GARDEN Trader 2024

Success for Market, Gains for Manufacturers According to Statista Market Insights Dec 2023 report, Taiwan’s the Hardware & Building Materials market is projected to generate a revenue of US$8.55bn in 2024 and will continue to experience an annual growth rate of 4.51% (CAGR 2024-2028). The growing demand for housing and lateral need for home renovation locally as well as in neighbouring Asian markets or further across Europe and the Americas will drive Taiwan's hardware and building materials market upwards as Taiwanese manufacturers gain more supply demands due to their advanced manufacturing capabilities and quality product innovations. “THS’ patterned success mirrors the market positive trajectory as we are on track to achieve 15% growth in exhibitor participation, with an 84% rate of returning exhibiting companies from the 2023 edition. The pre-sale privileges for early booth sign-ups have been fully exhausted so this gives us good indication that compa- nies are enthusiastic about the sales return of investment of their participation at THS 2024,” said Keim again. Keim also drew upon the parallel strategy of exhibiting companies to boost their brand visibility and optimizing access to new global customers through participation at a dedicated trade show like THS where they will meet genuine buyers and distribution partners who are confident of Taiwan’s manufacturing performance and supply operations. Confirmed exhibiting companies with outstanding booth showcase plans are also assured of value-added services such as exclusive networking sessions with VIP visiting delegations led by international industry associa- tions, curated media tours for product spotlight publicity and other integrated marketing outreach privileges to enhance their pre-show introductions to over 25,0000 potential trade buyers from over 80 countries welcomed to visit the show. Key exhibitors are also invited to present at the various concurrent seminars, including an international forum hosted by international expert, featuring more than 10 notable industry experts as speakers to deliver their insights regarding the trend perspective on the developments of the global hardware industry. Some of the confirmed exhibiting include GOLDEN ROOST, GONG FONG, JEOU SHENG, KUKA, MATATAKI- TOYO, SHEN YU PLASTIC and many more. They will showcase a diverse range of products covering THS’s ten exhibit categories; power tools, tools & accessories, fasteners & fittings, building supplies, machine & plant equipment, garden & plant equipment, garden & outdoor equipment, automotive supplies & accessories, locks & fittings, plumbing hardware and safety equipment and products. The internationality reputation of THS will be fulfilled with over 300 local and overseas exhibiting companies taking up over 10,000 sqm of exhibition space at Hall 2 of the exhibition center. Remaining booth spaces are available until April 2024 as the organizer targets a sold-out booking before mid-2024 to prepare for worldwide visitor promotions robustly in the six months leading to the show. In order to achieve a competitive show floor with large manufactur- ers alongside emerging supplier brands and small to medium sized enterprises, the organizer has collaborat- ed with 5 industry associations namely; Taiwan Metal Industry Association/ industry Association/ Import and Export Association etc. to provide subsidies to qualified companies that are looking to expand their distribution channels outside of Taiwan.
