luxury jewellery market.
Specifically, the number of buyers from the Chinese mainland was up 11% and
India up 11.6%. We also noticed growth in the number of buyers from other Asian
markets such as Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.”
