October 2026 Global Sources Hong Kong Shows: 25% Jump in Buyer Pre-registration as Europe, North America Lead the Surge

▤ Summary

Global Sources will hold its October 2026 Hong Kong shows with stronger buyer pre-registration and a larger supplier lineup across electronics, mobile, smart home, and related categories. The event emphasizes faster sourcing cycles, on-site sampling, and immediate supplier evaluation as global procurement becomes more complex. Compliance now plays a bigger role in supplier selection, especially around EU battery rules and digital product passport requirements. The show also highlights AI products moving toward mass production and a growing circular-economy segment for used smartphones and certified resale. Tencent AI will demonstrate agent products and join the broader AI programming at the event.
