ElectronicAmericas 2005 Grows by 20 Percent
August 27, 2004 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
São Paulo, Brazil — In South America, the electronics industry is already getting ready for electronicAmericas 2005, the region's leading trade show for electronic components and assemblies, electronics production, and photonics.
The show will take place from April 25 to 29, 2005, on the Anhembi Trade Fair Grounds in São Paulo, Brazil. The Feira Internacional da Indústria Elétrica (FIE) takes place on the same dates and at the same location.
Registrations for electronicAmericas 2005 with the accompanying technical conference are running at full speed; the trend already indicates that the exhibition area will be enlarged approximately 20 percent. The event organizers, Munich Trade Fairs International, Alcantara Machado and the Brazilian industrial association ABINEE, are expecting exhibitors and visiting electronics professionals from Brazil and the rest of South America as well as from Europe, the U.S. and Asia.
Many of the international exhibition participants use electronicAmericas as a platform to identify new suppliers for components or to gain access to South America as a new market for sales. Brazil is considered the most important center for the electronics industry in this economic region. According to figures from ABINEE, the country exported more than US $4.7 billion of components and goods. On the other side of the equation, approximately US $9.9 billion of electronic products were imported to meet growing domestic demand. More than half this amount, more than US $5.6 billion, went into the import of semiconductors and electronic components alone. Besides the U.S. and Southeast Asia, it is, above all, the countries of the European Union that represent Brazil's most important trading partners.
According to figures submitted by exhibitors, at the last show, which included electronicAmericas 2003 and the FIE event that is held in parallel with it, exhibiting companies acquired orders to the sum of nearly US $1.5 billion. A total of 298 exhibitors and co-exhibitors participated in that event. Approximately one-fifth of the electronicAmericas exhibitors came from Brazil, and the other 80 percent hailed from North America, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Great Britain and Germany. The event was attended by 46,000 professionals from the electronics industry.
