HKTDC’s first 2025 trade show:

Toys and Games Fair raises bar on industry trends

Selected products from Baby Products, Stationery & School Supplies fairs will also be showcased next Thursday

 

24 December 2024 – The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) kicks off 2025 with the 51st HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair and 16th HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair, along with the 23rd Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair, co-organised with Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. Themed “New Play for All”, the three fairs will showcase innovative toys and products to meet the needs of different age groups and will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) from 6 to 9 January 2025.

 

The Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair is the first major industry event every year and will see significant increases to the Educational Toys & Games and Electronic and Remote Control Toys zones, bringing along more exhibitors and smart technology, educational and interactivity toys and products, that align with the STEM  trend. Kidult World will present collectible toys, models, figurines and more. The Toys Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong and FHKI Group 19 (Hong Kong Toys Council) will present the first ESG pavilion to enhance awareness and knowledge of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG). Some innovative toys and games products will be on display at the press conference.

 

There will be more exhibitors at the Baby Products Fair than ever before with the popular ODM Strollers and Gear zone continuing for the second consecutive year helping buyers source products from original design manufacturers. The Selection of Europe group pavilion returns and will feature, for the first time, the Baby Products Industry Association from the United Kingdom and showcasing quality European baby brands and products. The brand-new Zhejiang Zhili pavilion will present high-quality infant and children's clothing.

 

The Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair brings together the latest back-to-school items, school and office supplies from all over the world including ASEAN.

 

The three exhibitions offer buyers a one-stop sourcing opportunity, creating more cross-industry business opportunities. Under the EXHIBITION+ model, the fairs merge physical exhibition access and the Click2Match smart-matching platform for online business meetings. The online exhibition will be early accessible from 30 December 2024 until 16 January 2025, to sustain and create greater business opportunities for the industry. Buyers can also scan QR codes at exhibitor booths using the Scan2Match service to bookmark their favourite exhibitors, browse product information and engage with exhibitors even after the fair to make for more business connections.

 

We invite you or your representative to attend a press conference on 2 January 2025. This event will provide more information about the fairs, highlight the latest industry trends, and showcase products. Details are
