The Hong Kong International Optical Fair will present the latest innovations and technology in eyewear, when it opens on 6 November.
As Asia’s premium trade fair specialising in optical technology and services, the event will feature displays and product demonstrations by industry players, including famous brands and designers, from around the world.
Exhibitors will include frame, lens and component manufacturers as well as producers of diagnostic equipment, optical accessories and children’s eyewear.
Technological innovations will be a highlight of this year’s Fair, with smart eyewear products and mobile vision solutions certain to draw attention.
Attendees will enjoy exciting product launches and fashion shows featuring the latest creations from famous brands and emerging designers keen to make their mark.
Running alongside the exhibition, the Hong Kong International Optometric Symposium will feature seminars and forums showcasing recent trends in the global optical industry.
The fair is an annual event organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council for over 30 years and is a highlight on the international optical industry calendar.
In 2023, the fair attracted over 700 exhibitors and more than 12,000 buyers from 92 countries and regions, including a significant increase in attendance from ASEAN markets, India, Macao and Mainland China.
Reactions to the 2023 event reflected how the eyewear industry has embraced environmental protection and recycled materials.
Hong Kong exhibitor Wingram Industrial demonstrated its biodegradable products in 2023. Head of Operations May Ng said: “We received positive feedback from eyewear manufacturers and brand owners from India, Italy, Japan, Mainland China, Thailand and Mauritius. Five to six new buyers will place orders for our material after the fair.”
