The 34th Hong Kong International Optical Fair, organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and co-organized by the Hong Kong Optical Manufacturers Association, opened today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Running from November 4 to 6, the fair hosts more than 600 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions under the theme "Bright Eyes-New Horizons." The event showcases innovations in smart technology, eye care, and functional design, reflecting an industry increasingly shaped by sustainability, health awareness, and the rise of the silver economy.
Patrick Yeung, Council Member of the HKTDC, noted that global markets are evolving rapidly, with sustainability, innovation, the silver economy, and increased health awareness emerging as key growth drivers. Smilely Lam, HKTDC Acting Executive Director, emphasized the fair's role as a dynamic marketplace, with buying missions from 34 countries and regions, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, France, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. These missions facilitate trade cooperation and market information exchange.
