Reasons to attend MEGA SHOW Hong Kong:

• Established in 2018, the company - CM26 Co. is a Korean based company specializing in producing home products. With modern minimalist design, their folding multi box, kitchen knife block storage and dish rack would elevate your kitchen and living space. We are here because Mega Show is one of the few fairs that combines international reach with a regional focus. Our main market at the moment is South Korea so this fair is an ideal opportunity to meet buyers who are looking for authentic and original products, and to expand our market worldwide. - Ko, Soo Yeon, CEO at CM26 CO., LTD, South Korea

• Hong Kong is an international hub, and the MEGA SHOW provides access to high-level buyers from all over the world. It is our first participation after the pandemic period and our goal is to expand our business volume. The Asian market is growing so much and this event is an opportunity - a platform that helps to find buyers from all over the world, we are mostly interested in European ones, but also in the Middle East. - Mia Han, Sales manager at Cocodor, South Korea 

• Our products are characterized by excellent quality and we have a team in Korea and China - our strong point! The main highlight at our booth is the outdoor table with multifunctional use. It can be used as a shopping cart, a small table (ideal for outdoor activities such as picnics or camping). It weighs only 15 kg which makes it an extremely easy product to carry. We also approached the world of AI by introducing it in vocal devices. - Ko, Soo Yeon, CEO at CM26 CO., LTD, South Korea 

• The kitchenware line that includes resin pieces is a favorite. It is very popular in North America, Europe but also in Japan and South Korea. Like all our products, it was developed by an in-house design team. We have also expanded our product range due to strong customer demand. We have created ceramics, aluminum and a range for bar lovers. -Jimmy Shen, Sales manager at Ningbo Tianyi Natural House Homeware, China

• I think many interesting products came out at the Mega Show. We proposed two innovative products at the fair: the Heated lunch box and the MUKBANG handle plate. Both products were developed considering the needs of people - end consumers. The first is a box that heats up thanks to a sparkle effect obtained by simply adding water inside the container with potassium oxide. The product is eco-friendly and makes life simpler, easier. The second is a plate that has been designed with a handle for the convenience of holding it in your hand during meals. Both products are unique in their kind: they show innovation, constant research and the application of modern and ready-to-use design - all of which creates added value. - Shin Joong Ho, Chairman od the Director at Goodworld Cooperative, South Korea

• We are known for producing eco-friendly materials. We have been here for years because this event gives us visibility and contacts that translate into important contracts. This year we are presenting the new natural biological and plant-based polymer alternative, thus continuing to persevere in our sustainability goals. These eco-friendly biopolymers are not only derived from organic waste but also contribute to waste management and water treatment. Leveraging biotechnology, we optimize microbial processes for production, ensuring minimal environmental impact. The attention towards sustainable materials is growing as people want products that are beautiful but also eco-friendly. - Joseph Lao, CEO at TECHSTAR Limited, China

Impressions of the fair: A springboard to the global market.

• The MEGA SHOW Hong Kong helped us develop our sales network this year: we met our existing and new clients at the show. The fair was very well organised. - -- Mairukh Ahsan, Director at San Trade Limited, Bangladesh

• We are a young kitchen products company with local production; our main target is women, young people. We noticed that they prefer trendy products and online shopping has become extremely big. We want to expand our offline market to cover more customers in physical stores. We have an in-house designer who is in charge of creating new products based on the requests of global demand. The relationships that the fair can allow us to create are remarkable: here at the booth we have the opportunity to interact with people directly and make sure we have business connections. In this way we can consider the needs of the people and to see where to do improvements. We noticed that there is a strong demand for eco-friendly products, and good quality of raw materials. In addition, we have started to use AI in the tools in finance and creation of product designs. - Shin Joong Ho, Chairman of the Director at Goodworld Cooperative, South Korea

Buyers' Opinions:

• This is our first time at MEGA SHOW and we wanted to test our product in a larger market. We were impressed by the impeccable organization and the variety of buyers present. I did not expect such interest in our handicrafts. Buyers are really curious and appreciate the quality. - Min Han, Manager at SHINIL Co., Ltd., South Korea

• We always attend the show; the network we have built here is invaluable. Compared to previous years, the atmosphere this year was particularly energetic. There was a large influx of international buyers who were serious about eco-friendly materials, probably due to the continued growth in demand for everything that involves 'sustainable living'. The buyers this year were very selective, but also more knowledgeable and with clear objectives, with more specific requests than in the past. I believe the market for sustainable products will continue to grow, especially in Europe and North America. - Joseph Lao, CEO at TECHSTAR Limited, China

Trends for the future of the industry:

• We see a lot of interest in sustainable products and quality of materials used. Next year we expect more demand for home items made with the latest technology, without sacrificing design and quality. Our company already uses some special techniques to create the home fragrances: the flowers present are real, they have been processed with natural products to ensure the safety of the product and maintain the visual quality. We are also expanding our product range: we have introduced wellness products since more people tend to choose high-quality and natural products for their body, face, hair. We also have gift boxes that are very cute, especially for the Christmas season. - Mia Han, Sales manager at Cocodor, South Korea 

Future prospects and the role of the fair:

• As the fair is a good platform to meet big buyers, we will attend next year. The global demand for high-quality decorative items is growing, and MEGA SHOW continues to be a key bridge to reach new markets. We are very optimistic about the next edition. - Mia Han, Sales manager at Cocodor, South Korea 

• I'm optimistic. After the pandemic is not the same but we see an increase in demand for our items. After the show we hope to have more and more clients and buyers thus expanding our sales network. We were able to interact not only with buyers (mostly European and American) but also to exchange ideas and understand market trends with other companies in the sector. MEGA SHOW is an incredible platform for us to be known internationally, so we hope to participate in the fair next year too. - Min Han, Manager at SHINIL Co., Ltd., South Korea
