Wire and Cable Guangzhou has experienced consistent year-on-year growth since 2009, including a 14% rise in visitor numbers at its 2019 edition. Despite this growth trend, recent periodic lockdowns around the globe to halt the spread of COVID-19 have forced many wire and cable end-users, including construction projects and automotive manufacturers, to temporarily halt production activity. After extensive consultations with the fair’s stakeholder groups, the organising committee of Wire and Cable Guangzhou therefore decided that deferring the fair to 2021 was the best course of action for the industry.
Mr Emeka Hu, General Manager of Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co Ltd, explained: “With a strong recovery expected in 2021, we believe it is in the best interest of our exhibitors to reserve their marketing efforts for a more vibrant fair next year, when participants will be able to take advantage of a more prosperous business environment, and the fair can continue its growth trend.”
A gateway to opportunities in Southern China
